The tin that keeps a wax jacket alive. Rub it into worn seams, thin shoulders, and dry cuffs, then work it in with a hair dryer or a warm cloth until the fibres drink it back. One re-proof every three to five years and the coat that has been in the family for a decade keeps shedding rain like it did the day it came home.

How To Re-Proof

  • Stand the tin in a bowl of hot water for ten minutes until the wax loosens.
  • Apply with a clean cloth in small circles, working extra into seams, elbows, and cuffs.
  • Warm the finished coat with a hair dryer to melt the wax evenly into the weave.
