Professional Waxed Jacket Cleaning & Rewaxing Australia
Professional Waxed Jacket Cleaning & Rewaxing Australia
Professional care for waxed cotton jackets, oilskin coats and heritage canvas garments. From specialist cleaning and rewaxing to complete garment restoration, our Australia-wide mail-in service helps you care for the garments worth keeping.
Give Your Favourite Jacket a New Lease on Life
A quality waxed jacket is made to be worn, weathered and enjoyed. Over time, dirt, wear and exposure to the elements can affect the fabric and protective wax finish, leaving a garment looking tired, dry or less water-resistant.
At Artisan's Son, we offer professional waxed jacket cleaning, oilskin cleaning, garment rewaxing and complete restoration from our workshop in Adelaide, South Australia. Our services are designed to help maintain the performance, character and useful life of quality waxed garments.
Whether your jacket needs cleaning before rewaxing, a fresh protective wax finish or a more comprehensive restoration, we'll help you identify the service that best suits its condition.
Serving customers Australia-wide through our mail-in garment service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about waxed jacket cleaning, professional rewaxing and garment restoration.
Can I send my jacket from anywhere in Australia?
Yes. Our mail-in service is available Australia-wide. After ordering online, we'll email you the address and instructions for sending your garment to our Adelaide workshop.
What's the difference between cleaning and rewaxing?
Cleaning removes accumulated dirt and prepares the garment. Rewaxing replenishes the protective wax finish. Rewaxing alone does not include cleaning, so the garment must already be clean.
Which service should I choose for a neglected jacket?
Complete Garment Restoration is designed for garments needing a more comprehensive treatment, combining outer cleaning, lining cleaning, odour treatment, rewaxing and final finishing.
Do you clean and rewax Barbour and Driza-Bone jackets?
We offer services for suitable Barbour, Driza-Bone and other waxed cotton or oilskin garments. The right treatment depends on the garment's construction and condition.
Can you restore a vintage waxed jacket?
Many well-loved garments may benefit from professional care. Suitability depends on the fabric, lining, existing damage and overall condition. Contact us with photographs if you're unsure which service to choose.
How long does the service take?
Allow approximately two weeks from the time we receive your garment. Turnaround can vary with workload and service requirements.
Is postage included?
Customers arrange and pay for postage to our workshop. Check the service listing and ordering details for the applicable return postage arrangements and costs.
Can you repair holes, tears or damaged seams?
We offer jacket repairs and alterations subject to assessment. Repair work may incur additional charges. Visit our waxed jacket repair page for more information.
Can I rewax my jacket myself?
Yes, if your garment is suitable and properly clean. Our Heritage Rewaxing Kit provides tools and instructions for home rewaxing.
Can I ask for advice before ordering?
Absolutely. Email photographs and a short description of your garment's condition to hello@artisansson.com and we'll help you work out the most appropriate next step.
