I have an old English wax jacket that I almost threw out as it looked "tired & worn". But I decided to re-wax before I trashed it. This wax brought the jacket back to original looking condition. You just apply the wax by brushing it on the fabric & then take a blow dryer to melt it into the fabric. I gave it 2 coats of wax per instructions and it did take a few hours but was well worth it.

This works but it is bizarre to buy something for 15$ that shows up with a $10 price tag

Great for hats

2 years ago

Great for hiding sweat stains in hats. Some hats are really bad about showing sweat stains. This wax solves that problem. 1) Clean hat using a 'hat cage' in a dishwaher. 2) Air dry 3) Rub wax bar all over hat - it's going to look chalky/streaky/terrible. 4) Put the waxed hat on a shoe drying rack in your dryer. Run it on low for 15-20min. 5) Wax melts in evenly. Hat is now a half shade darker. Any sweat stains that the dishwasher didn't take out are now hidden. As a bonus the wax will also prevent sweat stains in the future.

Works well for waterproofing cotton.

3 years ago

Easy to use, excellent quality. This works for waxing regular cotton, you don't just need to use it with their proprietary fabric. I waxed a cotton jacket in order to have a light summer rain jacket and it works great. I am a small woman, so I was able to get away with using just one bar, but I'd recommend two bars if you are a regular sized adult and/or if you want to get fabric to a high level of water resistance.

Goodenough to improve regular jeans too!

2 years ago

lol Waterproofed my Wranglers. Used it first to re waterproof some snowboarding gear. Then used it on my Wrangler Jeans. Helps bring back color and improves durability. Way better and easier than starching but doesn't give the rigidness of starching. I hand rub it on then used a heat gun to melt wax in. Make sure to do in a ventilated area and it may set off fire alarms. Don't know the science behind it but it does (No I'm not burning the jeans). One bar goes a long way.

works great!

2 years ago

Used to waterproof my pants. It took me about 30 minutes to apply two coats, using a hairdryer to melt the wax. It worked great! It does make the pants stiffer, and it washes out in one wash, but it’s that’s to be expected.

Birthday present

I gave this to a friend as part of his birthday present, including a Fjallraven backpack. He lives in a tropical climate so I thought this would prove to be useful and he says it does!

Recommended for new Fjall Raven outerwear

1 year ago

Bought the wax to use on my Fjall Raven pants. When applied, it did keep rainwater from soaking into my pants. Applying it evenly takes a lot of practice. Watch videos on-line and be willing to spend some time with trial and error applications. It is very difficult to damage the pants while you determine how much wax is enough. I still wore rain pants when the rain got really heavy.

Easy, inexpensive, and amazing!

Easy to use and takes little effort with great results. A hairdryer, 20 minutes, and a bar of Greenland Wax and you can restore a jacket or make a regular jacket water repellant.
