This jacket requires no specific setup other than putting it on. It is designed for adult males and is compatible with various casual and smart-casual clothing styles. The most critical aspect of owning a Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket is understanding its unique care requirements.
Care Instructions:
- Do Not Wash: Never machine wash, tumble dry, dry clean, or use hot water with this jacket. This will strip the wax coating and permanently damage the fabric.
- Sponge Clean Only: For general cleaning, sponge down the outside of the jacket with cold water only. Avoid using soap, detergents, or solvents.
- Re-Waxing: To maintain its water resistance and extend the jacket's life, it will require re-waxing periodically. The frequency depends on usage, but typically once a year is recommended for regular wear. Use Barbour's specific wax dressing and follow the instructions provided with the wax or on the Barbour website. This process helps restore the jacket's protective properties.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat, to prevent the wax from melting or cracking.
