FAQs

How do I clean the Barbour Wren Waxed Jacket?

The jacket should not be washed in a machine. Clean it by sponging with a damp cloth. For maintenance, use Barbour's specific wax dressing to re-proof the fabric periodically.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The wax coating provides protection against light rain and drizzle. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

What is the material of the jacket?

The outer material is 100% waxed cotton, and the inner lining is 100% polyester.

How should I care for the wax coating?

To maintain the wax coating, avoid washing and opt for sponge cleaning. Re-wax the jacket periodically according to Barbour's instructions to ensure continued water resistance.

Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to accommodate layering. Depending on your preferred fit, consider sizing up if you plan to wear very thick knitwear underneath.

What is the purpose of the gingham trims?

The gingham trims are a stylistic detail that adds a classic touch to the jacket's design.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or sticky.

This can occur with the wax coating. Ensure it's not excessively cold. If it persists, a light warming (e.g., in a warm room, not direct heat) may help soften it. Ensure no excess wax has been applied during re-waxing.

Wax transfer onto other clothing.

Ensure the jacket is fully dry after re-waxing. Avoid prolonged contact with very light-colored or delicate fabrics, especially when new or during warm weather when the wax is softer.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the wax finish.

Small scuffs can often be buffed out gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, re-waxing the affected area can help restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly or setup is required. The jacket is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult women and fits true to size for standard layering. It pairs well with casual and semi-formal attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Do not wash: Avoid machine washing or soaking the jacket.
  • Sponge clean only: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt or stains. For more persistent marks, a specific wax-cotton cleaner may be used, following product instructions.
  • Re-waxing: Over time, the wax coating may diminish. Periodic re-waxing is recommended to maintain water resistance and the jacket's condition. Use Barbour's own wax dressing for best results, applied thinly and evenly with a cloth, then allowed to dry naturally.
