FAQs

What is 50 Fili Wax fabric?

50 Fili Wax is C.P. Company's iconic fabric, a blend of nylon and cotton, treated with a semi-transparent, water-resistant synthetic coating that gives it a waxed effect. It offers excellent protection against the elements.

How should I clean the jacket to preserve the finish?

It's best to hand wash cold or machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

What does 'double garment dyed' mean?

This process involves dyeing the nylon and cotton fibers of the fabric in different colors separately before the garment is constructed. This creates unique tonal contrasts and depth, giving each piece a distinctive appearance.

Can I re-wax the jacket if the water resistance fades?

Yes, you can re-wax the jacket using a specialized fabric re-proofer or wax designed for technical outerwear. Always follow the product instructions carefully.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers good water resistance due to its coating and treatments, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproofing measures might be beneficial.

What is the fit of this jacket?

The jacket features a regular fit, designed to be comfortable and allow for layering underneath without being overly baggy.

Are the front pockets waterproof?

The front pockets are concealed with flap and snap button closure, offering protection against light moisture. They are not fully waterproof, so it's advisable to keep electronic devices in a waterproof pouch if heavy rain is expected.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

This can be a natural effect of the garment dyeing and waxing. Gently flex the fabric or wear the jacket to soften it. If necessary, a low-heat tumble dry can help.

Water resistance seems reduced.

The anti-drip treatment and waxing may diminish with wear. Consider applying a specialized fabric re-proofer or wax suitable for technical outerwear to restore its water-repellent properties. Follow product instructions carefully.

Uneven color or fading.

This is an intentional characteristic of the double garment dyeing process, creating unique tonal depth. If significant or undesirable fading occurs, consult care instructions for specific treatments, but be aware that some variation is normal.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
