CARE AND REPAIR

1. Remove any dust and dirt by brushing down the surface of the jacket with a dry soft bristle brush and then assess your jacket for cleaning and repairs.

2. Stains or ingrained dirt can be removed by spot cleaning: dampen a lint free cloth or sponge with lukewarm water and gently wipe the soiled area.

3. Air dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for 24 hours. Make sure it’s completely dry before moving to rewaxing. Any repairs or deeper cleaning should be carried out by a professional.

1. Melt the wax by placing the tin in warm water. Let it become translucent without overheating it.

2. Place your jacket, front down on a clean, flat surface and apply the wax using a dry sponge or lint-free cloth in long strokes from bottom to top. Repeat the process on the front. Massage the wax into seams and wear points to prevent water from seeping in.

3. To get an even spread, use a hair dryer to gently heat and redistribute the wax again. You’ll see the wax being absorbed into the fabric.

4. Hang the jacket up to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for 24 hours, make some final checks to ensure a perfect finish.

Avoid the following to protect your jacket and warranty:

• Dry cleaning

• Machine washing

• Tumble drying

• Soap, detergent, bleach, or solvents

• Ironing or starching

• Forced drying or exposure to flame

• Prolonged direct sunlight

• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.

• Store hanging, do not fold.

• Remove dried dirt before storing.

• Ensure the item is fully dry before storage to avoid mildew.

• Avoid prolonged contact with pale-coloured leather seats.

• After waxing, avoid contact with surfaces for a few weeks.

1. Remove any dirt brushing down the surface of the jacket with a dry soft bristle brush. 

2. Stains or ingrained dirt can be removed by spot cleaning; Using a bowl of neutral soap and cold water, dampen a clean cloth or sponge and gently wipe the soiled area. 

3. Shake off any excess water and dab the surface of the leather with a dry cloth or sponge

4. If water marks appear, use a damp sponge and wipe over the affected area before once again removing excess water.

5. If the surface becomes dry, we recommend using a leather conditioner to rehydrate the leather to avoid cracking and deterioration. This does not apply to waxed leather, which is finished with a specific combination of oils and waxes designed to develop a natural patina over time. Waxed leather should be reconditioned using one of our specialist partners. This is a chargeable service and can be arranged through our store team or Customer Service.

6. Hang the garment in a well-ventilated area to dry for 24 hours, far from direct sources of heat and direct sunlight.

Avoid the following:

• Non-professional leather dry cleaning

• Machine washing

• Tumble drying

• Non-neutral soap, detergent, bleach, or solvents

• Ironing or starching

• Forced drying or flame

• Prolonged sunlight (e.g., rear car window)

Notes:

• Light stains on suede and nubuck may be removed with a rubber.

• We recommend that you do not use the Belstaff wax on waxed leather products as this is produced for the wax cotton jackets only.

• To prevent discolouration, avoid direct contact with alcohol-based products (such as hand sanitiser or aftershave) and oil-based products (like make-up). Ensure your skin is dry before wearing Belstaff leather products.

• Store hanging using strong wooden or padded hangers, do not fold.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
