FAQs
Can I wash my Barbour Bedale in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will permanently strip the wax coating, which provides the jacket's weather resistance and signature look.
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
This depends on frequency of use. If you notice the fabric looking dry or water no longer beads off the surface, it is time for a re-wax.
Is the Bedale jacket true to size?
The Bedale is designed with a comfortable, relaxed fit to allow for layering, so it generally fits true to size unless you prefer a very slim silhouette.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The Bedale is designed for light showers and wind. While wax cotton is water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof like a dedicated rain jacket.
Are the sleeves adjustable?
The Bedale features internal ribbed storm cuffs which help seal in warmth and keep the sleeves securely in place.
Does the jacket come with a hood?
The standard Bedale does not include a hood, but it is compatible with detachable hoods that can be purchased separately.
Troubleshooting
The jacket feels dry or is no longer repelling water.
The wax coating has likely worn off. The jacket requires a professional re-waxing service to restore its water-resistant properties.
There is a light scent from the wax.
This is a normal characteristic of wax cotton jackets. Airing the jacket out in a well-ventilated room for 24 hours usually reduces the scent.
Dirt has become embedded in the creases.
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt before wiping with a damp sponge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Barbour Bedale is a heritage garment, it does not require complex setup, but it does demand specific care. The most important rule is that you must never wash this jacket in a machine, as doing so will strip away the protective wax coating.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Always use a damp sponge to remove surface dirt and mud. If the jacket is heavily soiled, use cold water and mild soap strictly where necessary.
- Maintenance: To keep the jacket water-resistant, it should be professionally re-waxed periodically, depending on how often it is worn.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid placing it against other delicate fabrics when recently waxed, as the wax can transfer.
Compatibility
- The jacket is compatible with Barbour's range of button-in thermal liners and hoods, allowing for modular temperature control.
