Jacket re-waxing

[rudyistaken]

Hey all. I have a Freenote Rider Jacket as well as a Ten c m65 I am wanting to get rewaxed. Does anyone know a good place in Canada to get this done? Thanks in advance.

They are waxed jackets. “Someone” washed them so they are not waxed anymore.

Do it yourself. Just know it will be smelly, a little messy and be careful with the heat gun, likely best to do it in your garage or outside if practical. Works for any make about the same.

YIKES!!!

You may not have a washing machine left - and it's a fire hazard to put something like this in a dryer...YIKES INDEED!!!

All parties survived fine. I am just looking to get my jackets back to good

Cool. Good to hear. You can order the Filson wax pretty cheaply and it shouldn't take too much to get it on there again.

I have the same Freenote Cloth one as you, mine is black and I really like it.

I did my two old Barbour jackets a few years ago. Put the tin of wax in a pan of water (Bain Marie!) on very low heat on the stove to keep it melted. Quite relaxing really and I had a waterproof hand afterwards!
