Product Information
Full details
The Hoggs of Fife Waxed Waistcoat is designed for adults who require reliable, rugged outerwear for outdoor activities such as farming, riding, or countryside rambling. Its primary benefit is a combination of durable weather protection provided by the 420gsm Cupra wax outer and internal warmth from the quilted tartan lining, though users should note that the traditional waxed finish requires periodic maintenance to remain fully waterproof.

FAQs
Can I put this waistcoat in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing, dry cleaning, or using hot water will permanently remove the wax coating and ruin the waterproof properties of the garment.
How do I know when to re-wax the waistcoat?
When water stops beading on the surface of the fabric or if the cotton starts to look dry and pale in high-friction areas, it is time to re-apply wax.
Is the waist fit adjustable?
The fit is designed to be comfortable for layering, but there are no internal drawstrings; it is best to check the size chart to ensure the correct fit for your build.
What is the weight of the outer fabric?
The outer fabric uses a durable 420gsm Cupra wax, which is a heavyweight, high-quality cotton designed for rugged use.
Where is this product made?
This garment is manufactured in Dundee, UK.
Can I wear this in the summer?
While the quilted lining provides warmth, it can be worn in milder weather if left unzipped; however, it is primarily intended for autumn, winter, and early spring use.
Troubleshooting
Garment losing water-repellency
Re-wax the outer cotton shell using a compatible wax dressing, then use a hairdryer on a low setting to seal it.
Surface dirt and mud
Allow mud to dry and brush it off; for stubborn marks, wipe gently with a damp sponge using cold water only.
Stiff zippers
Apply a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the brass teeth of the zip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your waistcoat lasts, avoid exposing it to heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the wax coating. Cleaning should be done strictly by sponging off dirt with cold, clean water; never use soap or detergents as these will damage the wax barrier. If the garment starts to lose its water-repellent properties, apply a high-quality wax dressing to the fabric and use a hairdryer to evenly distribute the wax. Store the waistcoat in a cool, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew and ensure the garment is completely dry before long-term storage.
