FAQs

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

Re-waxing frequency depends on use and exposure to elements. A good indicator is when water no longer beads on the surface. Generally, once a year or as needed is sufficient for maintaining optimal water resistance.

Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?

No, the jacket should only be spot cleaned. Machine washing can strip the wax finish and damage the fabric.

What kind of wax should I use for re-waxing?

Filson recommends using their own branded wax, or other specialized waxes designed for waxed cotton apparel. Ensure the wax is suitable for clothing.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is medium-weight and unlined, making it best for moderate temperatures or as an outer layer over insulating clothing in colder conditions.

How do I adjust the cuffs and hem?

Both the cuffs and the hem are adjustable using the provided press studs. Select the desired fit by fastening the studs accordingly.

What does 'unlined' mean for this jacket?

Unlined means there is no additional fabric layer sewn inside the jacket shell. The interior of the jacket is the back of the waxed cotton fabric itself, offering a more direct feel and lighter weight.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water resistance

The jacket may need to be re-waxed. Follow the care instructions for applying wax to restore its water-repellent properties.

Stains on the fabric

Attempt to spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.

Jacket feels stiff

This is common with waxed cotton. Wear the jacket regularly in different conditions to help break in the fabric.

Uneven wax distribution after re-application

Gently warm the jacket (e.g., with a hairdryer on a low setting or in a warm room) and use a soft cloth to evenly distribute the wax.
