Rewaxing?

Hello guys,

Just got a Black Ashby in a very good condition but cotton seems very dry (like if all waxed would have been removed from it)

Im wondering if previous owner didnt put it to the machine washer.

After checking a bit i decided to buy some NikWax to get the cotton impregnated first and then use the barbour wax when this process will be finished for the jacket to be totally weatherproof and to get a nice shine.

Can i get some feedback from people that did rhe same?

Any advice for this process?

Thanks 😊
