Full details
The Gant Barn Jacket is designed for the modern adult male who values a rugged, classic aesthetic paired with practical, functional detailing. This regular-fit piece provides excellent durability through its waxed cotton-polyamide blend and keeps you comfortable with a checked cotton lining and ventilated underarm eyelets; however, the wax finish requires specific maintenance and cannot be machine washed, which may be a drawback for those seeking low-maintenance apparel.

FAQs
Is the Gant Barn Jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to the waxed cotton-polyamide blend, which is excellent for light rain and wind, though it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I iron this jacket?
No, you should avoid ironing the jacket as the heat can damage the wax coating and the lining materials.
How should I store the jacket during summer?
Store it on a wide hanger in a cool, dry closet. Avoid plastic garment bags, which can trap moisture and cause mold; use a breathable cotton garment cover instead.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this jacket?
It means the jacket has a classic, comfortable cut with enough room for layering a sweater or shirt underneath without restricting movement.
Does the corduroy collar require special treatment?
Keep the collar dry and free of lint. If it collects dust, use a soft-bristled clothes brush to gently clean the texture.
Troubleshooting
The two-way zipper is sticking
Ensure the bottom slider is fully seated and the teeth are clear of fabric. You can gently rub a graphite pencil lead over the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
Fabric appears dry or loses sheen
This is normal for waxed garments. Re-apply a thin layer of wax treatment specifically designed for waxed cotton apparel to restore protection.
Creases forming in the fabric
Waxed cotton naturally develops creases with wear, which adds to the character of the jacket. If you wish to soften them, hang the jacket in a warm, dry area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the waxed finish, this jacket should never be put in a washing machine or dry-cleaned. If the jacket becomes soiled, gently spot clean it with cold water and a soft brush or sponge. Should the wax finish dry out over time or lose its weather-resistant properties, you can re-apply a professional-grade fabric wax according to the manufacturer's instructions. When not in use, store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, preferably on a sturdy wooden or padded hanger to preserve the shape of the corduroy collar and shoulders.
