FAQs
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant due to its waxed cotton material, offering protection against light rain and drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged heavy downpours.
How do I reapply the wax?
You can reapply wax using a reproofing wax product specifically designed for waxed cotton garments. Gently warm the wax, apply it evenly with a lint-free cloth, and allow it to dry thoroughly.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for transitional weather. For colder conditions, layering with a warm sweater or fleece underneath is recommended. It is not insulated for extreme cold.
What is the fit like?
The jacket features a regular fit, designed for comfortable layering without being too tight or too loose.
How should I clean minor dirt?
For light dirt, use a soft brush to remove debris. If needed, a damp cloth with cold water can be used. Avoid soap and detergents, and never machine wash or dry clean.
Will the wax rub off on my car seat?
While some wax transfer can occur, especially in warm conditions, it is generally minimal once the wax has set. Placing a cloth or blanket on your car seat is a good precaution if you are concerned.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after storage
This is normal for waxed cotton. Wear the jacket to allow your body heat to soften the wax, or gently warm it by a radiator (not direct heat) before wearing.
Wax transfer onto other clothing
Ensure the jacket is fully dry and the wax is set. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored or delicate fabrics, especially in warm conditions. If transfer occurs, try spot cleaning the affected garment according to its care label.
Reduced water repellency
The waxed finish may need reapplication. Use a Filson-approved reproofing wax and follow the application instructions carefully. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before rewaxing.
Minor abrasion marks
These are often part of the natural patina of waxed cotton. For significant abrasions, consider professional reproofing services or applying a small amount of reproofing wax to the area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

Care:
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your waxed cotton jacket.
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean. Brush off dirt and debris with a soft brush. For stains, use cold water and a sponge. Allow the jacket to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Rewaxing: Over time, the wax finish may wear off. Rewaxing can be done periodically using Filson's recommended reproofing wax to restore water repellency and appearance. Follow the instructions on the wax product carefully, typically involving warming the wax and applying it evenly with a cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can prevent the fabric from breathing.
