Cold-Iron Shirt

Dry Waxed 100% Cotton


The Cold-Iron Shirt is a beast. More of a coat than a shirt but comfy and light feeling because the wax outer isn’t stiff and the quilted lining is soft like clouds.

If you compare the measurements with our original Iron Shirts, you will notice that they differ slightly. You should, however, stick to your usual Iron Shirt / HebTroCo size. The differences in measurements are down to the thickness of the insulated lining of the Cold-Iron Shirt.

Since everything we do is made by hand, there can be a slight variation between pieces (up to 2% either way is considered within tolerance). Natural fibres can also shift slightly during production, with a bit of stretch or shrinkage being part of the process.

Ideally you’re not going to wash a wax cotton jacket.

Spot clean any bad stains gently with a damp cloth.

If you absolutely must, it can be hand washed in cool water but do not spin it, drip dry only and definitely do not tumble dry.

Reproof with wax reproofing product. Use Halley Stevensons EverWax reproofing tin if you would like to maintain the original appearance of the garment. Otherwise, you can use a reproofing wax of your choice.

Why Cold-Iron?

According to folklore cold-iron was used to repel evil spirits and bring good luck. Put on that Iron Shirt and drive Satan out of earth! Horseshoes made of cold-iron were hung over doors to ward off malevolent forces in just this way.

The HebTroCo Cold-Iron Shirt wards off the rain and the cold. Wax cotton outer from Halley Stevensons in Dundee, Scotland the masters of waxed cotton. This blend of oils and waxes proofs the cotton to keep out the wind and rain. The deluxe wool-insulated quilting keeps in your heat. We use HD Wool from Saltaire just over the hill who only use wool from UK sheep. Keeping it local keeps it cosy!

It warms our hearts that the wax cotton is from Scotland and the insulation is British wool. Another great British HebTroCo banger.
