          My suits kept in the garage and luckily her indoors doesn't go in there very often or it would be relegated to the shed.

                  Any good outdoor shop.....and its called nixwax. Grangers do a similar product, you can also get the non detergent wash that helps prolong the life of the water repellent, which is washed prior to the reproofing nixwax.

                    ramblin in dean road south shields sell it, so a guess any decent camping shop or similar shoul sell it.

                    If you can fit in washing machine try a wool wash with out soap powder and dry it properly and a good airing does it for my waterproof gear
