Clothing Garment Restoration Service - Stage 5. # Complete Garment Service
Professional Waxed Garment Restoration Service
Love your well-worn waxed fabric garment and want it professionally restored?
Artisan’s Son offers a complete waxed garment restoration and rewaxing service, designed to clean, revive and protect waxed jackets, oilskins and canvas garments — restoring performance while preserving character.
What’s Included
Stage 1: Outer Garment Clean & De-Wax
A specialist hand-cleaning process that removes old waxes, oils and surface contaminants.
- No solvents used — solvents weaken and damage waxed fabrics
- Carefully hand-cleaned by our experienced team
Stage 2: Inner Garment Clean
The inner lining is spot-treated for stains, then fully cleaned, deodorised and antibacterially treated to prevent odours returning.
Most waxed garments feature an unwaxed inner lining that cannot be cleaned using washing machines or dry cleaning. Our process safely treats this layer.
Stage 3: Mould (Mold), Bacteria & Odour Treatment
With the waxes and oils now removed, the garment can be properly treated for mould, bacteria and any lingering odours. These are all removed to leave your garment fresh and wearable.
Stage 4: Garment Re-Waxing
2–3 coats of Artisan’s Son Premium Wax-Based Fabric Wax are applied to waterproof and protect the outer shell.
- Heat-treated for even wax penetration
- Ready to wear immediately
Stage 5: Quality Assurance Checks
Each garment is carefully inspected, hand buffed around buttons, collars and zipper to ensure no excess wax remains; and signed off by a team member to ensure finish, protection and performance meet Artisan’s Son standards.
Sit back and relax — your garment receives the full Artisan’s Son treatment, with nothing spared.
