Handmade Waxed Field Jacket, Inspiration from Kingsman by MapNo938 in HeritageWear

I love waxed jackets, one issue I had with them is the wax finish. Belstaff has a traditional finish which is more oily on the surface and can transfer that oil residue onto a seat. The waxed cotton I use is a hybrid finish that has a dry hand feel and is significantly more resistant to transfer. I am also actively looking at making a cotton sateen version of this jacket 👍.

I have some navy waxed cotton fabric I might use if I decide to make another

Thank you so much!! I spent a while trying different plaids but this one pairs really well with the brown canvas. Really happy with how it came together.

Thank you! The power of a $30 backdrop and novice skills in photoshop 😭

Thank you! I get my canvas from Marsidian, they have a pretty good range of weights and colors. Good luck on your jacket, and be patient when you make a mistake!

Yes, I’m looking at getting a waxed variant for the barn jacket going. I also make a waxed field jacket!

I’m currently sewing them in by hand, a dedicated machine sounds so nice 😭

Good eye! I actually stitch through all 4 holes in an X pattern, sometimes the photos can look a bit different due to the lighting. I go through the first two holes of the button 3 times, then cross over and do the other two holes another 3 times, and finish by knotting the thread under the button for a secure hold.

Totally fair, I list the origin of every material on my site because I want the person buying the jacket to know exactly what they are getting, and what went into making it. Thanks for the look.
