Crafted from 6 oz British Millerain waxed cotton, it provides excellent wind and water resistance for transitional weather, though it requires periodic wax maintenance to retain its protective qualities over time.

FAQs

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will remove the protective wax finish and may damage the garment hardware.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

This depends on how often you wear it. Once every year or two is standard for casual wear, but you should re-wax sooner if water no longer beads on the surface.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy winter weather?

The Racemaster is a versatile mid-weight jacket. It is excellent for autumn and spring, but for deep winter, you may need to layer a sweater underneath.

What is the benefit of the corduroy collar?

The corduroy lining prevents the stiffer waxed cotton edges from irritating your neck during movement.

Does the fit run large or small?

The jacket features a regular fit, designed to accommodate light layering underneath while maintaining a streamlined silhouette.

Troubleshooting

The jacket feels stiff or creates white creases.

This is normal for high-quality waxed cotton. The stiffness will soften with wear, and creases are part of the 'patina' that gives the garment its character.

Water is starting to soak into the fabric instead of beading off.

The wax coating has likely worn down. Perform a full re-waxing of the garment to restore its weather-resistant barrier.

Zip feels difficult to operate.

Check the teeth for debris. You can gently rub a graphite pencil along the zip teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Racemaster is a "ready-to-wear" garment, but its longevity depends on proper maintenance. Do not dry clean or machine wash this jacket, as it will strip the technical waxes. To clean, use a damp cloth and cold water to wipe away dirt. If the jacket begins to dry out or loses its water-repellent properties, apply a branded wax treatment evenly across the surface using a soft cloth, then use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to help the wax absorb into the fibers. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing.
