'I've always loved old things, treasured possessions that carry the patina of time and stories of those before us.'
This reverence extends to waxed jackets: gorgeous garments passed down like family heirlooms. The relentless over-consumption of our modern age troubles me deeply, which is why I've dedicated myself to reviving and caring for these traditional pieces.
I firmly believe that the better one cares for one's belongings, the more one loves them and the longer they endure, a philosophy rather out of step with today's throwaway culture.
I take great pleasure in seeking out forgotten waxed jackets and restoring them using my own handmade wax, ensuring they're properly protected against the elements.
Over the years, I've cultivated an extensive network from Scotland to Argentina, Australia to Japan, granting me a steady supply of jackets from renowned brands like Belstaff, Barbour, and Drizabone, as well as lesser-known marques equally deserving of preservation.
