INFORMATION RELATING TO AVAILABLE WAX FINISHES / REPROOFING

From September 2022, we now have FIVE different wax dressings to choose from.

BASIC WAX FINISH (Wax 1)

First, we have to offer is a ‘BASIC’ Wax dressing which has little or no sticky / oily touch finish, this just depends on the character or make of Waxed Cotton, this will give a reasonable water resistant / repellent finish. (No Extra charge for this finish).

Silk-Oil Wax Finish (Wax 2)

The most popular, this finish does have a little sticky / oily touch which will settle down after a few wears / weeks, making this the ideal finish for a garment which is used for more outdoor than indoor use. This finish gives a very good water resistant / repellent finish!!  This finish wax dressing is used in the original manufacture of the waxed cotton fabric (supplied by Halley Stevenson’s of Dundee). (Extra charge of £5.00 + any % for size applies to this finish).

Fashion Wax Finish (Wax 3)

Here is a new finish introduced (Sept 22), this has been developed over a couple of years.   This finish of wax dressing is superb for people who require a waxed and darker look but don’t really want any sticky or oily residue, but will still give a basic water resistant / repellent finish!!, great for the modern wax jacket that did not originally have a noticeable waxy finish. (Extra charge of £5.00 + any % for size applies to this finish.

PLEASE NOTE THIS FINISH WILL ONLY BE APPLIED AT NIGEL’S DISCRETION, AS NOT ALL JACKETS WILL “TAKE” THIS FINISH PROPERLY. IF YOUR JACKET IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THIS FINISH, WE WILL REVERT BACK TO OUR DEFAULT FINISH, THE BASIC FINISH, AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED ACCORDINGLY.

Heavy Wax Finish (Wax 4)

This does exactly what it suggests!! This is a HEAVY wax dressing which is made and developed for people who want to wear their garment for outdoor use only, it does have a far more sticky and oily finish to the other finishes available, this will give as close to water-proof as is possible
(Extra charge of £10.00 + any % for size applies to finish. No guarantees apply).

Dry Wax Finish (Wax 5)

Dry wax is a new innovation in the production of wax jackets – it’s dry to the touch, so it doesn’t have that slightly wet feel of more traditional wax jackets. Unlike traditional waxes, dry wax is not compromised by room temperature – ensuring it’s durable, water resistant, stain resistant properties. This wax dressing does and will crack-up and will leave a used / antique look, but its water-resistant properties are not compromised in any way! 

This can be applied even if your garment was not originally a ‘DRY WAXED’ finish, most can have this applied if requested (T’s & C’s apply).

The usual way to apply is via a ‘Wax Bar’ which is very time consuming and can only be done by the owner of the item with no 3^rd party companies offering this service!! Here at WJC, we have developed a system to apply this wax in a Hot Liquid format!! No other company can or will offer this wax or service. (Extra charge of £10.00 + any % for size applies to this finish).

PLEASE NOTE THIS FINISH WILL ONLY BE APPLIED TO JACKETS THAT ORIGINALLY HAD A DRY WAX FINISH IN THE FIRST PLACE. IF YOUR JACKET IS NOT A DRY WAX FINISHED JACKET, WE WILL REVERT BACK TO OUR DEFAULT FINISH, THE SILK-OIL FINISH, AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED ACCORDINGLY (£5.00 INSTEAD OF £10.00 FOR THE FINISH).

IMPORTANT – WAX DRESSING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

No matter which wax dressing is applied, no guarantees whatsoever can be given towards the water repellence properties of the fabric/garment.
ALL fabric changes colour when a wax dressing is applies with the fabric significantly going darker in colour and appearance and will even look darker than when the item/garment was new!

100% Of wax dressings can and will have a small smell of ‘Paraffin’. All the wax finishes are applied by hand and are then placed in a special Hot Room for 48 Hrs. This allows the dressing to soak evenly throughout the fabric, this also reduces massively the sticky surface feel!
Which all other companies who offer a waxing service will get?

We do not offer any recommendation on which wax to use!! While we don’t mind offering a little advice, but no 2 wax jackets are the same and NO guarantees are given on the final finish on feel, look, smell(dressing) or stickiness!

TERMS & CONDITIONS

We DO NOT give estimates or quotations over the telephone, we only quote once we have seen the garment. If you want to send some pictures we can hopefully give a rough estimate for the works, please email us – waxit@waxjacketscleaned.co.uk

Please also be aware that not all stains can be removed, there are limitations with the gentle cleaning procedure but we endeavour to achieve the best results possible WITHOUT DAMAGING the garment.

Most come perfectly clean, but the garments will be clean and most importantly, “FULLY WEARABLE”.

We do NOT guarantee that your jacket or trousers will be 100% waterproof after reproofing.
But please say how you plan to use your garment/s as we will endeavour to get as close to waterproof as possible.

NO “new” WAXED COTTON IS GUARANTEED TO BE 100% WATERPROOF AFTER REPROOFING.

• Some garments can and will change colour slightly, some will change dramatically. Wax dressing is a neutral colour and has no dyes. Special finishes on modern wax cotton garment can never be replicated
• Wax jackets are an outdoor item of clothing. After the cleaning & re-waxing it is advisable NOT to wear indoors or in motor vehicles as the wax dressing will transfer on to other fabrics
• After the process some have more of a sticker finish than others, please see below for more details, but this will settle down after a short time of wearing 
• Your item will NOT come back NEW it will be returned cleaned and professionally re-waxed by hand
• Cleaned means we will get it as clean as possible, it is a gentle cleaning process so there are limitations
• In 95% of cases we get them perfectly clean, some stains may still be visible! But the garment will be clean and more importantly fully wearable 
• Please allow up-to 6 weeks from when WJC receive your items for them to be returned to you with the work required completed
