                    The Character of Waxed Cotton Fabric


Waxed cotton was born from the need for protection from the elements 200 years ago, the late twentieth century brought many advances in synthetic fabrics and finishes, yet this natural, traditional fabric still endures not only for its aesthetic appeal but for its impressive performance characteristics:

Strength: Waxed Cotton is a natural, breathable fabric, its renowned strength is undisputed having been tried and tested in 'the field'. While the base fabric provides a sturdy foundation, it's the treatment and the finish that make it not only weather-proof but world-proof - designed for some of the world's toughest environments.

Durability: Unlike some other materials, Waxed Cotton is built to last. When other garments have worn out, a waxed jacket will last a lifetime with proper care. Indeed, it's not uncommon for a cherished jacket to be passed on from generation to generation.

Character: Waxed Cotton garments get better with age. Much like their leather counterparts, a waxed jacket's character and appearance will change over time - becoming as unique as the wearer.

Windproof: While densely-woven cotton fibers provide a tough base material, the paraffin-wax treatment provides a formidable barrier from the elements, helping keep the worst weather at bay

Waterproof: Still serving its original purpose, our Waxed Cottons will keep the wearer dry - and, with care and attention, will continue to do so for years to come. For use in the most challenging of climates, we even produce an ultra-wax finish that will outperform many of its more modern rivals.
 




                 How to maintenance your waxed products:


Cleaning

Regular cleaning not only enhances the appearance of your garment but removes dust and dirt that can cause premature wear. Regular cleaning also prevents dirt build-up from becoming irremovable stains.

- REMOVE dried mud, sand and grit as soon as possible especially along inner sleeve seams, as these is abrasive.

- HOSE OFF or SPONGE WIPE with cold water only. If dirt is ground in, gently brush it off with a soft bristled brush and then rinse.

- HANG TO DRY naturally and completely for at least 24 hours in a dry, well-ventilated area.

- REPROOF the entire garment after cleaning.

DO NOT dry clean ? DO NOT machine wash ? DO NOT tumble dry (no dryer) ? DO NOT use soap or detergent of any kind ? DO NOT use solvents or bleach ? DO NOT iron or starch ? DO NOT force dry or expose to a direct flame ? DO NOT expose to direct sunlight for a long period of time (such as rear car window).
Doing any of these will damage or remove the proofing.


Reproofing
Most waxed cotton garments will need regular reproofing within a year if worn frequently, or even sooner if you notice that the coat is drying out due to exposure to the elements. Uneven, shiny or dry areas, or where moisture no longer beads, is a good indicator to reproof those specific areas. It is not necessary to reproof the entire garment unless it has been washed.
By reproofing your waxed cotton jacket, you can bring back its original water-resistant finish. On top of prolonging the life of your jacket, reproofing will also revive the fabric's colour and help to prevent holes from forming along the seams of your jacket. Garments can be brought to "as new" condition with an easy application of reproofing wax.

- Be sure that the garment is CLEAN and DRY. Lay it on a flat surface and apply the wax sparingly with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth.

- Try using a hair dryer to WARM the cream on the cloth and on the garment as you apply it. This will make the application easier and more uniform.

- SPREAD CREAM EVENLY, working it into the fabric in a circular motion. DO NOT coat the surface too thickly or it will not be able to absorb it all. Seams and worn areas will require more cream.

- WIPE OFF EXCESS cream and hang garment to dry overnight in a well-ventilated area.

- The next day, spread out any excess oil not absorbed. Apply more cream to areas that still appear shiny or dry.

Special Notes
Avoid contact between waxed cotton and pale-colour leather car seats. As a precaution only, we recommend that you do not wear garments on seats for the first couple of weeks after purchase or after reproofing. Once the natural weathering process begins, the garment will feel dryer and softer and it will then be safe to resume normal use.

How to Store Your Wax Cotton Garment
To ensure the longevity or your wax cotton coat or jacket, be sure to only store clean, perfectly dried reproof garments. Items stored not completely dried or stored in a humid area may very well develop mildew. Once stored, regularly inspect your garment for mildew or mildew-indicating smell to prevent damage from occurring to your garment. To store your coat or jacket:
- Hang it in a dry, cool and well-ventilated space, or fold and roll your garment for storage in a dry, cool and well-ventilated space.
