'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.
