Our Reproofing Services
Proven by tens of thousands of garments, Reproofed without fail!
We use the finest odorless wax for reproofing and pay special attention to the hard-wear areas like cuffs, shoulders, elbows, etc. Our reproofing service will rejuvenate the waterproof- and windproof-features of your favorite waxed jacket. Unlike other reproofing companies, we reproof your pieces by hand and not with a spray

New England Reproofers Leather Treatment
The conditioning process of a leather jacket is recommended to extend the life and beauty of the garment. Conditioning adds moisture which prevents the leather from drying and cracking, as well as, revives the color and preserves the soft texture.
At New England Reproofers the conditioning process is done by hand in three steps:
- Cleaning to remove dirt and stains
- Conditioning to nourish and beautify
- Treating with a water-repellency treatment to add a degree of protection should the jacket be exposed to rain temporarily
