Belstaff Fieldmaster Waxed Jacket - Black - Size UK 36

The frequency of re-waxing depends on your usage and environmental exposure. Typically, a waxed cotton jacket should be re-waxed every 1-2 years, or sooner if you notice that water no longer beads on the fabric surface or if the fabric appears dry and less supple.

No, this jacket requires professional cleaning only. Machine washing or dry cleaning will strip the protective wax coating, damage the fabric's integrity, and compromise its water and wind-resistant properties.

6 oz. waxed cotton refers to the weight per square yard of the cotton fabric, indicating a durable and substantial material. The cotton is impregnated with a specialized wax blend, which provides excellent water and wind resistance while maintaining a breathable quality.

The jacket offers several adjustable features for a personalized fit. You can adjust the throat-latch collar for neck protection, tighten or loosen the belted waist for a secure and flattering silhouette, and use the internal drawstring at the waist to further cinch or relax the fit around your torso.

The Belstaff Fieldmaster Jacket is designed with specific internal fastenings that allow it to snap into the Belstaff Icon gilet (sold separately). This feature enables you to easily integrate an additional layer for enhanced warmth in colder conditions without adding bulk or compromising the jacket's fit.

While the jacket provides excellent wind and water resistance, it is primarily a versatile outer layer. For very cold temperatures, layering is highly recommended. Utilizing its compatibility with the Belstaff Icon gilet or wearing appropriate insulating layers underneath will significantly enhance warmth.

The waxed cotton requires periodic re-waxing to maintain its water and wind-resistant properties. If water no longer beads on the fabric, it's time for reproofing. Consult a professional re-waxing service or use a specialized waxed cotton reproofing product according to its instructions.

Waxed cotton jackets can be stiff when new. Wear the jacket regularly to break it in; it will naturally soften and mold to your body over time. Ensure all adjustable elements like the belt and drawstring are set for comfortable movement, not overly tightened.

For small spots or superficial dirt, gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth and cold water. Do not use hot water, soap, or detergents, as these can strip the wax coating. For deeper or extensive cleaning, professional cleaning is required.

New waxed jackets can sometimes transfer a small amount of wax onto lighter fabrics or furniture. This is normal. To minimize this, you can air the jacket out for a few days before wearing or gently wipe the interior with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored items, especially in warm conditions.
