Belstaff Fieldmaster Waxed Jacket - Black - Size UK 42

It depends on how frequently you wear the jacket and the conditions it's exposed to. Generally, re-waxing annually is recommended to maintain its water and wind-repellent qualities. You'll notice water no longer beads off as effectively when it's time.

No, machine washing, tumble drying, or dry cleaning will remove the wax coating and damage the fabric. Instead, wipe down any dirt with a damp cloth and cold water. For thorough cleaning, consult a specialist in waxed garment care.

The internal drawstring allows you to adjust the fit around your waist, cinching it in for a more tailored silhouette or loosening it for a relaxed feel and easier layering.

The waxed cotton provides excellent wind and water resistance. For colder winter temperatures, it's designed to be layered effectively over warm sweaters or fleeces, making it versatile for various climates. The corduroy linings also add a touch of warmth.

The jacket features storm-proof bellows pockets with dual press-stud closures. This design, combined with the waxed cotton fabric, helps prevent rain from entering and keeps your belongings secure and dry.

This refers to the weight of the cotton fabric before waxing. '6 oz.' indicates a medium-weight, durable cotton that is then treated with wax to make it water and wind-resistant, providing a good balance of protection and flexibility.

The tilted left chest pocket is a signature design element of Belstaff, originating from its motorcycle heritage. It was ergonomically positioned for easier access while riding, adding both historical authenticity and practical style.

This is a normal effect of wear. The waxed cotton needs to be re-waxed periodically to restore its water and wind-repellent properties. Use a high-quality wax dressing specifically designed for waxed cotton garments.

While waxed cotton can sometimes leave a slight residue, ensure the jacket is fully dry after getting wet and avoid storing it directly against light-colored fabrics for extended periods. A fresh re-waxing might also help settle the wax evenly.

Waxed cotton naturally has a certain stiffness, especially when new or in colder temperatures. Frequent wear will help it soften and conform to your body. Creases are also part of the jacket's character and can be gently smoothed out with warm hands or by hanging it in a warm environment.
