FAQs
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
No, washing machine cycles will permanently remove the wax coating and damage the garment.
How often does it need to be re-waxed?
Frequency depends on usage, but typically once a year is recommended for someone who wears the jacket regularly.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy winter?
The Donnington is designed for transitional weather; you may need to layer underneath for colder winter temperatures.
Does the sizing run true?
The jacket follows standard women's sizing, but it is recommended to size up if you intend to wear thick sweaters underneath.
Can I use hair dryers or heaters to dry the jacket?
No, avoid extreme heat sources as they can cause the wax to melt unevenly or transfer to the lining.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels dry or is absorbing water
The jacket needs to be re-waxed to restore its water-repellent properties.
Dirt or mud spots on the surface
Wait for the mud to dry and brush it off; wipe remaining residue with a cold, damp cloth.
Wax transfer to clothing or furniture
Avoid contact with sensitive fabrics if the jacket is freshly waxed or stored in a warm room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the wax coating, this jacket should never be cleaned in a washing machine or dry-cleaned, as this will strip the wax and ruin the fabric. To clean, use a damp cloth and cold water to wipe away dirt. If the jacket begins to dry out or loses its water-repellent properties, apply a fresh coat of wax following the manufacturer's specific rewaxing instructions. Store the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources, which can cause the wax to melt or transfer. Avoid keeping it in plastic bags, as this can lead to mold.
