1531.0. "Washing a wax jacket?" by KALE::ROBERTS () Fri Sep 20 1991 10:52
What's the best way to clean a wax jacket? In the one I have, there
are directions inside for how to scrub down the outside of it, but
nothing about washing the whole thing. There must be some way, right?
I mean you *sweat* inside there!!
The hjacket has a detachable hood, and I tried washing that the same
way I wash sweaters -- gentle cycle, mild soap. Might have been OK if
I hadn't inadvertently put it in the dryer along with the sweaters.
But I did, and although it didn't shrink or anything, the wax surface
is history.
Any ideas?

| I thinkl you can buy the beeswax and re-coat the hood.....I 've never
considered washing the inside....I think I would just get some dawn
or woolite and kinda handwash it and hose it down.

| If you're talking about a Barbour or something like it, I'm pretty sure
that it can be re-waxed. Barbour sells the wax for their coats. It may
or may not be compatible with the wax used by other companies.
This sort of problem is why I voted for Gore-Tex as soon as the piggy
bank could manage it! That and the *SMELL* of the Barbour coats. I
never could stomach that
