WAX JACKETS

We meticulously inspect every garment by hand using time-honored techniques. Each item undergoes a rigorous detailing process before we apply wax and subject it to double-heat treatment, guaranteeing a superior finish.

WHY DRY-CLEANING OR WASHING IS NOT RECOMMENDED

If you have ever looked on the internet for wax jacket cleaning you will have seen countless forum discussions about not washing or dry cleaning. This is because re-waxing and reproofing is a specialist job since a wax jacket cannot be dry cleaned in the normal way, and washing with detergents will ruin the wax and proofing.

Due to the nature of these items, wax jacket treatment should only be undertaken by a specialist.

We take care in cleaning your wax jackets to the highest standards before beginning the re-waxing service, which is entirely applied by hand.

HOW WE CLEAN & RE-WAX YOUR JACKET

When we receive your wax jacket, it is checked all over before the old layer of wax is removed and is then thoroughly cleaned. Once cleaned, a fresh layer of wax is evenly applied to the garment, taking great care to avoid the collar, zips and other fastenings before it is re-proofed. It is the re-proofing that ensures the wax is watertight.

The first thing you will notice when you receive your wax jacket back is that the colour brightness has been restored to its original condition; it will look as good as new. Your jacket will now be beautifully protected from grime and dirt because the wax traps it and prevents any muck from penetrating into the fabric. The wax also protects the fabric from sunlight.
