FAQs

Can I wash the Barbour Arlene Wax Jacket in a washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash or dry clean a waxed jacket, as it will destroy the wax coating.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

It provides excellent protection against light to moderate rain, but it is not intended to be a technical, fully waterproof rain shell.

How often does the jacket need to be re-waxed?

It depends on usage. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, it is time to re-wax.

Does the jacket come with a hood?

The Arlene design features a traditional corduroy collar but does not typically include an integrated hood.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket is designed with a relaxed fit, meaning it runs true to size with room for comfortable layering underneath.

Troubleshooting

The jacket is losing its water repellency.

This is normal over time; the jacket likely requires a fresh application of Barbour wax dressing.

Surface dirt or dried mud on the fabric.

Simply wipe the area with a cold, damp sponge. Avoid using hot water or harsh soaps as they can strip the wax.

The jacket feels stiff.

Waxed cotton naturally softens with wear and body heat. Regular use will help the fabric conform to your shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Barbour Arlene Wax Jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean. Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt or mud from the surface.
  2. Re-waxing: To maintain water resistance, apply a Barbour wax dressing periodically. The frequency depends on how often you wear it and the severity of the weather.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as the wax requires airflow to prevent moisture buildup.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket is designed for casual wear and fits true to size for most adults, providing a comfortable, relaxed fit that works well with standard casual clothing.
