How to Measure your Jacket Size

Why is it important?

Properly measuring yourself can ensure you get that perfect, solid fit expected from W&H.

How to and what you will need

You will need either:

- a measuring tape

- or a piece of string and a ruler

How to:

1) Keep your arms down by your side and wrap the measuring tape or piece of string beneath your arms around the fullest part of your chest.

2) Mark the spot where the two ends meet around your chest (ensure it is firmly wrapped around)

If you are using a measuring tape, note down the measurement in inches.

If you are using a string, straighten out the string that was wrapped around your chest and measure using the ruler.

If your measurement is in CM, you will have to convert it to inches (divide by 2.54).

Reproofing your garments is easier than you think and will restore them to just about a newly bought condition.

1. Cleaning Accumulated Dirt, Debris, or Residues

• Collect needed cleaning items: cold water and a sponge or soft cloth.
• Bring the garment to room temperature if stored in a colder area.
• Find a sturdy work surface (such as a table) and place a plastic sheet or table cloth over it for protection.
• Lay the jacket or trousers flat on the work surface. If it's a hat, just place it upright on the surface.
• Dip the sponge or cloth in cold water, squeeze out excess, and gently wipe down the garment.
• Go over the entire surface area to give a quick rinse, removing any dirt, debris, or residues trapped in the fabric. Particularly pay attention to get into any seams, creases, and areas of most wear and tear.

2. Applying Fresh Wax to Reproof

• Prepare wax that comes in a tin container by placing the tin in a bowl or basin of water. Water needs to be hot enough to melt and soften into a smooth wax.
• Use a clean, sturdy work surface, covered with any needed protective plastic or tablecloth, and preferably in a well-ventilated area.
• Place the cleaned jacket or trousers flat and spread out on the work surface.
• Dip the sponge or soft cloth in the melted wax and work an even layer over the garment surface to provide a coat. Pay close attention to any seams and creases, worn-out areas, or areas that are drier.
• Make sure to cover the entire jacket or trousers and be careful not to apply wax over regular cloth surfaces, including the insides of pockets, any lining material, or corduroy used for collars, elbows, knees, and cuffs.
• Hang your garment in a warm place to dry thoroughly overnight.
• Extra tips: 1) Do not use the treated garment immediately to avoid spreading moist wax onto contact surfaces. 2) Use a hair-dryer in a low-heat setting and run over the newly waxed or reproofed garment to help speed up the drying process and settle the wax into an even coverage.
