Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a waxed garment, this jacket does not require 'setup' but does require consistent care to remain effective. Avoid folding the jacket for long periods to prevent creasing the wax coating. For cleaning, wipe down the exterior with a cold, damp sponge; never use soap, detergents, or chemical cleaners, as these will strip the wax. The jacket should be re-waxed periodically—typically once a year or more depending on frequency of use—to maintain its water-repellent properties. Always hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area to dry if it becomes damp, ensuring it is kept away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can melt the wax.
