Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket - Brown

No, this jacket should not be machine washed, dry cleaned, ironed, or tumble dried. Washing can damage the wax coating and compromise the jacket's weatherproofing. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

For general dirt, allow it to dry and then brush it off. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with cold water to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid using hot water or soap.

Info needed: While specific timing depends on wear, it's generally recommended to re-wax your jacket annually or when you notice dry patches or a reduction in water repellency. Use Barbour Thornproof Dressing for best results.

The waxed cotton material provides excellent water resistance, repelling rain and keeping you dry in most wet conditions. It is highly water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, meaning prolonged exposure to heavy downpours might eventually penetrate.

The Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket is made from high-quality cotton, which is typically treated with a special wax finish to give it its distinctive feel and weather-resistant properties.

This jacket is primarily designed for cooler weather, making it suitable for autumn, winter, and early spring. Its protective qualities make it an excellent choice for transitional seasons with unpredictable weather.

Freshly re-waxed jackets can sometimes leave a slight residue, especially if over-applied. Once the wax has settled and cured, transfer is minimal. Storing the jacket properly and allowing freshly re-waxed areas to dry thoroughly can prevent this.

This is normal for new waxed cotton jackets. Wear the jacket regularly; it will soften and mold to your body over time, becoming more comfortable.

Your jacket likely needs to be re-waxed. Purchase Barbour Thornproof Dressing and follow the instructions for re-applying the wax evenly across the jacket's surface.

A distinct waxy smell is characteristic of new waxed cotton garments. It typically dissipates with wear and exposure to fresh air over a few weeks. Store in a well-ventilated area.

Use a sponge or soft cloth dampened with *cold water* to gently wipe away the dirt. Avoid scrubbing vigorously or using hot water/soap, as this can remove the wax.
