    Campbell Cooper Waxed Jackets?

     This reply is a little late, but here goes anyway. Step 1 : I took the standard black Campbell Cooper jacket and put it thru the washing machine about 4 times on a 40 degree wash. This pretty much removed all the wax, plus it make the jacket a little more irregular in shape overall. Step...

    Wax Cotton Biker Style Jacket - Belstaff Mojave Style

    Here is my fantastic wax cotton motorcycle style jacket that was made up as a sample prior to a production run.

    barbour international

    Thought I'd add to this thread. I picked this International up on ebay last week for £130. It arrived looking like this; But I had to speed up the aging process - after a deep breath and a 'to hell with it' attitude I put it into the washing machine at 40 degrees, no soap. The result is great...

    Waxing A Cotton Jacket

    Here's my own vid of me waxing my Campbell Cooper jacket; I aged the jacket too by washing it a thousand times, that's how all the wax came out, so I rewaxed with a mix of 90% parrafin wax and 10% Beeswax. This video is the final stage. BEFORE AFTER

    Campbell Cooper Waxed Jackets?

    Thought I'd bump this thread back to life as I've just taken delivery of a Campbell Cooper Wax jacket - It cost me £58 delivered. Here's my review. I own a Belstaff Trialmaster and have looked very closely at the Barbour International too. Now, when you consider a Belstaff is going to cost...

    Wax Cotton Trialmaster Style Jacket

    As I have a bit of an obsession with Trialmaster jackets I've ended up commissioning my own made to measure version - sourcing the wax cotton here in the UK and using a factory in Karachi (which has made leather versions for me before) to put them together. I received my first samples this week...
