RE: Waxing Cotton
I have a few times waxed jackets & hats with the beeswax/parraffin mix substances - sold as Nikwax & Gwax & similar. It was never successful. There used to be the factory that made Barbour Wax coats less than a mile from where I live. Friends who have been in there said the made up garments used to be dipped in large hot vats and impregnated right through the material, not just on the surface. That is why they are fairly stiff to feel.
China now I would think... A**E!
