Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after purchase.
This is normal for a new waxed jacket. Wear it regularly to break it in, or consult specific guides on softening waxed cotton.
Wax residue on other clothing.
Ensure the jacket is fully dry before wearing or storing. If residue occurs, gently brush it off or use a specific cleaner for waxed fabrics.
Loss of water resistance.
The waxed finish may need reapplication after prolonged use. Consider a professional re-waxing service or a DIY kit specifically designed for waxed cotton garments.
Minor scuffs or marks on the surface.
Small marks can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more significant marks, consult care instructions for waxed cotton or professional cleaning.
