Waxed Garment
The “wrinkling" of waxed cotton garment happens when the (often new) fabric is bent, folded, worn, etc. Over time this happens less and less. In fact it is not the fabric wrinkling but the wax that leaves these lines at high spots. It is one of the defining characteristics of the product. Like denim, it will break in, develop patina and become very distinctive to the owner.
Should the jacket’s water-repellent properties diminish after hard use over a longer period of time you can restore the wax coat with a can of Dehen "Refinishing Wax". To apply this you will need a hairdryer and a piece of sponge. Warm up the jacket section by section and rub in the fresh wax to re-establish a new water-repellent coat. It requires about an hour to do a whole jacket.
