FAQs
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
The frequency depends on usage and climate, but typically every 1-3 years is recommended to maintain optimal water repellency.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The 6oz. waxed cotton provides good protection against moderate rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to very heavy downpours, additional waterproofing might be considered, but it's designed for reliable protection in typical wet weather conditions.
What kind of clothing can I wear underneath?
The jacket is designed to be versatile. It can be worn over a t-shirt, a sweater, or even a suit jacket, thanks to its cut and lining.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid plastic bags or airtight containers.
Is the lining removable?
No, the cotton twill lining featuring the Belstaff checked pattern is permanently fixed within the jacket.
What is the fit like?
The Ground jacket has a classic fit. It's designed to accommodate layers underneath without being overly baggy. Refer to the size guide for specific measurements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels sticky or waxy
This can happen in warm temperatures. Hang the jacket in a cool place for a few days. If excessive, a very light wipe with a clean cloth might help, but avoid removing too much wax.
Water repellency seems reduced
The jacket likely needs re-waxing. Follow the care instructions for re-applying a suitable wax.
Dirt or mud stains on the fabric
Use a damp sponge or soft brush to gently clean the affected area. Avoid harsh scrubbing or detergents.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there are no fabric snags. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a silicone lubricant specifically designed for zippers to the teeth.

Care Instructions for Waxed Cotton:
- Do Not Wash: Never machine wash or dry clean waxed cotton.
- Wipe Clean: Use a damp sponge or cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For stubborn stains, a soft brush can be used gently.
- Re-waxing: The jacket will need re-waxing periodically to maintain its water repellency. This is typically done every 1-3 years, depending on use. Use only Belstaff-approved wax or a similar high-quality wax.
- Drying: If the jacket becomes wet, hang it to dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can cause the wax to sweat.
