Thank you for taking time to make this video, it was very helpful. I have an old canvas jacket of an almost identical color that I just got dry cleaned, and now will be a good time to apply the wax to slow the build-up of dirt on the sleeves and back. Thank you again, cheers.

Holy balls, this is random as shit. I've been watching your F04 vids all week, and just searched out for this to wax my M65 field jacket, lol.

Easily the best how to wax a jacket video on KZread. Thanks for getting right down to it and not blabbing on about x,yz like every other youtuber. Great tips, i'll wax my tin coat tomorrow.

After waxing a few jackets using different types of wax, I found I really like the heat activated stuff over the bar. Actual application of the wax *feels* easier, even if it's not.

I believe this wax treatment will also extend the coats lifespan and make it more stain resistant.

That was awesome, thanks for taking the time to make and upload this video! Looks way better after the wax job too

Love it! Never stop being you Ox.

I really like the before and after part of the video and also the bit where you demonstrated why you should let the waxed garment cure. really well made and the coat looks awesome. reminds me almost of leather.

Thanks Ox!! Huge help as the otter wax doesn’t mention anything about heating in the instructions I had. Awesome to see you pop up when I was searching the how-to’s 😂

Brandon, thanks for the video. My barbour-like coat is in the dryer as we speak. You were very helpful. I used the Otter Wax fabric dressing, hoping to have good results as well.

I'm 7 and 1/2 minutes in, and I'm thinking about mailing my trenchcoat to YOU for the painstaking part haha!

Thank you so much for this video. I was making a waxed canvas bag and this helped immensely.

You can lanolize a wool coat that isn't repelling water well anymore. I use wool diaper covers, lanolin is the oil taken from sheep wool so the process is just adding that back into the wool. Which is necessary since I buy old wool sweaters and cut them up and sew them into covers. Usually by the time I get the sweaters they have been improperly washed and all the natural lanolin is gone.

I did this to two jackets. A lot of work but wow I am so happy with the results.

I subscribed for the fallout content and then came across this. Officially one of my favorite channels

Holy Cow! Huge fan of yours because of your Fallout videos, and I needed to seal my Carhatt jacket and your channel pops up, how crazy!

I've got a Cotton Barbour jacket that I've just waxed it for the first time, man its bloody hard work.

I can’t describe how surprised I was to find you had a video to answer the question of how to use otter wax on my new hunting cap. I mean, you cover everything from haberdashery to fallout.

I read a tutorial that used a hair dryer instead. Worked brilliantly and no danger of burning fabric.

You are a super huge nerd and thanks to that you made a great video. Thank you!

Thanks, your an excellent teacher. Your jacket looks great!

much prefer the darker colour. inwill definatly try this.

I love this video ! Thinking of trying it on my shoes. One question though, would a hot sunny day melt the wax off my shoes ?

What a quality, informative video.

an instruction video with great instructions. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. I found out about this product recently and it caught up my curiosity. All natural wax for clothes. I was already aware that most waxes that are meant for clothes are not natural but instead often include paraffin. It's not that those products aren't good, but I just don't think that we need as much chemicals and synthetic materials as we them use today. I'm not entirely convinced though that waxed jackets are truly as waterproof as they're claimed to be. I've never managed to make my factory-waxed Fjällraven jacket anywhere near waterproof, not even by applying more Greenland Wax to it. But it's waterproof enough for my purposes. It's just the heavy rain in low temperatures, below +10 celsius (or so) that I need to avoid. Above that it's warm enough even if the clothes get wet (and polyester/cotton mixture dries very fast once the rain stops). And once it gets below freezing point, waterproofing isn't required anymore. And the wax does make my jacket slightly water-repellent, just enough so that even when it's wet, it let's some moisture through, but clothes under the jacket never really get soaked. Now that I've found a natural wax for a jacket I just need to find a proper jacket that doesn't have any polyester/polyamide etc. And that's pretty hard. I like the looks of Barbour jackets but even those often have polyester or polyamide lining. Totally unneccessary if you ask me.

Here from the stream🎩I tip my hat to you sir keep up the good work!😃

Awesome tutorial...getting ready to sew a vest and will wax fabric

I really like the color after waxing :)

great tutorial, man. thanks.

Grate tutorial, i think its look much better with the wax

Thanks, I like your method

Very informative video, thanks!!

Thank-you for taking the time to inform & educate the rest of us by uploading this how to video. I have a couple questions. can you use bees wax? How about paste wax that comes in a tin such as butcher's wax? Will either of these work? The paste/butcher's wax in a tin, seems to make sense to me because it is relatively soft & easier to apply. Thanks in advance for any response & input on my questions. Also, as an after thought, doesn't the wax coat the inside of your dryer when you put the waxed jacket in & dry it? You mentioned something about a pillow case but I seemed to miss most of what you were saying. Cheers.

What the what? I watch your fallout vids.. Googled waxing a jacket and this comes up!

Awesome video , thanks so much. Is it at all possible to pre-melt in a pot and brush on instead of bar rub?

Wow thanks for this OX! 👀

Turned out great imo.

This jacket looks much better after waxing I think :-)

Great video as always, i watch a lot of your fallout videos and enjoy them very much, I know that this is an old video but may i ask how your coat is holding up nowadays is it still as just as waterproof or has the wax needed to be reapplied. thanks

Thank you for the tutorial Your great

Haha, so I was watching this just because I'm going to wax a jacket in the future not realizing it was you. All of a sudden I hear your voiceover and immediately think of Fallout. I checked the profile name REAL QUICK! 😂

Been along time fan of the lore videos. I start watching this and it took me half the video before I recognized the voice.

Good video! Thanks for all the info and help =)

ox...plz make more machinimas I miss you :(

is there a way to melt the wax, add some sort of metallic pigment to the wax, let the wax solidify again, and use that to coat denim jeans for a new look?

Ilike the pipes in the back grwn nice style

Hi! Do you have a long term review of this? Would you say it was worth it after all this time?

Have you tried to melt the wax and then apply it with the paint brush as you heat the coat

Thank you good big brother You r so nice guy god bless you.

do you think that is ok for leather shoes ??!! I think my desert boots would turn out amazing !!!

Could you put the jacket in the dryer before you start to wax?

Love your style and pipe collection. But maybe there's an easier and more durable way? For my Barbour jackets, this is the rewaxing procedure (granted it's rewaxing and not from the pure fabric): buy a tin of Barbour Wax, melt it in a pot of hot water, apply liberally with a cloth, wipe down with another clean cloth while using a hairdrier to ensure wax gets well into the fabric and stitching, and finally hang overnight in a warm place. Then it's protected and ready for wear. And the great thing about waxed jackets is that develop a nice individualised patina and look better with time. Ah, now I noticed Kris suggested same below - the Barbour rewaxing way does put on a lot of wax, but the after-wiping and hairdrier does remove the excess quite well.

Watching some vids on wax jackets and lo and behold, good ol' Oxhorn shows up! So now the question I have is how much lore do you have on waxed jackets?

I'd like to know why you could not melt the bar and then apply the wax with the brush? Great job though and thanks for taking the time. Nice pipe collection!

its awesone but i hope there is some easier way, how about melting the wax and applying it with a brush? Maybe mixed with some kind of thinning agent?

Or buy a tin of Barbour wax (Thornproof Dressing), dip the tin in boiling water to melt the wax and spread it over the jacket using a sponge. Remove the excess with a soft cloth and use a hair dryer to get a perfect finish. Takes less than an hour overall, so easy and quick to do.

Can I use a hair dryer to try to melt the wax on my cotton jacket? I don’t have a heat gun hanging around.

Wouldn't it work to put the wax in a small coffee can, place in a water bath to melt it (double boiler method), then paint brush it on?

I bought the canned otterwax and painted on the wax with a brush and then ironed it in and got great coverage but I put way to much wax on so now I'm trying to scrape it off

Beautiful video, man! Thank you!

I watch your fallout lore videos all the time. I had no idea this video existed. I just wanted to wax my denim.

I have a question, does the wax fabric wrinkle more or less than before? I have my eye on a jacket and some have said it wrinkles more than more trench coats (Yes, it's a Burberry selling second-hand often for 300, which in my mind is a deal since it also comes with a hood and a removeable liner). I wondering if waxing it would make the wrinkles a bit more manageable or worse or... maybe no impact at all. Also, I watched a Barbour video who says you shouldn't ever wash a waxed jacket because that you lose the base and can never re-wax again. DO you agree or disagree with that statement? I would hate if I could never ever do a deep wash. I know there may always be a little bit of wax remaining, but how could you do a deep clan that won't ruin the jacket or not allow a re-wax? Great video, by the way! We need more videos that have good explanations and visuals to how and why.

Heated tin of proofing wax? Might reduce elbow grease (pun intended) I still think you’d need the bar for seams. I’m inspired to brave the arm ache after watching this. I have a navy deck jacket that has been frankly disappointing in terms of wind and water resistance that I must try this with. I very much enjoyed your video, you have an excellent presentation style. Thank you.

Why would you need a bar for the seams? Wouldn't the liquid wax be better for these irregular places?

Thanks for the video. Did having your coat in the dryer not leave a wax residue, etc. inside the dryer cylinder? I just wax-coated a canvas backpack.

@angusmeigh5141

You have to place the coat inside a pillow case first and you also turn it inside out. If it is inside a pillow case it will not leave a residue on the inside of the drier. Also you can get away with just using a hair drier to melt the wax.

Excellent

hey there, Thanx for your video. I followed your instructions to the letter on my Carhartt jacket and the result is cool, but... my jacket feels very sticky/greasy. it's been a week now, I let it hang outside to dry. So far it doesn't help. Is it gonna get better? One thing though, I used a blow dryer extensively to melt the wax in the fabric but I didn't put it in the dryer since I like personally the uneven look. Would the dryer step help with diminishing the sticky feel of the jacket (really unpleasant I must say...) Thanx in advance for your help, greetings from Brussels Belgium

They also make a liquid in a can wax from I think otter wax, however 1 review claims not as good as solid wax.

How much would this damage your dryer as well as bleed into other clothing after the fact?

I believe that’s why he puts it in a pillow case.

How was the dryer afterwards? I have read not to put waxed cloths in a dryer as it risks ruining the dryer from the melted wax….

Already liked it, so here is a comment!

Do anyone know if you can wax a material made of a cotton and polymer blend.

Very smart move on getting a jacket that fits! That’s why I sew.

How bout liquid melted wax?dose it work?

You should have use wax dressing from otter. I’ve never seen anyone put theirs in the dryer

Melt the wax first and then apply with a rag or sponge. It’s much faster, easier, and produces better results.

Has anyone ever tried Nikwax cotton proof spray? It is a lot easier than using solid wac and has the dame results. But I dont think it lasts as long as solid wax and has to be re-applied every couple of month I think. Also what about waterproofing wool coats? I know nikwax makes a spray for fleece and wool called nikwax polartech. Has anyone tried that on wool coats? I have heard that Scotchguard works best on wool clothing.

Does Nikwax cotton spray contain wax?

Did the wax get in the lining?

cool video but i suggest barbour wax or filson wax less work , faster and better

A waxed coat from Burberry is more like $2-3000. They're pretty, but I'd rather have a car.

Awesome! How long does it last? I'm assuming to make a t-shirt completely waterproof, you'd have to do this to both the inside and outside, right? I'm going to Lake Tahoe and I'll be IN the water a lot (swimming, diving, etc.). And like to make one or two of my shirts waterproof so when I get out of the water my shirt is dry. Is that realistic?

@angusmeigh5141

Clothing worn next to the skin should not be waterproofed as that prevents it wicking moisture away from the body and leads to uncomfortable condensation build up. Only outer garments should be waterproofed. Because sweat has to move through under layers of clothing to keep you dry.

They are not very breathable. If you want a jacket to stay as breathable as possible them waterproof it with boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Used 50 per cent boiled lined oil mixed with 50 per cent mineral spirits and paint that on the jacket. Then hang it up to dry for about 72 hours. It should them be waterproof and very breathable. @@HDsharp

I recommend a hair dryer for those not confident with a heat gun. You’ll burn it before you even realize if you aren’t careful

Denim is cotton,so does this work with denim Jean's and jackets?

a couple of things, lots of hard and UN-neccessary work (in my opinion) why not melt your wax bars and add linseed oil, while it is still warm simply brush or paint it on, then dry it with a hair dryer on low heat(so not to scorch the fabric .......or a can of scotchguard (as used on lounge chairs) will do the job also and wont require heating (it won't last as long but you should get at least one season out of it then re-touch as needed), just my 2 cents worth thanks for sharing the video

@oxhorn

+brutalbrital Thanks! I chose to use the bar because the act of rubbing it in gets it in deeper into the fabric. This makes the wax last longer.

@krismargett

I believe that's what the hairdryer is for. It evens out the wax, as well as pushing the wax further into the fabric. Saying that, I've only ever REwaxed a jacket, never waxed from scratch... hence why I'm here. If you boil the wax by putting the wax in a tin, then the can in a saucepan, you can apply the wax with a sponge. If you've added too much wax in places, it spreads around when you use the hairdryer. Nice video set up though. cool decor.

Why you don't use barbour wax ? The method on barbour video seems much easier than yours.

You sure are doing that the hard way.

Cant I just melt the wax in a pot and brush it on with a paint brush?. . .

i tried before, it won't work as this wax gets solid quickly as soon as you dip the Brush in the pot or jar....

Wool does benefit from waxing. It gets very heavy when wet. If you ever run your hand over untreated sheep's wool, you'll find it is covered in lanolin. Guess what people used to waterproof clothing in ye open days? 😉

Why not melt down the wax & paint it on? Troops used need wax on their parade boots to harden them to enable glass-like Polish ( called 'bulling') and we would melt down & paint the beeswax on

Great man! The original instructions are shit! Re-done it with your instructiond and it way better! Think ill send and email to otterwax 🤣🤣🤣

Oh dear lord. There has to be an easier way to do this. How about a wax spray or melting the wax first? Once in liquid form the paint brush should make it much easier to apply,.

A lot of work for the same gains... Easier ways to wax a jacket without all that rubbing!! Nice finish tho well done..
