Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Belstaff Fieldmaster Waxed Jacket arrives ready to wear. No specific setup is required. You may wish to adjust the belted waist and internal drawstring to achieve your preferred fit right away.
Compatibility
- Layering: The jacket is designed to accommodate layering underneath. Its robust outer shell makes it suitable for various weather conditions when paired with appropriate base and mid-layers.
- Belstaff Icon Gilet: This jacket is specifically designed to snap into the Belstaff Icon gilet (sold separately), offering an integrated solution for additional warmth in colder climates.
Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's water and wind-resistant properties and extend its lifespan.
- Cleaning: The jacket's shell is 100% cotton, and the sleeve lining is 100% viscose. It requires professional cleaning only. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean conventionally, as this can strip the wax coating and damage the fabric.
- Rewaxing: Over time, the waxed cotton will naturally lose some of its water and wind repellency. To restore these protective qualities, the jacket must be rewaxed periodically. Belstaff offers specific wax dressings for this purpose. Follow the rewaxing instructions provided with the wax product carefully, or seek professional rewaxing services.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can affect the wax finish.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt, gently wipe with a damp cloth and cold water. Avoid rubbing aggressively, which could remove the wax. Allow to air dry naturally.
