FAQs
What is the best way to clean the Fern Waxed Jacket?
The jacket should not be machine washed or tumble dried. Clean it by sponging with a damp cloth and brushing off dry dirt. Avoid using detergents or excessive water.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Re-waxing frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. A general guideline is to re-wax annually or when you notice the fabric losing its water-repellency or its protective finish diminishes.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The waxed finish offers water-resistance, making it suitable for light rain and drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof garment might be more appropriate.
What kind of material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from heavyweight cotton with a waxed finish.
What does 'boxy fit' mean?
A boxy fit is a relaxed, straight cut that is not fitted at the waist. It provides comfort and ease of movement, making it ideal for layering.
Can I wear a thick sweater under this jacket?
Yes, the relaxed boxy fit is designed to accommodate layering, so you can comfortably wear thick knitwear underneath.
What is the length of the jacket?
The jacket has a length of 75cm.
Troubleshooting
Wax coating feels sticky or uneven.
This can happen in very warm conditions. Store the jacket in a cool place. If the issue persists, you may need to reproof the jacket following manufacturer guidelines.
Jacket loses its water-repellency.
The waxed finish may need to be replenished. Consider using a specialized wax-re-proofing product designed for waxed cotton garments. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Stains on the waxed surface.
For fresh stains, try to wipe them away gently with a damp cloth immediately. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive water, as they can damage the wax coating.
