FAQs
Is the Belstaff Ground Jacket truly waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent due to its waxed cotton finish, providing protection against light rain and showers. It is not designed to be fully waterproof under prolonged heavy downpours.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, re-waxing is recommended annually or when you notice a reduction in water repellency.
Can I wear this jacket in very hot weather?
While the jacket offers protection, waxed cotton can be less breathable than other materials, which might make it feel warm in high temperatures.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store the jacket on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its shape and the integrity of the wax finish.
Does the jacket come in other colors?
Yes, the Belstaff Ground Jacket is available in a range of colors including blue and green, in addition to black.
How do I adjust the cuffs?
The cuffs are adjusted using the antique brass snaps. You can fasten them to the tighter setting for a snugger fit or leave them looser.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to be losing water repellency.
The jacket may need to be re-waxed. Consult the care instructions for proper re-waxing procedures.
Surface wax feels sticky or transfers to other clothing.
This can happen in very warm temperatures. Try storing the jacket in a cooler environment. A light application of talcum powder (away from the lining) can help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Dirt or stains on the jacket.
Gently brush off dry dirt. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with cold water and mild soap, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Lining has a crease or fold.
Iron the lining on a low heat setting with a protective cloth placed between the iron and the fabric. Avoid ironing the waxed exterior.
