This is the absolute best.
I've had my driza-bone for 32 years and it's still an awesome coat. I look after it.

Used your recipe to re proof my motorcycle jacket - tested on a wet trip through Wales - completely sealed the jacket including the zips . I’ve used spray on , the Gold Label’ cream and a soak in tent proofer before - I can honestly say your bar wax was easier to use (unexpected !) and for the first time my jacket had no leaks at all despite the levee breaking weather .

Thanks so much ! Im just turning 70 ,and my life has been one built on useful tools, useful skills and good humor..finding your work is like coming home!

Since watching this video I’ve become a cotton waxing madman.   Just too much fun and practical.

Thankyou so much for this post, using this method I knocked up a tub of wax using around an 1" 1/2" cut from a fat candle, mixed with 1/2 bottle of baby oil & half a tin of Barbour wax (I was very loose with the ingredient amounts) blitzed in a microwave then mixed thoroughly, so far, I`ve rewaxed 1 (Bomber style) waxed jacket & waterproofed a brand new canvas backpack, I used a hair dryer as it was my first attempt but, I`d have no hesitation going with a heatgun the next time just to speed things up. At a tenner for Barbour wax alone I`ve saved a fortune & I`ve still got half a (large 500g) tub left! Lovely.

EXCELLENT, perfect instructions and demonstration for my rainy home area.  Thank you…from an old vet, retired in the US, hills of east Tennessee.

Brilliant video.
Thank you for teaching me new skills ❤

I’m American, lived in Houston for nearly 20 out of my 24 year life, & this simple yet fantastic technology has changed my life.

I work outside for many hours in this humid & rainy hell hole we call Houston. This has made so many problems just vanish. The winter is just as wet & humid as summer, just colder, so using this video has been an unbelievable boon in my daily life.

Thank you so much!

I've been watching videos on how to wax a jacket and I find your technique to be the  best and less messy. Most of the videos have you melting wax and "painting" the wax onto the garment then melting with a heat gun. Your method is more controlled on the amount of wax used. Thanks

Just re waxed an old Barbour knock off and a real drizzabone over the weekend. Made the wax bar weeks ago, applied it this weekend. Fantastic, works like a charm and very satisfying to do. Now need to test in anger, but as I live in Scotland the opportunity is bound to present itself soon 😁 Would have done it sooner but had to wait till the wife was away so that I could do it in the kitchen, don't have a barn....sadly. Top tips and guidance from you, many thanks

Excellent option to original Barbour wax. Thank you for explaining the process of re-waxing the jacket.

By far the best video on how to re-wax your jacket! Great detail awesome narrative! Thanks!

Great educational video plus good dialog and editing. Wish I'd seen this "lesson" before the "others" as it's been by far the best. Not simply re-waxing, but also how to make your own wax that is most suitable for your needs ...... excellent.

I've just re-waxed my Barbour jacket and it's like new again! I like the point you made about it being a sustainable choice, especially significant given the recent media obsession with clothing that's kind to the environment.

Your recipe is much simpler and just as effective as the others I’ve seen on this topic. Thank you from Alaska.

saw this a week ago, tried it on my very 'soggy' Barbour that has had manufacturer treatment, and after market 'quackers' treatment.
Used exactish proportions, let cool and crayoned on. Unlike all the other treatments this one was solid. usual thing that people look for other easy flow solutons as escape from graft.
Yuo can see where this method has been applied, payed special attention to seams.
The only change was i melted in front of the log burner, seconds to melt so do not hold stationary.
Thus far i cab only say the appearance is uniform not as shabby as it was.
It now looks like an oil skin, can't wait to test it !.
Thank you.

What a well produced and informative video

We live in our Driza-bones down here mate. Best jacket on the planet. Great video.

Loved the video. No crap, good edit, nice audio. Will be using your "recipe" on my own jacket(s) in a few days. Cheers!

Just picked up a Kiwi Backhouse jacket from a local Hospice charity shop for 18 quid. (A Barbour company) In the same colour as the Driza Bone coat shown here. It's in brilliant condition, and I'm looking forward to re-proofing it. Cheers for this video...
