FAQs
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from heavyweight cotton with a waxed finish.
How should I clean the Fern Waxed Jacket?
Clean the jacket by wiping it with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning.
What does 'boxy fit' mean for this jacket?
A boxy fit is a looser, straighter cut that doesn't contour closely to the body, offering a relaxed silhouette and room for layering.
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The waxed finish provides protection against light rain and moisture. For prolonged or heavy downpours, additional waterproofing measures might be necessary.
What occasions is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for casual everyday wear during cooler seasons, such as commuting, weekend outings, and informal gatherings.
How do I know if I need to re-wax the jacket?
You may need to re-wax if the water repellency decreases or if the finish appears uneven or dull. This can typically be assessed by how water beads on the fabric.
What is the length of the jacket?
The jacket has a length of 75cm.
Troubleshooting
Wax residue on other clothing
This can happen if the jacket is new or has recently been re-waxed. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before wearing. If necessary, gently wipe down the interior lining with a dry cloth.
Stiff material after cleaning
Allow the jacket to air dry completely away from heat. The fabric should regain flexibility as it dries. Avoid harsh scrubbing during cleaning.
Reduced water repellency
The waxed finish may need reapplication. Purchase a specialized wax bar or spray for cotton outerwear and follow the product's instructions for re-waxing.
Uneven color or finish
This can occur naturally with waxed cotton. For significant issues, consider a professional re-waxing service or carefully apply a matching wax product following manufacturer guidelines.

Care Instructions:
Due to the waxed finish, specific care is recommended to maintain the jacket's integrity:
- Cleaning: Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning. Clean the jacket by wiping it with a damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn stains, use a small amount of mild soap with cold water and wipe clean.
- Re-waxing: Over time, the waxed finish may diminish. Re-waxing can be done periodically using a specialized wax product designed for cotton garments. Follow the wax product's instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or storing in plastic, as this can cause the wax to rub off or the fabric to perspire.
- Avoid Heat: Do not expose the jacket to direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can damage the wax coating.
