PRODUCT/FABRIC

How do I clean my waxed jacket?

Please see our Product Care page for instructions on how to clean your waxed jacket.

Can you wash a waxed jacket?

No, we do not recommend putting your waxed jacket in the wash unless you want to get rid of the wax coating! There are better ways of cleaning your wax jacket, please see our Product Care page for more details or get in touch if you have any further questions.

Are waxed jackets waterproof?

The properties of waxed cotton means that the fabric itself is extremely water resistant and will repel water with ease. However, the jackets are not completely waterproof, in heavy downpours water can come in through seams if they do not have a lot of wax on them. If you get your jacket re-waxed often this will maintain the water resistant properties.

What does it mean to ‘re-wax’ a John Partridge jacket?

Re-waxing is the process of adding a new layer of wax to the outer fabric of your waxed jacket, this keeps your jacket looking new and makes sure all of the properties of waxed fabric. You can do this yourself, please see our step by step guide here

How often do I need to get my jacket re-waxed?

It depends on how much you wear your waxed jacket, but to ensure the wax coating is maintained we would recommend re-waxing your jacket every year to make sure it keeps its water resistant qualities.

How long does a waxed jacket last for?

Waxed jackets can last you a lifetime if well maintained and looked after correctly. Please see our Product Care page for more information on how to prolong the life of your jacket.

How should I store my waxed jacket?

We recommend that you hang your waxed jacket in a cool dry place.

Where does your wax fabric come from?

Sourced in the UK, we buy all of our waxed cottons from premium mills in Scotland, such as Halley Stevensons.

What is the difference between your lightweight and classic wax jacket?

Our lightweight jackets use a ‘thinner’ waxed cotton fabric, they are more comfortable to wear in warmer weather, with all the functional benefits of our classic wax. Our lightweight jackets still offer similar protection from the wind and the rain.

What does ‘quilted jacket’ mean?

A quilted jacket is a style of jacket that combines at least two layers of fabric, it can be one layer of outer fabric stitched together with a layer of polyester wadding or the polyester wadding can be sandwiched between two layers of fabric. Quilting refers to the stitching detail that attaches the layers together. This can be decorative or straight, we tend to use a traditional diamond quilt pattern as this is a classic look. John Partridge works closely with quilting plants in the UK, please see Sunbeam Quilting for more information on how our quilting is created.

What is a shooting jacket?
