The Care Guide: Waxed Cotton

Here at Parka, we create outerwear that is designed to last and our WATSON parka is definitely no exception. Engineered from 100% cotton with a wax finish, it is the perfect transitional piece for anybody’s wardrobe.

We believe understanding the product you’re buying leads to you being able to show it the right kind of love. Therefore, we wanted to provide you with an insight into our WATSON waxed cotton parka and how to care for it.

WHY CHOOSE OUR WAXED COTTON JACKET?

Waxed cotton jackets provide warmth and protection from the wind and rain without compromising breathability, making it perfect for spring.

Our WATSON parka is available in three staple colours (black, grey and green). And we have added a contemporary twist to our classic parka, the contrast stitching subtly spices up your outfit while the modern boxy fit provides room for layering up on colder days. A generous hood and drawstring waist provides practicality and style in one. In a nutshell, it is to enjoy the great outdoors, whatever the weather, season or occasion.

Waxed cotton is known for its durability. With its ability to withstand wear and tear from those overgrown thorns and branches, if looked after correctly it will provide you many years of loyal service. Some would say it is like a fine wine and gets better with age!

SO, HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR WAXED COTTON JACKET...

We understand life gets in the way and marks can seemingly appear from nowhere. Thankfully, our WATSON parka is easy to look after day to day! Although not suitable for your washing machine, you can gently buff away spots using a clean damp cloth and hang out to air dry (rather environmentally friendly which makes us love it even more).

Avoid hot water, strong detergent and for tougher stains or re-waxing, we do recommend getting advice from a professional dry cleaner.

Whether you’re heading out for a walk or work this spring, ensure you have a waxed cotton jacket to protect you from all the elements!
