FAQs

How should I clean my Racemaster Jacket?

Do not machine wash or dry clean. Spot clean only with cold water and a clean cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized waxed cotton cleaner. Always air dry.

Is the Racemaster Jacket fully waterproof?

No, it is highly water-resistant thanks to its waxed cotton construction, offering excellent protection against light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

How often do I need to re-wax my jacket?

It's recommended to re-wax your jacket annually or more frequently if it's worn often or exposed to harsh weather conditions. Look for areas where the wax appears to have worn thin.

What is 6oz waxed cotton?

6oz refers to the weight of the cotton fabric per square yard, indicating a durable yet flexible material. 'Waxed' means the cotton has been impregnated with a wax coating, giving it water-resistant properties and a distinctive matte finish.

Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?

The Racemaster Jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather. For colder winter conditions, we recommend layering it over warm sweaters or fleeces to provide adequate insulation.

What does 'UK 50' size refer to?

UK 50 is a menswear size, generally corresponding to a chest measurement. We recommend consulting a detailed size chart for precise measurements to ensure the best fit.

Will the colour fade over time?

While the black colour is designed to be durable, some natural patina and subtle fading might occur over many years of wear and re-waxing, adding to the jacket's unique character.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or rigid.

This is normal for new waxed cotton. Wear the jacket frequently; it will soften and break in over time, molding to your body.

Water repellency seems to be diminishing.

This indicates the wax coating is wearing off. It's time to re-wax your jacket. Follow the re-waxing instructions carefully using a suitable reproofing wax.

Unpleasant odor developing in the jacket.

Waxed cotton jackets can develop an odor if stored improperly or if damp. Air out the jacket in a well-ventilated area. For persistent odors, spot clean gently with specific waxed cotton cleaner.

Zipper is difficult to move or sticking.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax (designed for metal zippers) to the teeth to improve movement.

White marks or 'bloom' on the fabric surface.

This is normal and often happens when the jacket is exposed to cold temperatures. Gently warm the area with a hairdryer on a low setting or a soft cloth to re-distribute the wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Upon receiving your Racemaster Jacket, try it on to ensure the UK 50 size provides a comfortable fit. Adjust the neck fastening to your preference, whether you prefer it open or secured for added warmth. The waxed cotton may feel slightly rigid at first, but it will soften and conform to your body with wear.

Compatibility

The jacket's classic black design makes it highly compatible with various wardrobes. Pair it with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look, or wear it over a shirt and chinos for a smart-casual ensemble. It's an excellent layering piece; consider wearing it over a thin sweater in cooler weather, or simply over a shirt during milder seasons.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the unique properties and longevity of your waxed cotton jacket.

  • Do Not Machine Wash: Machine washing will strip the wax coating and damage the fabric.
  • Spot Clean Only: For dirt or stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and cold water. For stubborn marks, use a specialized waxed cotton cleaning product.
  • Do Not Use Hot Water, Detergents, or Bleach: These can remove the wax and discolor the fabric.
  • Air Dry Only: Hang your jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
  • Re-wax Periodically: Over time, the wax coating will wear off, especially in high-wear areas. Re-waxing annually or as needed with a quality reproofing wax will restore its water resistance and appearance. > Info needed: Specific re-waxing product recommendations.
  • Store Properly: Hang your jacket on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain its shape.
