REWAXING GARMENTS
FILSON 101: HOW TO REWAX A FILSON JACKET
Our waxed cotton clothing is built for years of rugged use in the great outdoors. When re-waxing is needed, use only Filson’s Original Oil Finish Wax. It has a proprietary blend of paraffin wax and softening oils that are an exact match for the original factory-applied waxed finish. Do not be tempted to use beeswax or other waxes, as they will not blend with the existing wax in the fabric, and do not create the surface tension required to maximize water resistance. Read More...
We no longer facilitate sending out rewax requests.
If your item needs repairs, please submit it to Filson before pursuing reproofing for a free warranty evaluation, visit our Repairs Page.
If you’d rather have your rewax job handled by the experts, we recommend New England Reproofers and their decades of experience. Please visit their website for a full list of services, including enzyme baths, cleaning services, and rewaxing. New England Reproofers does not offer repair services for Filson items.
