IHJ-34 - Khaki Chino Chore Jacket

[zatenm]

What a sexy colour this fabric! Similar chino to the 707? Looks darker and richer but could be the lighting…

It's darker and richer.  Chinos made out of it, coming soon….

Sweet, thanks G!

I had to grab one at that price. Even if it doesn't work it's worth it. Gonna try waxing it and see how it turns out.

good call @gratefulmelon

Waxed sounds like a great idea. Be sure to show us how it turns out

Started waxing the jacket last night but didn't get finished. Bit of a learning curve since it's my first time. Think I've got the hang of it now and should finish this evening. I'll post pics when completed. It's taking the wax very well and totally changing the look and feel.

really interesting to see how this will turn out….

and just in case...

[gratefulmelon]

Here's a before and a couple after pics. Ran out of wax so I'm not finished yet but I'm really liking it so far.

The last pic is an unwaxed sleeve on top for comparison. I'll get better images when I'm done.

Thanks man. The pictures don't do it justice. I'll post  better pics when finished.

I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Feels like a totally different jacket now.

Looks like you have some excess wax build up. If you want more even coverage, put the jacket in an old bag you can close up and toss it in the dryer for about 20 minutes. Pull it while still hot, hang it up, pull it straight and let cool

@gratefulmelon that looks sick! I undertook the same project with an LC King chore jacket I had and I love the character it adds. Be prepared for compliments

Cheers!
