FAQs

Is the jacket truly waterproof?

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.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

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.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

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.

What is the purpose of the corduroy collar?

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.

What does '6oz. British Millerain waxed cotton' mean?

'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.

Can I remove the corduroy collar?

The corduroy collar is integrated into the jacket's design and is not removable.

What are the cleaning instructions for the lining?

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.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff

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.

White residue on jacket surface

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.

Reduced water repellency

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.

Damage to waxed finish

Avoid harsh cleaning agents. For minor scuffs, try gentle rubbing with a soft cloth. For significant damage, professional re-waxing services may be required.

Compatibility:

The Belstaff Ground Jacket is designed for adult males. It can be layered over various clothing types, from t-shirts to suits, making it highly versatile.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Sponge down with cold water using a damp cloth or sponge. Never use soap or solvents, as this will damage the wax finish.
  • Re-waxing: Over time, the jacket may require re-waxing to maintain its water-repellent properties. Use a specialized wax or balm specifically designed for waxed cotton garments.
  • Storage: Hang the jacket on a wooden hanger in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can cause the wax to sweat and attract mildew.
