How To Rewax A Belstaff Jacket | TUTORIAL #1

- This is a tutorial video for rewaxing a Belstaff wax cotton jacket. I used Belstaff wax in this video and my jacket is the Sammy Miller jacket, a variation of the classic Belstaff Trialmaster jacket that was worn by the motor cycle legend Sammy Miller. The process I have used in this video will work for any of Belstaff's wax cotton jackets, or any wax cotton jacket for that matter. I am aware that many people use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process but that's not something I do. In my opinion, this is not a process that should be rushed.

I realize that it is a number of years later, but yesterday I ordered what will be my first Belstaff jacket; I bought it used on Ebay, and it's waxed cotton. The model name is Imperial. I use Terrago to condition my jackets and I even re-coloured one using Terrago red. I'll be sure to buy Belstaff's wax. Thanks for the tutorial.
Nice! I love Belstaff jackets! My old Sammy Miller is still going strong! I think you’ll love yours when it arrives.
Did mine for the first time not long ago. Basically did mine the same way but also used a hair dryer to really melt the wax into the seams. After curing for 12 hours, I found parts of the jacket were still very greasy, I think I used too much wax starting off, so warmed it up gently with the hairdryer again and buffed the excess off with a clean microfiber cloth.
Nice! Yeah, using a hairdryer is a great way to get rid of any excess wax at the end.
Thanks mate!
Thanks for watching. Hope it helped
Tanks you form the video, but avoid EDM music on the background
Useful video thanks. Do you put wax on the logos on the arms?
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. I try not to get the wax onto the logo on the sleeve as it it will darken the logo, and make it harder to see. I like it to pop more on the sleeve. But it’s really a personal preference which you prefer to do.
I waxed my Belstaff Citymaster for the first time yesterday.
For some reason it was easier to wax than the Barbours that I've done.
The only thing I did differently was use 2 sponges, 1 to apply the wax and one to wipe away the excess wax.
The ancient Sammy Miller Belstaff I have was easy too.
Any ideas why the Belstaffs are easier than the Barbours ?
That’s so weird that the Belstaffs were easier to wax… only thing I can think of is maybe the way they are made, or treated in the beginning makes the wax easier to apply than on the Barbour. I would have thought it would be pretty much the same to wax either one. That’s a good move with the two sponges. Thanks for watching!
@@ronanhutchinson Cheers👍 The 2 sponge method is so simple I don't know why I never thought of it myself.
I’ll definitely try it next time
@@ronanhutchinson Since then I've rewaxed 3 barbour jackets with just the old sponges that had wax embedded it them.
I heated a sponge up, wiped it on the jacket, then spread it out evenly with kitchen roll.
Previously I'd over waxed the barbours and this method is so much simpler.
So I've binned the 2 sponges idea 😂
The Belstaffs are still easier to do though.
And I think the Barbour thornproof wax is easier to rewax than sylkoil.
hi! I have also a belstaff jacket and it's really sticky. If I apply this treatment will the stickiness go away? thank u!
Hi, that’s weird that it’s really sticky… normally when the wax is still a little wet, you might get a slight residue from it on your hands. But it waxy, not sticky. If there is something on your jacket that’s making it sticky waxing it might react strangely, or it might make it worse. Have you tried contacting Belstaff about it to see what they say? Sorry I’m not much help on this, but I’ve never heard of a wax cotton jacket getting sticky before. 😔
Is this the same process for re-waxing belstaff leather jackets.
Hi Robert. To be honest, I don't know. As far as I'm aware the process for re-waxing a leather Belstaff jacket is similar to doing a waxed cotton one. I don't know if it's the same wax you use though. But I'd imagine the application is much the same. I've never needed to re-wax any of my leather jackets though, so I'm just guessing. I would advise that you contact Belstaff customer care to ask them about it. I find that Belstaff are usually great at answering any queries like that. If you email them, they generally come back to you within 24 hours. Or you could call one of their retail stores. The staff there are generally very knowledgeable when it comes to how to care for your jacket. Sorry I can't give you a definite yes or no, but I hope this helps you.
NO ! Don't wax a LEATHER jacket - Use DUBBING ! It's the same stuff used on Equine leather saddles. You use exactly the same method of applying the dubbing as wax in this excellent informative film. Heat the dubbing first in hot water to soften it then apply it liberally with a cotton T Towel.
@@socmint83 dubbing?
@@psuarezfalken Dubbins are various leather-conditioning compounds used to maintain suppleness/prevent drying & cracking, increase water resistance and improve appearance. They contain various natural ingredients such as beeswax, mink oil and fish oil. One formulation is: 1 part pure beeswax (can be purchased in a solid bar), 1 part cocoa butter and 2 parts sweet almond oil - though there are many others with similar effects. The components are simply melted and mixed together under a moderate heat and then allowed to cool. A good way to do this do this in a Pyrex jug placed in a saucepan of hot water on the stovetop. Dubbin should be applied to the e.g. leather jacket (if dirty, cleaned with glycerine saddle soap, rinsed with a wet cloth and allowed to dry thoroughly beforehand) after having been heated to soften in order to penetrate the surface. The jacket can be gently warmed using a hairdryer to assist in the process. Start with the seams and spread from there using a small cloth saturated in the softened dubbin, until you achieved 100% coverage - including gussets, edges and interior panels such as collars & cuffs. The dubbin will also lubricate zips nicely. It's best done on a hot summer's day or in an artificially heated-up room. After hanging for a few hours in a cooler environment (overnight's good) wipe down with a clean, dry, soft cloth to remove any excess. Buff vigorously to a shine if desired. If you want to be really thorough and maximise the waterproofing effect, the whole process can be repeated a second time. I've found that dubbin is also great for polishing wooden furniture. There are various commercial preparations that'll work, but they'll probably be a bit more expensive.
Wax not hot enough? No hair dryer afterwards?
Hey Andy, yeah I've used the hair dryer method a few times. I'm not as much of a fan of it. Keeping the wax on the heat makes it easier, but in the old apartment that wasn't an option, so I had to reheat the wax a few times making the video.
@@ronanhutchinson I have Barbour jackets, the wax looks identical. I normally try the above methods. But last time i just rubbed the wax on with my fingers straight out of the tin. After application i used the hairdryer method, seemed to work out ok. Applying with fingers meant i could get right into the seems, and apply very thinly/ with control.
That's good. The hairdryer method is good for an even application. I just found it a bit finicky when I tried it.
@@ronanhutchinson I'm not a fan of the hairdryer method either👍
