About Us

Our story…

Founder and President Alain Gauthier brings a wealth of knowledge in the garment and reproofing industry to provide a much-needed service. New England Reproofers understand that most often consumers do not have the time nor expertise to repair their own garment…they prefer to send their much-loved friend to a professional that knows how to care for these fine jackets. Unfortunately, there were very few of these professionals to be found…especially in the United States.

At last, New England Reproofers was formed to meet the ever-growing demand for the professional care of waxed cotton garments. Whether the jacket was made in the British Isles, New Zealand or Australia…the one place you can count on for reproofing is in New England, USA.

Twenty years and counting. The tradition and legacy continues… Which is good news for all the waxed-cotton garment enthusiasts! New England Reproofers has always been a family business. Alain’s wife, sister and great-niece have always been part of the unique craft of restoring garments for those who have an extraordinary connection with their jackets and can’t imagine letting them go. Although Alain’s heart and soul is still committed to the industry, Alain has passed the old world techniques and a life-time of skills to his daughter, Nancy, who intends to keep the legacy alive. She can’t remember a time growing up when dad’s workshop wasn’t filled with the sounds of sewing machines and the pleasant smell of the specially formulated wax as it melts to the perfect recipe. Nancy Gauthier Burkett began working with her father Alain at the age of 17, working and learning alongside him at the reproofing table. She now fully runs the business, but Alain is still mentoring and lending a hand when needed. They both are passionate about the unique and exclusive service they provide. A true sign of a genuine craftsperson.
