Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the oil-finish treatment, this jacket requires specific care to retain its performance. Never dry clean or machine wash the garment, as these processes strip away the protective waxes. To clean, brush off dried mud or debris; for stubborn stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap (if absolutely necessary), then allow it to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Periodically, the jacket will require a fresh coat of Filson Oil Finish Wax. Apply the wax to the exterior fabric and use a hair dryer or heat gun to help the wax absorb into the cotton fibers. The jacket is designed to be worn over standard base layers and mid-layers, providing a protective outer barrier.
