Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no specific 'setup' required for the Barbour Ogston Jacket. However, its longevity depends on proper care:
- Cleaning: The jacket should not be machine washed or dry cleaned. Instead, use a sponge or soft brush with cold water to gently clean the waxed cotton. Avoid using soap or detergents, as they can damage the wax coating.
- Re-Waxing: Over time, the waxed cotton may lose its water-resistant properties. Re-waxing is recommended. Use a wax dressing specifically designed for waxed cotton jackets. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it tightly for extended periods, as this can cause the wax to crack. Ideally, hang it on a sturdy hanger.
- Compatibility: The jacket is compatible with various layers. It can be worn with a sweater or a fleece for added warmth in very cold conditions.
