Setup
The Belstaff Fieldmaster Jacket is designed for immediate wear. To customize your fit, utilize the internal drawstring at the waist to cinch the jacket to your preference. The high collar features an adjustable throat latch; fasten this for maximum wind protection or leave it open for a more relaxed style. Ensure all press-stud fastenings and the main zip are secured for optimal weather protection.
Compatibility
This jacket is specifically designed to integrate with the Belstaff Icon Gilet (sold separately). The gilet can be snapped into the jacket for an additional layer of warmth, extending the jacket's utility into colder climates.
Care
Proper care is essential to maintain the unique properties and longevity of your waxed cotton jacket:
- Re-waxing: To ensure the jacket remains water and wind repellent, it is crucial to re-wax it periodically. The frequency depends on usage and exposure to elements; re-wax when you notice water no longer beads off the fabric. This process restores the protective coating.
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, dry clean, or use harsh detergents on your waxed cotton jacket. Machine washing will remove the wax coating and damage the fabric.
- Spot Cleaning: For general dirt or mud, allow it to dry and then brush it off. For stubborn marks, wipe with a damp cloth (cold water only) and a soft brush. Avoid using hot water, which can melt the wax.
- Storage: Store your jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and promote mildew.
