  infused with fish oils and later paraffin or
  beeswax, these jackets offered waterproof
  qualities essential for life at sea. This
  practical outerwear durability and weather
  resistance soon made it a favorite among

  Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For
  tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used
  sparingly.

  re-wax your jacket annually or biannually,
  depending on usage. You can purchase wax from
