Taking Care of Your Waxed Garments Reproofing your garments is easier than you think and will restore them to just about a newly bought condition. 1. Cleaning Accumulated Dirt, Debris, or Residues Collect needed cleaning items: cold water and a sponge or soft cloth.Bring the garment to room temperature if stored in a colder area.Find a sturdy work surface (such as a table) and place a plastic sheet or table cloth over it for protection.Lay the jacket or trousers flat on the work surface. If it's a hat, just place it upright on the surface.Dip the sponge or cloth in cold water, squeeze out excess, and gently wipe down the garment.Go over the entire surface area to give a quick rinse, removing any dirt, debris, or residues trapped in the fabric. Particularly pay attention to get into any seams, creases, and areas of most wear and tear. 2. Applying Fresh Wax to Reproof Prepare wax that comes in a tin container, by placing the tin in a bowl or basin of water. Water needs to be hot enough to melt and soften into a smooth wax.Use a clean, sturdy work surface, covered with any needed protective plastic or tablecloth, and preferably in a well-ventilated area.Place the cleaned jacket or trousers flat and spread out on the work surface.Dip the sponge or soft cloth in the melted wax and work an even layer over the garment surface to provide a coat. Pay close attention to any seams and creases, worn-out areas, or areas that are drier.Make sure to cover the entire jacket or trousers and be careful not to apply wax over regular cloth surfaces, including the insides of pockets, any lining material, or corduroy used for collars, elbows, knees, and cuffs.Hang your garment in a warm place to dry thoroughly overnight.Extra tips: 1) Do not use the treated garment immediately to avoid spreading moist wax onto contact surfaces. 2) Use a hair-dryer in a low-heat setting and run over the newly waxed or reproofed garment to help speed up the drying process and settle the wax into an even coverage. Allow your elegance to effortlessly flourish. Our Victoria Jacket is clean-cut, yet undeniably stylish. Poppers on either side of the waist and each sleeve allow you to adjust the fit to suit you. A lightweight, showerproof jacket which looks smart but also casual enough to wear all year round, whether in the town or country. Authentically made in Britain using 100% quality waxed cotton. We have been manufacturing this garment for over 20 years and have perfected the manufacturing process to ensure practicality, durability and quality is maintained with every jacket. Waxed cotton has been around since the 15th century as a way for Scottish fishermen to waterproof their sails without affecting its efficiency. Back then, they used fish oils - different to the superior paraffin or natural beeswax-based wax we use today. Leftover pieces of cloth were used as capes to keep the fishermen dry. This evidently worked well, as waxed cotton is now a very popular fabric to use for jackets. We’ve designed our Victoria Jacket to maintain the standards every wax jacket should have. Vintage style with durability to last years. Your Victoria Jacket will be waterproof to protect your body while venturing out in the rain. It comes without padding to keep you lightweight - perfect for those mild spring and autumn days. During the winter, you can layer a jumper or gilet underneath to offer the extra warmth you might need. Available in Olive, Brown, Beige and Red. We offer a range of country clothing to combine with our Victoria Jacket so you can be kitted out and ready no matter the weather. Gilets, jumpers and hats available. One of the reasons why waxed jackets can last a lifetime is you are able to restore your jacket using our Waxed Cotton Dressing. Improving its longevity and waterproof capabilities - you’ll not need another jacket for a long time!
