Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Merchant Wax Jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Always hang the jacket on a sturdy, broad-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and shoulders. Avoid plastic covers, as the fabric needs to breathe.
- Cleaning: Never wash the jacket in a washing machine or dry clean it, as this will strip the wax coating. Clean the surface by using a damp sponge and cold water only.
- Re-waxing: To maintain water resistance, apply Barbour wax dressing periodically when the fabric starts to look dry or loses its water-repellent properties.
- Compatibility: The jacket fits best over light to medium-weight layers. Given the structured cut, heavy thermal layers may feel tight in the sleeves or shoulders.
