FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
No, you must never machine wash, dry clean, or tumble dry a waxed cotton jacket as it will ruin the wax coating.
How should I store my Barbour jacket?
Hang it on a wide coat hanger in a cool, well-ventilated space to prevent mildew and protect the wax integrity.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
While the waxed cotton is highly water-resistant, it is not technically waterproof. It is best suited for light to moderate rain showers.
What does the 80g wadding mean?
This refers to the weight of the insulation, providing a light-to-mid-level warmth that is perfect for autumn and early winter temperatures.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the lower studded patch pockets are spacious enough to accommodate most modern smartphones securely.
Troubleshooting
The jacket feels dry or is absorbing water.
The wax coating has depleted; re-apply a Barbour wax dressing or have it professionally re-waxed.
Stubborn surface dirt or mud.
Allow the mud to dry, then brush it off gently with a soft-bristled brush. Wipe remaining spots with a cool, damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, avoid folding it while wet, as this can cause the wax to crack or transfer. If the jacket becomes dirty, use a damp sponge and cold water to gently wipe the surface; never use soaps or detergents, as these will strip the protective wax coating. Over time, the water repellency will decrease, necessitating a re-waxing service. We recommend utilizing official Barbour wax dressing or a professional re-proofing service every 1-2 years depending on frequency of use. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the wax from melting.
