Usage Instructions

1. Layer Properly: Wear over a flannel, henley, or performance base layer. Add a heavier coat in colder conditions.

2. Break It In: The waxed canvas will develop a unique patina with use, giving your vest a personalized, weathered look over time.

3. Maintain the Fabric: Spot clean with a damp cloth. Re-wax with quality waxed cotton dressing when the material begins to dry out or lose its water repellency.

4. Store Properly: Hang when not in use. Avoid high heat or machine washing, which can damage the wax finish.
