Caring for Classic Waxed Cotton
Check the care label before treating your jacket. For classic waxed cotton, clean the outside with cold water and a sponge; avoid soap, hot water and machine washing.
Soften the appropriate thornproof wax in a container of hot water. Work a thin layer into the outer fabric with a cloth or sponge, paying attention to seams and dry areas. Keep wax away from the lining, collar and pockets, and remove any excess.
Hang the jacket separately in a warm place and allow it to dry overnight. Re-wax as needed according to wear and the care label.
