FAQs

Can I machine wash my Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket?

No, you must not machine wash, dry clean, or tumble dry your waxed cotton jacket. This will strip the wax coating and damage the fabric.

How do I clean my Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket?

For general cleaning, wipe the jacket with a damp, lint-free cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use cold water and a sponge. Do not use soap or detergents.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

It is generally recommended to re-wax your Barbour jacket annually, or more frequently if you notice water no longer beads on the surface or if the jacket's finish appears dry.

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket is made from durable waxed cotton.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers good protection against light to moderate rain. For sustained heavy downpours, while it provides a good barrier, optimal water resistance is maintained through regular re-waxing.

Can I wear this jacket in warmer weather?

While the cotton material offers some breathability, the wax finish and lining are best suited for cooler temperatures. It may feel too warm in hot weather.

How should I store my Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket?

Store your jacket by hanging it in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable

This is common with new waxed cotton jackets. Wear the jacket regularly; it will gradually soften and conform to your body with use.

Water repellency seems reduced or jacket is absorbing water

It's likely time to re-wax your jacket. Over time, the wax coating can wear off, reducing its protective qualities. Refer to the care instructions for re-waxing guidance.

Jacket has a mildew or musty smell

This often occurs if the jacket was stored while damp. Air out the jacket thoroughly in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Do not attempt to wash it. If persistent, professional re-waxing might be considered, as some services can also address odors.

Wax is transferring onto other clothing or surfaces

Ensure the jacket is completely dry after any re-waxing or if it has been exposed to warmth. Store the jacket separately or hang it away from other garments, especially lighter-coloured items.

Cons

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the jacket's weather-resistant properties and longevity:

  • Do Not Wash: This jacket should not be machine washed, dry cleaned, or tumble dried. Washing can strip the wax coating and damage the fabric.
  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe down the jacket with a damp, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, use cold water and a sponge.
  • Re-waxing: To maintain its water repellency, the jacket should be re-waxed periodically. This is typically recommended once a year, or when you notice water no longer beads on the surface. Barbour offers specific wax dressings for this purpose. Allow the jacket to fully dry before re-waxing.
  • Drying: Always allow your jacket to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires. Never force dry it.
  • Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Avoid folding for extended periods; hanging is preferable to maintain shape.
