Waterproofing Jacket

[yikes]

I have a jacket/parka from LandsEnd that I’ve love for years and can’t find anymore… it used to be waterproofed. I tried the spray on waterproofing but it washed right out. Does anyone know any way to do this? Especially important in this weather! Thanks

What is it made of?

I have a Filson all weather coat and hat that I have to use a wax/oil mix on.

You need two items first you wash the jacket with this

then you waterproof it with this

Nikwax has products for about every fabric there is.
