Anyone ever wax their jacket or anything like that? I think I'm going to wax my jean jacket, just looking for advice or anything. It's the rainy season here now, but in northern california that still doesn't really justify a proper rain jacket, just a little modification to the jean jacket I've been wearing all summer.

I think I'm going to order a couple of bars of otter wax unless anyone suggests otherwise.

I have a pair of waxed jeans and a couple of waxed bags. I've been thinking about doing the same to my denim jacket. It's not super hard to do but it's pretty time consuming. As far as durability and rain resistance, waxing is awesome.

Same. I've had jeans and a bag. Never thought to do a denim jacket. I'm curious how the painting on works compared to rubbing it it. Painting would be way easier

fluffing up

Hm... I have a couple of waxed jackets but they came that way, and one of em I sent off to be re-waxed after a few years. Curious to see how it goes for you.

Looks like you can either do it with liquid wax as well, which looks a little more intense than the bar.

I did some shoes. Not too much. It does affect breathability

Ah christ, did I post the same video you'd already posted? What an ass. Sorry, haha...

EDIT: deleted vid for posterity.

I waxed some canvas boots once but I did kind of a shit job. I had a waxed jacket a while back that I loved but it got stolen. I think waxed canvas looks better than leather any day.

when i opened this thread i was thinking of this

This makes me think of Portlandia

Guys—I've been looking for a locally sourced mustache oil. Thoughts?

I live in Portland.
I wear an oil/waxed jacket all winter.
I have a beard...that I oil.

I am now depressed...

Hey at least you live in Portland

Haha I'm guilty of all of those, too—I just live in Portland South.

There are much worse things we could be doing.
