Wax Jacket Repairs or Alterations

Just a handful of the vintage wax jackets that we use for our repairs! Making matching (or as close to as we physically can) repairs is an absolute must!

Take the time to look at our Wax Jacket repairs and alterations service! We have 12 years worth of extensive experience dealing with the 2 leading waxed cotton manufacturer’s in Europe, Halley Stevenson’s of Dundee, Scotland, and British Millerain, who have provided the majority of waxed cotton fabric to Belstaff and Barbour!

If you own a vintage Belstaff or Barbour, or any make of wax jacket for that matter, (our definition of vintage is from roughly 20 – 60 years old) then it can be repaired, using our extensive range of vintage jackets! We take unwearable jackets that are no longer wanted and take them to pieces to be recycled and used again on another jacket!

As an example, a Barbour Border in green from the 1980’s with a tear on the back. We can take some waxed cotton from another green Barbour Border from the 1980’s, fix the patch and make it match the original!
