Waxed my jacket

There are diy versions that combine paraffin and linseed oil, or just paraffin.

My son had a nice one, and my wife didn't understand the concept of Oilskin and washed it
he was very disappointed to have a regular jacket afterwards -
Wacks
-
The first time I used a hair dryer but it didnt melt the wax enough to soaks in then later the jacket was all Crunchy with white everywhere, the second time I used a hot air gun and it worked much btter
-
I recommend finding some denim at like a thrift shop to try it out first, it took me several attempts and it still isn't great but I think i got the method down better

There's also this spray you can put on stuff after you wash them and they are damp, it's likenwhat they put on windbreaker jackets to make them water proof or tents. Probably full of pfa's now that I think about it though

I see, thanks! I wonder if it's a regional thing. I don't see anything like this on the East Coast.
