Nikwax makes an excellent range of products for waterproofing and
rewaterproofing garments - for the cost of $15 a bottle.  They calaim that
the  Nikwax TX-10 will waterproof wollen jumpers!!  I used it to waterproof
my photographers vest also to rewaterproof my dry japara.  There are two
formulas - was the garment in the Nikwax Tecwash to get rid of any grime,
then wash/soak in the TX-10.  Smells like PVA glue.  It works.  Just
remember thet the garment must then ONLY be washed in Nikwax Tecwash to keep
the waterproofing.
Hope this helps.
