IHJ-34 - Khaki Chino Chore Jacket

[gratefulmelon]

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...

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.

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!

Thanks for the comments and advice. I saw a video online about the dryer thing. Probably try that tonight.

Incidentally, I always thought this jacket was a little too heritage for my liking but you really show how versatile this piece is.

I enjoyed all @rocket posted photos today. He posted awesome fit pics in nearly every product thread IH has. Haha. He owns one of everything it seems and looks great in all of it. I always get good ideas from his combos. Thanks rocket. Well done!

Edit I think I'll throw this post in the random love thread also.
