S+W Waxed Canvas Rain Jacket - Slate
S+W Waxed Canvas Rain Jacket - Slate
Before polyester and nylon, waxed canvas was a go-to fabric for rain jackets. We've been dying to make one with Shift + Wheeler written all over it. We finally did! Don't worry, it'll keep you dry in the harshest rain.
This garment is oversized, to accommodate the things we wear under raincoats (bulky sweaters, layers). Please refer to the sizes listed as a best suggestion, and read the measurements carefully. All measurements listed are for the GARMENT, not your body! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us.
Made of 8 oz. waxed canvas with Railroad Denim accents. Bottom pockets have side access and top access.
Nick is wearing the Large. He's 6'2" and wears a mens Large or XL. Becky is wearing the 2XL, she is 5'1" and wears a commercial size 22/24.

Care
Waxed canvas is known to age beautifully and patina over time. This is especially noticable and happens more quickly with lighter colors such as yellow.
Cleaning Waxed Canvas
Brush off dirt or sand. Use a clean sponge or brush to gently massage small spots with cold water and a drop of mild soap. Rinse with cold water. Let the bag air dry. Do not use warm or hot water, laundry detergent, traditional washing, or dry cleaning.
Re-Waxing
To maintain the water resistance of your item, you may choose to re-wax in a year or two, depending on how much you use it. Use canvas wax according to package instructions.
