Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after cleaning.
This can happen if excess water remains. Allow the jacket to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. If stiffness persists, consider a light re-waxing.
Wax residue on other clothing.
This may occur during storage or if the jacket is exposed to heat. Ensure the jacket is stored correctly and consider a light wipe-down with a clean, dry cloth to remove any surface wax.
Loss of water repellency.
The waxed finish naturally wears over time. Re-apply a suitable wax product to the exterior of the jacket following the product's instructions to restore its water-resistant properties.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning. Spot clean any marks with cold water and a soft brush or sponge. Do not use soap or detergents, as they can strip the wax finish.
- Re-waxing: Over time, the jacket may lose some of its water-resistant properties. Periodic re-waxing with a specialized wax product will restore its performance. Follow the instructions on the re-waxing product carefully.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can cause the wax to sweat and mark other garments. Hanging is preferable.
- Repairs: Minor tears or damage can often be repaired by applying more wax to the area or seeking professional garment repair services specializing in waxed outerwear.
