I bought a waxed cotton jacket, and after about a month of wear I've noticed that there is serious fading and splotches (see picture). I haven't worn this thing other than in light rain and haven't washed it at all.
Is this normal? Is there a way to darken the really faded spots?
no this isn't normal. where did you buy that thing. If you got it somewhere expensive and you live in the US, even if you are past the return date policy I would return it and make a stink.
I once returned a north face jacket 2 years after I bought it

L.L. Bean, which is weird because they typically make a quality product.
It looks like a ballsack in the thumbnail

LL bean's return policy is dumb nice

its waxed cotton
that what wax looks like with wear
it barely is even noticeable but since ur ocd about little shit, buy a block of beeswax and rub it on ur jacket then take a hair dryer and melt the wax in

It looks to me like there is dirt that got onto the wax. I think it will continue to happen with a waxed jacket of that color
