The Belstaff Ground Jacket in Dark Navy is designed for the discerning adult male seeking a blend of rugged durability and sophisticated style. Its primary benefit is providing instant warmth and reliable protection against water and wind, thanks to its 6oz. British Millerain waxed cotton construction. A potential caveat is that waxed cotton requires specific care to maintain its performance and appearance. Key features include a stylish corduroy collar, a signature Belstaff checked cotton twill lining, an angled chest pocket, and snap-adjustable cuffs with antique brass hardware.

The jacket is water-repellent due to its waxed cotton finish, making it suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproofing may be beneficial.
The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, re-waxing is recommended once a year, or when you notice a significant reduction in water repellency.
The jacket provides good wind protection and can be layered. For very cold conditions, adding a warm mid-layer, such as a jumper or fleece, is recommended for adequate insulation.
The corduroy collar adds an aesthetic detail and provides a softer, warmer feel around the neck compared to waxed cotton alone. It also helps to block out wind.
'6oz.' refers to the weight of the cotton fabric before waxing. British Millerain is a renowned manufacturer of high-quality waxed cotton, known for its durability and weather resistance.
The corduroy collar is integrated into the jacket's design and is not removable.
The lining should be cared for with the same gentle approach as the exterior. Avoid machine washing. Spot clean gently with a damp cloth if necessary, and allow to air dry completely.
This is normal for new waxed cotton. Wear the jacket regularly to break it in, or gently tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes to soften the wax.
This is often wax bloom, a natural process where the wax settles. It can be removed by wiping gently with a clean, dry cloth or by applying a light heat, such as from a hairdryer on a low setting, and then wiping.
The jacket needs to be re-waxed. Clean the jacket gently as per care instructions, allow it to dry completely, and then apply a suitable re-waxing product evenly.
Avoid harsh cleaning agents. For minor scuffs, try gentle rubbing with a soft cloth. For significant damage, professional re-waxing services may be required.
