IHM-03 - Whipcord N1 Deck Jacket (Black & Olive)
-
I would recommend scotchgard over wax as far as that goes.
-
That reminds me of the deers appearing, during waxing a N1-H Deck Jacket.
Seee video on page 3.
Weatherproofing IHM-03 Whipcord Deck Jacket!
WAX:
The N1-H Deck Jacket is lined with reprocessed wool blanket.
The interlayer is an original 1940’s US Navy issued gear feature, a cotton ‘organdy’ wax coated layer, for wind proofing.
So during wax progress, wax will not concentrate into the lining. But you have to take care of the temperature.The IHM-03 has an additional interlining for increased wind resistance.
Before waxing , I would ask MR. G what material specs the interlining has.
I love my Babour Jackets. But have to retreat them once a year. Otherwise little holes appear in the folds.
I would prefer Fjäll Raven Wax. It´s "lighter" and not as sticky then Babour wax. It´s a piece of beeswax, normally used for a cotton/polyester Mix.SPRAY:
Granger's XT Waterproofer or Granger's Fabsil Gold (with silicone) work well on cotton.Best for me: Nikwax Cotton Proof
Not wash it in, spray it on the wet Deck Jacket and let it dry.
Still breathable, not to see and not to smell. -
Looking forward to get the "they are here" e-mail, it´s getting cold in Germany!
