Got a jacket and water is getting in through the seam across the shoulders. Can someone recommend a waterproofing treatment to use in an effort to restore the jacket to its former self.

    I second the Nikwax stuff although at the moment I'm using Grangers 2 in 1 wash and proof which is good and is quicker due to only needing one was cycle. What ever you use follow the instructions and clean the dispenser draw to remove as much normal detergent as possible.
