FAQs
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
It's recommended to re-wax your jacket annually, or whenever you notice a significant decrease in its water repellency. Regular wear can also influence how often re-waxing is needed.
Can I wash my Belstaff waxed jacket?
No, never machine wash or dry clean your waxed cotton jacket. Cleaning should be done by sponging with cold water. Harsh detergents or machine cleaning will damage the wax coating and fabric.
What is the 'Belstaff check' lining?
The 'Belstaff check' is the signature tartan pattern found on the cotton twill lining of many Belstaff jackets, adding a distinctive heritage detail.
How do I store my waxed jacket?
Store your jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid plastic bags or containers, which can trap moisture and damage the wax.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, designed to protect against showers and moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear might be necessary.
What does '6 oz. cotton' refer to?
Ounce (oz.) refers to the weight of the fabric per square yard. 6 oz. cotton is a mid-weight fabric, offering a good balance of durability and comfort for waxing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or sticky
This is typical for new waxed cotton. Wear the jacket regularly to break it in. If excessive, gently iron over a cloth on a low setting or use a hairdryer on cool to help redistribute the wax.
Wax transfer to other clothing
Allow the jacket to cure fully after re-waxing. Avoid direct contact with light-colored fabrics until the wax has set. Initial transfers will decrease over time.
Loss of water repellency
Re-apply wax using a Belstaff-approved wax product. Follow the re-waxing instructions carefully for best results.
Jacket develops white marks (blooming)
This is crystallized wax and is normal. Gently warm the affected area with a hairdryer on a low setting or by ironing over a cloth to melt the wax back into the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care Instructions:
To maintain the water-repellency and integrity of your waxed cotton jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean. Clean the jacket using a sponge or a soft brush with cold water. For stubborn dirt, use a specific wax cotton cleaner. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Re-waxing: Over time, the wax coating will diminish. Re-wax the jacket annually, or as needed, using a Belstaff wax or a suitable alternative. Apply the wax evenly with a soft cloth, paying attention to seams and high-wear areas. Allow the jacket to dry completely, and then gently iron or use a hairdryer on a low setting to help the wax penetrate the fabric.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it tightly or storing it in plastic, as this can cause the wax to rub off or lead to mildew.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed as standalone outerwear. It is compatible with various underlayers, from t-shirts to heavier sweaters, depending on the weather.
Initial Wear:
New waxed cotton jackets may feel stiff and can sometimes transfer wax onto lighter clothing. This is normal and will lessen with wear and proper care. Wearing the jacket regularly will help break it in and mold it to your body.
