Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jacket uses traditional waxed cotton, proper care is essential to extend its lifespan. Never clean the jacket using harsh chemicals or laundry detergents, as these will strip the protective wax. To clean, use a damp cloth and cold water only, gently wiping away any dirt. To maintain its water-repellent performance, the jacket should be re-waxed annually or whenever the fabric starts to look dry or loses its sheen. Store the garment in a cool, dry place and ensure it is not stored in plastic bags, as the material needs to breathe. Be aware that the wax can sometimes transfer to other surfaces when the jacket is new or freshly re-waxed, so avoid contact with light-colored upholstery.
