How to wax a jacket with your own hands
After reading that the so-called waxed jackets are processed using a special technology that retains heat and does not get wet, I decided to stop at this option. I chose a stylish and expensive jacket, everything is fine, cut, design, warm and cozy. But the colored cuffs on the sleeves quickly got dirty, you know, these places are the first to darken. I decided to wash it, chose a gentle wash, carefully hung it up. In general, I handled it carefully, but then news awaited me. Wax, that is, the waxed coating was washed off! I did not expect such a turn, whatever one may say, it is still necessary to wash the jacket, but it turns out that an important component disappears. Anyone in the same situation, don't despair! I quickly found a solution, everything is simple and easy.
Of course, I was very upset and began to look for options on how to return the jacket to its original form. Firstly, it will be needed anyway, because I will wash it more than once. Secondly, the jacket is really comfortable and beautiful, I did not want to part with it. I started watching videos on Youtube, looking for articles, and there were not so many options that attracted my attention with their simplicity and good results.
I bought wax, it is inexpensive, you can take any - paraffin or natural.
So, I'll tell you how I acted. We will need: a jar of wax, a lint-free cotton cloth, a hair dryer and a little patience.
Rules for waxing a jacket at home
- We take a clean jacket. Of course, it should be as clean as possible, any lint will interfere with waxing. After washing, I cleaned the jacket with a roller and a sponge;
- It is best to process the jacket on the floor, well, or on the table if you have one and it is large enough. In my case, the table is only a small kitchen table, so I wiped the floor and put my jacket on it;
- Wax needs to be heated, I took a bowl, filled it with warm water and put a jar there;
- The main thing is not to rush and wait until the wax becomes more liquid and transparent, after that you can get to work;
- Next, we begin the waxing process itself, apply wax to the entire surface of the jacket with a cotton cloth. It is not so difficult to apply wax evenly, you can immediately see where it is and where it is not. Rub all stains, do not forget about the places near the pockets, collar, under the collar, maybe there is a hood on your jacket. In general, carefully go over the entire jacket so that there are no stains after drying.
- You can dry the jacket with a hair dryer both during application and after. I began to dry the wax gradually in all places where I had already applied it. So it is better absorbed, and it will take less time to dry;
- If suddenly after drying you notice untreated places, it's okay, the process can be repeated. In the reviews, some even recommended a second treatment after drying, but I managed with one layer, it turned out to be quite enough;
- After everything has evenly applied and dried, hang the jacket in the closet, but so that there is no contact with other things. You can hang it on a hanger, in general, anywhere, where it will hang for at least two hours, without leaning against anything;
- I hung up the jacket all night, so it will be more reliable, apply in the evening, and put it on in the morning. I read some articles where they write that after waxing, the jacket should not be leaned against a dirty surface and against the seats in the car for about a week, a trace may remain or the pile may stick. By my own example, I can say that I put on a jacket a day later, there were no traces of the seat.
Just one day, or even less, and my jacket became like new again, Much more interesting and safer than dry cleaners, where one of my acquaintances simply discolored the jacket, cursed with them for a long time, and could not prove anything. I wash and wax at home, and everything turns out as I wanted. A month has passed for me, everything is in order, the wax protects from water and wind.
They write that waxing is necessary every six months or even once a year. I think it depends on the frequency of washings, mine does not need an update yet. Try it, don't be afraid, you will definitely succeed. The main thing is to follow the rules, then the process and the result will bring pleasure.
This article is written to help the customers of our store. MagicRain is not a factory, we do not sew. MagicRain is an online retail store for stylish backpacks.
Everyone knows that backpacks and bags are fabric and leather. We wrote about leather in the article Eco-leather or faux leather backpacks? Understanding
In this article we will talkabout fabric backpacksand try to figure out what fabrics modern textile backpacks are sewn from. Based on the questions that we often hear from buyers, not all of them do not fully understand what is meant by this or that name of the material from which the backpack is sewn. Not everyone understands which fabrics are natural and which are synthetic, especially since the modern textile and chemical industries work wonders.
The important thing is that
It should be noted that all modern factory-made fabrics, regardless of whether they are natural or synthetic, are moisture resistant. Synthetic have this property by default, all natural are subjected to special processing.
The recent trend in the search for bags and backpacks made from natural fabrics can be called "
buy backpack canvas", "buy a canvas backpack".
Unfortunately, not everyone fully understands what a canvas is and refuse to buy if this word is not mentioned in the product description. In addition, the English version of this word introduces great confusion into the concept of "canvas". English wordscanvas, canvas, tarpaulin, linen, burlap
denoted by one wordcanvas
.
About the fabric that is really calledCANVAS- read below.
WHAT IS CANVAS?
Canvas- this is not any one fabric from any one material.Canvas is a fabric with plain (that is, perpendicular with alternating overlaps through one thread) weave of threads . Canvas can be either natural or synthetic materials. Depending on the raw materials from which the threads are woven, the canvas may have a different structure and color.
The following is a brief description of the fabrics that can rightfully be classified as "Canvas". Each of these fabrics has its own name and consumer qualities.
NATURAL FABRICS
LINEN -
(linen) - natural fabric with plain weave. Hygroscopic, hypoallergenic, breathable (“breathes”), durable, but tends to wrinkle and shrink when washed at high temperatures.
COTTON- (cotton) - natural eco-friendly fabric with plain weave. It is breathable, hypoallergenic, pleasant to the touch, absorbs moisture well, does not electrify.
JUTE- (jute) - natural fabric with plain weave. Its main advantage is durability under high regular loads. The cloth is a little subject to attrition, porous, not dense, perfectly passes air.
SACKCLOTH -
- (sackcloth) - natural fabric with plain weave. It is produced from thick yarn with plain weave. Yarn for burlap is made from fibers of jute, kenaf, rope, hemp. Very strong, durable fabric. Passes air, well painted.CANVAS, TARP - (canvas) is a dense fabric made from natural fibers of flax, cotton, jute. Wear-resistant, practical and easy-to-use fabric. It is resistant to stretching, compression, friction, torsion, bending, washing, dry cleaning. Canvas impregnated with refractory or water-repellent and anti-rotten compounds is called tarpaulin.
WAXED COTTON- (waxed cotton) - natural cotton fabric, which is made by impregnating cotton threads with paraffin. The finished product from such a fabric is treated with wax - waxed. The fabric after that does not get wet in the rain and is not blown by the wind, retains heat well. Waxed cotton backpack, unfortunately, cannot be washed in a washing machine, because the top layer of protection will be washed off. But you can wash it by hand, at a low temperature and without bleach. Products made from such material usually have a fairly high price.
SEMI-SYNTHETIC FABRICS
CANVAS (Canvas) (canvas) - perhaps the most popular material in recent times for sewing modern fabric backpacks and bags.The fabric has no analogues in Russia
.
It has a plain weave, which is why this fabric is also often called "canvas". Its popularity is largely determined by the composition. Canvas has a complex "two-layer" composition: the base layer consists of 85% polyester and 15% nylon, the top layer: 65% polyester and 15% cotton. Canvas outwardly gives the impression of a natural fabric. Due to such a complex composition, canvas has very high consumer qualities: a high degree of wear resistance; breathability; does not roll during operation; the material dries quickly, does not require special care. To clean it from dirt, it is enough to wipe the product from a damp cloth or wash it at a temperature of 30 degrees; resistant to all kinds of pollution, due to Teflon impregnation, the material has excellent dirt and water-repellent properties; does not irritate the skin.
TAPESTRY- (gobelin) is a blended fabric consisting of cotton and polyester (50/50). The tapestry is practical, wear-resistant, does not fade in the sun, and is easy to care for. Bags and backpacks made of tapestry are beautiful, distinguished by a variety of patterns and colors.
MODERN SYNTHETIC FABRICS
OXFORD
(Oxford)– synthetic fabric based on polyester (PU) or nylon (PVC). It is quite easy to distinguish this type of fabric from other synthetic ones - it has a special weave of threads - gunny, (the interlacing of threads forms squares arranged in a checkerboard pattern).
Nylon oxford
characterized by high strength and elasticity, resistance to abrasion and chemical reagents. At the same time, nylon oxford is electrolyzed, has low heat and light resistance.Polyester Oxford
in strength and chemical resistance, it is slightly inferior to nylon oxford, but surpasses it in heat and light resistance.
The density of Oxford fabric depends on the thickness of the thread and is indicated in DEN (D) from 150D-1680D gr/sq.m. The higher the number, the thicker the threads and the denser, coarser the fabric. For sewing bags, backpacks, shoes and car awnings, oxford with a density of 600D PU, 600D PVC, 1680D PU is used. Items made of Oxford fabric are recommended to be washed at 40°C, normal dry cleaning and tumble drying at low temperatures are allowed. Bleach is prohibited.
POLYESTER
(polyester) - a synthetic fabric made from melts of polyethylene terephthalate (from petroleum). It is easier to list what is not sewn from polyester. At present, when sewing products from polyester, viscose or cotton threads are added to it to enhance its consumer advantages. Backpack made of polyester is durable, elastic, wear-resistant, water-resistant, UV-resistant. Polyester products can be washed at temperatures up to 30 degrees. Polyester dries quickly, does not stretch, practically does not shrink when washed (unless cotton is added).
NYLON
(nylon) - synthetic fabric based on polyamide. Thanks to polyamide, nylon is wear-resistant, elastic, resilient, resistant to many chemicals and ultraviolet. Nylon can be washed in the washing machine at low temperatures, but be aware that it can stretch a lot when wet. In recent years, when sewing backpacks and bags from nylon, to improve its appearance and consumer qualities, natural fibers are added to it: cotton, satin.
TASLAN
(Taslan) is a popular synthetic fabric for school backpacks and school bags. Fabric based on 100% nylon. But due to the special weave of threads, taslan has not only all the qualities inherent in nylon, but also perfectly repels grease and dirt. Taslan is very light, which is essential for a school backpack. It is easy to care for: it can be washed in a washing machine at temperatures up to 40 degrees, it can be ironed at a low temperature. Do not: bleach, boil, use dry cleaning, remove stains.
HEADER
(or crepe) - a synthetic fabric with a special crepe twisting of threads, resulting in a spring effect. The harvester can be cotton, woolen, silk and synthetic. The header is the ideal material for corrugated fabrics, as folds on such a fabric last for years.
The header is light, but very durable fabric, retains its appearance after washing, it does not wrinkle, it does not need to be ironed, it has a small degree of stretching. Depending on the raw material, the harvester can be shiny (silk, synthetics) or matte. In recent years, the header is very popular in the production of school backpacks.Today, you will not surprise anyone with a waterproof jacket, backpack or cap. But the history of waxed fabric began long before the appearance of casual wear from such a material. It is generally accepted that the founders were J Barbour & Sons, who created clothes for sailors, hunters and the working class. But the technology itself appeared a little earlier, in 1795, when linen sails were soaked in seed oil. Of course, these are only the first attempts to create a waterproof material, but thanks to her, Barbour had something to build on.
The advent of waxed fabric
The principle of creating a fabric is to “lubricate” cotton with paraffin at the weaving stage. In this case, after manufacturing, the material is re-rubbed with wax. At first, the fabric was too rough and heavy; it was not possible to immediately come to the ideal option. Therefore, the Barbour company continued to try, and already in the 30s of the twentieth century, progress was made. Now cotton was pleasant to the touch and light, which made it possible to create waterproof and windproof outerwear.
Who wears waxed jackets?
- Farmers, fishermen and hunters prefer these jackets as they protect against wind and moisture. The material is strong and durable;
- Aristocrats choose waxed clothes, mainly Barbour, because of their elegance and practicality;
- Ordinary people not only in England, but throughout Europe wear waxed jackets. Reliable protection in bad weather, which haunts many countries most of the year.
Waxed cotton
Let's go back to the ancestors of waxed clothing fabric. Barbour uses 5 types of cotton:
- sylkoil - 6 oz or 8 oz, soft cotton for everyday wear;
- milledwax - 8 oz, slow waxing process to preserve lint;
- thornproof - 6 oz, the most popular type, especially for maximum protection against moisture and wind;
- antique wax - 4 oz, lightweight cotton, used in jackets for outings and business meetings;
- weathered wax - density from 8 oz, heavy material for hunting, fishing.
The difference is in the style and weight of the material. Antique cotton looks more worn. Also, the materials differ in brilliance and shades of color. That is why in the outerwear lines you can always find a thing to your liking. During the period of popularity of motorcycle clothing, another British company appeared that successfully created equipment for riders. Belstaff in 1948 was surprised by the popular TrialMaster jacket, in which Che Guevara himself traveled around Latin America.
Along with the two most popular brands, Burberry, Grenfell and Ventile appeared in the late 19th century, and then the market began to fill with nylon and PVC products. Oddly enough, waxed cotton still occupies a leading position until now. Despite the fact that such clothes should not be placed in the washing machine, as the protective coating will simply wash off, ordinary citizens and members of the royal family prefer it. It is pleasant to realize that you are wearing a jacket, which is the choice of such high-profile persons. Prince William, of course, is unlikely to wax a jacket at home on his own, but any other buyer can easily do this by reading simple instructions. Stock up on a jar of wax and a hairdryer, and now you are already a professional in restoring the protective layer of jackets.
What is wax made from?
Previously, when impregnating threads, a specific paraffin was used. It is a wax-like viscous consistency from a mixture of hydrocarbons. It was made from oil. Now technology has gone far ahead, and such substances are not used. Modern clothing wax uses beeswax or a special type of paraffin. There is soft and hard wax. Soft is suitable for cotton jackets, while hard can be used for synthetic material. For example, it is often used to renew the protective layer on Fjallraven's patented G-1000 material, where the fabric is only partially cotton.
No matter how many new materials appear, customers pay tribute to the traditions and elegance of the first stylish waxed jackets. It seems that you go hunting with the royal family somewhere in the vastness of England or are going on a long journey by ship. It is these unique sensations that make you buy waxed jackets and restore them at home.
“There is no other jacket like it, it promises to outlive all other options, stay stylish and not let you down when it rains. The question is not even whether to buy or not, but what kind of model? William from Bow Tied and Starry Eyed.
I hope that the article will be informative not only for those who are interested in fabrics and materials of light industry, but also for everyone who follows fashion trends in motorcycle equipment.
The text turned out to be a lot and in order not to tire with volume, I break it into two parts. Today I publish the first - historical :)
WAXED COTTON. PART 1: HISTORY.
Sailors of the past noticed that wet sails worked more efficiently than dry ones. True, due to the increased weight of the wet sail, the ship significantly reduced its speed. Since the 15th century, sailors have covered canvas clothing with animal fats, from the remains of which they also made waterproof capes to protect themselves from moisture. Through experiments, the sailors found out that a sail saturated with fat gave greater traction in dry weather, and did not increase its weight in wet weather. This discovery hastened the appearance of impregnated fabrics.
Since 1795 the Scottish company Francis Webster, which produced canvas, improved the production technology. The idea of using linseed oil as an impregnation for canvas was introduced. This is how waxed linen appeared - a material lighter than canvas. Soon this novelty began to be used on the ships of the Royal Navy of Great Britain and on the ships of the first tea merchants.
At that time, competition in the tea trade market was growing rapidly, so entrepreneurs were constantly looking for new ways to reduce the weight of canvas and increase the maneuverability of ships. Thanks to the developed trade with the northern part of Africa, Egyptian cotton became the first material to replace linen.
The first garments made from linseed oil-impregnated African cotton began to appear in the mid-1850s. The sails of the tea clipper were made of strong two-ply threads, which gave greater strength. The impregnation methods were varied, but they all had the same drawbacks: first of all, the material lost its flexibility in the cold, duble. In addition, the fabric soaked in linseed oil turned yellow over time (this color in the future formed the image of a yellow fishing cape).
In the mid-1920s, three companies joined forces to produce paraffin-waxed cotton. Such a fabric almost did not let moisture through, breathed better, did not harden in cold weather and did not turn yellow over time. The fabrics produced by Webster's factory were taken to Lancashire to be dyed (black or olive green) and then to London, where they were treated with a copper-ammonia solution. Then the fabric was returned to Lancashire, where it was impregnated with wax, and then back to Webster's warehouses, from where further distribution and distribution was carried out.
Webster sent the new product for testing to another part of the British Empire with a similar climate and great love for sailing ships: New Zealand. There he gained great popularity and received the name Japara - this is the name of Webster and chose as the name of his trademark. Waxed cotton quickly became a success in the commercial shipping industry and Webster, as the main manufacturer of waxed cotton, began to think about finding new markets ...
