Why Stylish Waxed Jackets Are a Must for Every Biker

For bikers, stylish waxed jackets are more than just attire; they’re a staple in both style and functionality. From enhancing your look to providing lasting protection, waxed jackets remain essential for every biker. Let's uncover what makes these jackets a must-have for your collection.

Stylish waxed jackets are timeless symbols of individuality. Its rugged charm and versatile nature have made them a staple in fashion industry and generations. Are you considering adding a stylish yet safe biker jacket to your wardrobe?  When investing in a biker jacket, it's crucial to ensure it's well-made and fits properly. But do the same fitting rules apply to waxed cotton jackets as they do to other types of jackets or outerwear?

Identify your style:

Before exploring the variety of biker jackets, it's important to identify your style. Do you lean towards classic leather designs, or are you more inclined to modern interpretations? Knowing your aesthetic preferences will help you narrow down your choices and ensure you pick a jacket that matches your style. If you commute on your motorcycle, a stylish waxed jacket will probably be the right choice for you.

Understanding biker jacket styles:

Before diving into the fit, it's essential to familiarize yourself with different biker jacket styles. Stylish waxed jackets come in various designs, such as the traditional double rider jacket, the racer jacket, and the café racer jacket. Each style has distinct features and origins, so exploring these options will help you find a style that resonates with you.

How should a leather jacket fit?

Waxed cotton might stretch over time! But that doesn’t mean you want a jacket that’s too small! So you want to start with a waxed cotton jacket that is standard in size.  The right fit is crucial for comfort and style. It’s also important to allow room for layers under your waxed jacket. Here are a few specific tips for finding a waxed jacket that fits just right:

Shoulders: unlike suit coats, waxed jackets can extend a few inches down your arm. The jacket could be too small if the shoulder seam sits above your shoulder.

Chest: waxed cotton jackets should fit more comfortably in the chest compared to regular overcoats. Consider the inner wear and ensure you can comfortably zip or button the jacket!

Hem length: the bottom of your waxed cotton jacket should not fall below your belt or the top of your thigh. This is typically shorter than other overcoats!  Remember that waxed cotton jacket that hangs well below the belt is too large.

Sleeve length: the sleeves of a waxed cotton jacket should end at your wrist. Sleeves that extend past your wrist make it look like you're wearing it by borrowing from someone larger.

Check the material:

Choosing waxed cotton surely suits your lifestyle. It can be perfect when it comes to maintenance and aesthetic tastes. They are tear-resistant and very durable and they age stunningly with aesthetically pleasing creases and colour permutations. They are perfect for outdoor clothing and gear, such as bikers jackets. One of the big draws for waxed cotton is that it is a product for life.  If you take care of your waxed cotton garments properly, they will last for years and years. They’re made to timeless styles that never go out of style.

Color palette:

The waxed cotton biker jackets usually come in timeless colours like black and brown. Black jackets exude edginess and versatility, while brown jackets offer a more casual and rugged vibe. Select a colour that accompanies your wardrobe and personal style.

Hardware and detailing:

Consider the hardware details such as zippers, snaps, and buckles. Silver hardware adds a modern edge, while brass hardware gives a vintage touch. The level of detailing can also influence the jacket's overall look, so think about how much embellishment you prefer.

When choosing a waxed jacket, you’re investing in more than just style; you’re investing in a piece of biker culture. For stylish waxed jackets that deliver on both durability and aesthetics, explore Speedwear Ltd high-quality collection today.

Javery Hcssss

hi guysssss! I hope you like these hcs and enjoyed them as much as i liked making them. I took some of the tips. I got from my last post and used to them to make these. Please comment any more ways I can improve. I’m always trying to get better. Thank you.

when jameson first started dating her, she had never received romantic affection, so she had no idea to react to it and just combusted

jamie leaves the biggest and darkest hickeys on her and she sometimes doesn’t even realize until she hears snickering

at a gala, one time avery pulled jameson into the bathroom and they made out until alisa came looking for them, averys red lipstick stained his face and there was no makeup to cover it up causing alisa to just scream at them for like 20 minutes and he walked around the gala with lipstick stains on his face the rest of the night

avery once told jameson what she always wanted her first dance song to be, and a few hours later he called her to help her find her phone and her ringtone for him was that song (in my mind it is timeless by ts but you decide)

she had so much trouble showing jameson just how much she loved him at first, so she would write him letters telling him her feelings, jameson then incorporated some of the things ave wrote in the letters into his wedding vows (she also included some of things he said in his love confession in tfg in her vows (they both started sobbing and no one else knew why))

avery and jamie make each other scrapbooks about things they do together

jameson goes up randomly to ave and takes a 0.5 of her, that photo then becomes his lock screen for the day

whenever the song call me maybe comes on, jamie SCREAMS that song to ave no matter if they are in public or not

they watch disney movies and go to the parks together all the time

sometimes when it rains, they go to a secluded part of the estate and slow dance

they once got food poisoning together from a 3:00 am taco bell run and they held each other while the other threw up

when they were still in school, jamie did theatre and avery was the assistant director just so she could watch jamie preform. he also had to stage kiss and almost dropped out because he felt like he was cheating on ave. she assured him it was fine

jameson once did avery’s makeup and hair and it looked so good people thought it was professionally done

once ave asked jameson what she should get done to her nails, and he responded with something like “rounded square nude french tips” and she just sat there like “how the hell does he know that”

when jamie gives avery one of his jackets, he always pretends like he’s not cold and ave finds it adorable

jamie was once on avery’s phone and read some of the texts she sent max about him (like her absolutely thirsting for him) and he was so surprised because it was a major flip from her usual self

he always opens car doors and pulls out ave’s seat

like i said in my last hc post about them being theatre kids and dressing up like eliza and ham for halloween, he was posting stuff the whole night like “my life is going fine because elliza is in it” and she was posting stuff like “he better say no to this” while he looked over at another girl in a red dress (everyone thought it was adorable and hilarious)

jameson can sketch and draw pretty well, and ave can paint, so they once made a custom chess board

no matter if they admit it or not, they cannot sleep without each other. like if the other is out working late or sum, the one in bed cannot fall asleep.

jamie loves braiding avery’s hair and he even watches tutorials on how to make complex braids so her looks unique. when people ask who/how she did her hair, she responds with an excited “oh! it was jamie, hes the best!” and he just smiles proudly.

they make up very complicated yet super cute handshakes that they do often

they once made a tiktok of them singing promiscuous and the fans went BALLISTIC

avery once waxed jameson’s eyebrows and gave him acrylic nails for fun (he looked absolutely fabulous)

i really hope you liked theseee! please let me know how i can improve. also my inbox is open if you have any requests or recommendations. thank you so much!

I’m trying to decide between the Barbour Beaufort and the Bedale. Which would you recommend?

That depends. Both qualify as timeless English country styles and will serve you well for years to come. The differences are in the details.

Bedale: For the Equestrian

Bedale waxed jacket via barbour.com

The Bedale was designed in 1980 for equestrian uses, and therefore has details like snap studded gusseted side vents to accommodate a saddle. It also makes it more flexible at the hips, should that be your preference. The Bedale has woolen knitted inner storm cuffs designed to prevent rain from running down your arms as you hold the reins. They’re warmer but fit less well over other garments like a suit or the thick cuffs of a heavy sweater. Note that Barbour does sell Gilets that fit nicely under their slimmer fitting jackets that add warmth without bulk—I’ve been very happy with mine and it extends the wear time of my lighter jackets into the early winter months.

Beaufort: For the Game Hunter

Beaufort waxed jacket via barbour.com

The Beaufort, released in 1983, was intended for use in shooting. It has a rear nylon-lined game pocket called a poacher's pocket with zippered access on both sides. This can be used to store goods to keep them dry during extended walks in the rain. It also has some more material than the Bedale. It’s a little longer and has Velcro fastening nylon inner cuffs, designed to break away when lifting arms quickly to shoot. There are also some slight differences in the inner pockets that can be read below.

My Thoughts

As to my personal recommendation, I think it really comes down to what you’re using it for and which features you like. I would personally prefer the Bedale at the moment for its slightly shorter fit and flexible waist. I just like the shorter style for this type of jacket.

Though the corduroy collar is a timeless style with some functionality such as to keep rain away from the wearer, I actually like the Royston style over either jacket because of its Harrington style collar and streamlined fit (see the picture below for reference). Keep in mind that I live in a major city in the United States and will not be planning any long countryside treks through the muck, rain, and mud anytime soon. It’s a little lighter-weight, too, which fits my climate. I have several Barbour jackets but have yet to invest in one of their waxed jackets. If I do, it will simply be a light rain jacket for Spring or Fall. I wouldn’t plan to wear bulky sweaters or a suit underneath, and I prefer slimmer fits.

As a second alternative, I also recommend considering the longer Border jacket if you do plan to do significant layering—such as a thicker winter suit—or if you need additional protection from the elements, or are very tall.

How to Repair and Restore Vintage Barbour Clothing

Barbour jackets have been synonymous with classic British style and durability for over a century. These iconic pieces, particularly the Vintage Barbour jackets, are prized possessions for fashion enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike. However, like all well-loved items, time and usage can take a toll on their appearance and functionality. If you own a Barbour jacket that has seen better days, don’t worry! With proper care and a bit of effort, you can restore your vintage piece to its former glory. Here’s a comprehensive guide to repairing and restoring your Vintage Barbour clothing.

Understanding the Legacy of Barbour JacketsBefore diving into restoration, it’s essential to appreciate why Barbour jackets are so special. Established in 1894, Barbour became famous for its waxed cotton outerwear that provides exceptional protection against harsh weather. Over time, their jackets have become a fashion staple, cherished for their timeless appeal and resilience. Owning a Vintage Barbour jacket means you hold a piece of history, so treating it with care is a worthwhile endeavor.

Assessing the Condition of Your Vintage Barbour JacketThe first step in restoring your Vintage Barbour jacket is to assess its condition. Look for signs of wear such as:

Faded or worn wax coating

Tears or holes in the fabric

Broken zippers or buttons

Frayed seams or linings

Create a checklist of areas that need attention. Knowing what to prioritize will help you plan your repair and restoration project effectively.Cleaning Your Vintage Barbour JacketWhy Cleaning is EssentialCleaning a Barbour jacket is a delicate process. Over time, dirt and grime accumulate on the waxed surface, diminishing its weather-resistant properties. However, you must avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents as they can strip the wax coating.How to Clean Your Jacket

Brush off dirt: Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to remove surface debris.

Spot clean: For stubborn stains, use cold water and a sponge with a mild detergent. Avoid soaking the jacket.

Dry naturally: Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Re-Waxing Your Barbour JacketImportance of Re-WaxingThe signature feature of Barbour jackets is their waxed cotton exterior, which provides a water-resistant layer. Over time, this wax coating wears off, leaving the fabric vulnerable to moisture and damage. Re-waxing is essential to restore the jacket’s protective qualities.Steps for Re-Waxing

Choose the right wax: Purchase Barbour Thornproof Wax Dressing or an equivalent high-quality product.

Warm the wax: Place the wax tin in warm water to soften it.

Apply wax evenly: Use a lint-free cloth or sponge to spread a thin, even layer of wax over the jacket. Focus on seams and areas prone to wear.

Heat the jacket: Use a hairdryer to melt the wax into the fabric, ensuring it penetrates deeply.

Buff the surface: Gently buff the jacket with a clean cloth to remove excess wax and achieve a smooth finish.

Allow the jacket to dry naturally for 24 hours before use.

Repairing Tears and HolesTools You’ll Need

Heavy-duty needle and thread

Waxed cotton patches (preferably in matching colors)

Fabric adhesive (optional)

Repair Process

Inspect the damage: Identify tears or holes and clean the surrounding area.

Cut patches: Cut a patch slightly larger than the tear.

Attach the patch: Sew the patch onto the damaged area using a strong stitch, or use fabric adhesive for extra reinforcement.

Re-wax the area: Apply a thin layer of wax over the patch to integrate it with the rest of the jacket.

Fixing Zippers and ButtonsReplacing a Broken Zipper

Remove the old zipper: Use a seam ripper to carefully remove the damaged zipper.

Align the new zipper: Pin the replacement zipper in place, ensuring it matches the original alignment.

Sew securely: Use a heavy-duty needle and thread to sew the zipper onto the jacket.

Replacing Missing ButtonsBarbour provides replacement buttons with most jackets. If you’ve misplaced them, order authentic replacements from Barbour’s website or a trusted retailer.

Position the button: Place the button on the marked spot.

Secure the button: Sew it firmly using strong thread, making several loops for durability.

Restoring the LiningEvaluating the LiningThe lining of a Vintage Barbour jacket adds comfort and insulation. Over time, it may become frayed or worn out. Inspect the lining to determine whether it needs minor stitching or full replacement.Repair Options

Minor tears: Use a needle and thread to stitch small tears in the lining.

Full replacement: If the lining is severely damaged, consider replacing it with a similar fabric. A professional tailor can ensure a perfect fit.

Maintaining Your Restored Vintage Barbour JacketRegular CleaningClean your jacket regularly to prevent dirt build-up. A light wipe with a damp cloth after every use is sufficient for routine maintenance.Periodic Re-WaxingRe-wax your jacket annually or as needed, depending on usage. This simple step will keep it weather-resistant and extend its lifespan.Storage TipsStore your Vintage Barbour jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it for long periods to prevent creases that can weaken the wax coating.Professional Repair Services for Barbour JacketsIf your Vintage Barbour jacket requires extensive repairs or you lack the tools and skills to restore it yourself, consider using Barbour’s repair and re-waxing services. These services ensure that your jacket is restored to its original standards using authentic materials and techniques.Why Restore a Vintage Barbour Jacket?Restoring a Vintage Barbour jacket isn’t just about maintaining its functionality—it’s about preserving a piece of history and a timeless fashion statement. By repairing and restoring your jacket, you’re contributing to sustainable fashion by extending the life of a high-quality product.ConclusionRepairing and restoring your Vintage Barbour jacket may require effort, but the rewards are immense. From cleaning and re-waxing to fixing zippers and repairing tears, each step brings new life to your beloved jacket. Whether you take on the task yourself or seek professional help, you’ll ensure that your Barbour jacket continues to serve you for years to come.
