Troubleshooting
Wax residue on other clothing
This can happen with new or heavily waxed items. Allow the jacket to air out completely before wearing it with lighter colored items. Gently wipe any excess wax with a clean cloth.
Loss of water repellency
The waxed finish may naturally diminish over time. Consider re-waxing the garment using a suitable wax product specifically designed for clothing. Follow product instructions carefully.
Stiff material after cleaning
Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. If the jacket becomes stiff after cleaning, gentle brushing or wearing it can help soften the fabric. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.
