FAQs

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental exposure. A general guideline is once a year or when you notice a significant decrease in water repellency.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can strip the wax finish and damage the cotton fabric.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Spot clean with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or stain removal, consult a professional cleaner specializing in waxed clothing.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is medium-weight and unlined, making it best for mild to cool weather. For colder conditions, it is designed to be layered with warmer garments underneath.

What does 'unlined' mean for this jacket?

Unlined means there is no additional fabric sewn into the interior of the jacket, apart from the main cotton shell. This provides a lighter feel and better breathability.

How do I adjust the cuffs and hem?

Both the cuffs and hem feature snap buttons. You can adjust the fit by selecting different snap positions to tighten or loosen the fit around your wrists and waist.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water resistance

The jacket requires re-waxing. Apply a suitable wax product evenly to the fabric according to the product's instructions.

Fabric feels stiff or sticky

This can occur after extensive use or improper storage. Re-waxing may help, or allow it to air out in a temperate environment.

Minor dirt or stains on the surface

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional cleaner experienced with waxed garments.

Wax transfer onto other items

Ensure the jacket is fully cured after re-waxing. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored or delicate materials until the wax has set.
