FAQs

How do I clean my Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket?

Do not machine wash, dry clean, or use soap. The jacket should only be sponge cleaned with cold water. Refer to the care label inside your jacket for specific guidance.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

The frequency depends on how often you wear it and the conditions. For regular use, it's generally recommended to re-wax your jacket once a year to maintain its water resistance and appearance.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The waxed cotton material provides excellent water resistance, protecting you from rain and damp conditions. While highly protective, it is not seam-sealed waterproof like some technical jackets.

Can I wear this jacket in summer?

While it's a durable outerwear piece, waxed cotton can be warm. It's generally best suited for cooler spring, autumn, and winter months. For summer, lighter Barbour styles might be more comfortable.

What is the material composition of the jacket?

The Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket is primarily made from waxed cotton. For the precise composition, always refer to the care label sewn into your specific garment.

What if my jacket gets very dirty?

For stubborn dirt, gently brush off dried mud and then sponge clean the affected area with cold water. For significant grime, consider sending it to a specialist Barbour re-proofing service rather than attempting aggressive cleaning yourself.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable

This is normal for new wax jackets. Wear the jacket regularly; the material will soften and mould to your body over time, becoming more comfortable.

Wax residue transferring to other items

New wax jackets can sometimes transfer a small amount of wax. Avoid prolonged contact with light-coloured fabrics, especially when new. A light lint roller can help remove any superficial residue.

Jacket is losing its water resistance

This indicates the jacket needs to be re-waxed. Purchase Barbour's specific wax dressing and follow the re-waxing instructions carefully to restore its protective qualities.

Unpleasant smell from the jacket

Waxed cotton jackets can sometimes develop a smell if stored in damp conditions. Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not attempt to wash it.

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.
