Full details

The Barbour Wren Waxed Jacket is designed for adult females seeking a stylish and functional outerwear piece for transitional weather. Its key benefit is the wax coating that offers protection against light rain, complemented by a classic checkered pattern and gingham trims for a distinctive look. A potential caveat is that the jacket requires specialized cleaning, as it is not machine washable. This jacket combines traditional waxed cotton with practical design elements like flap pockets and embroidered branding, making it a versatile addition to a wardrobe.

FAQs

How do I clean my Barbour Wren Waxed Jacket?

Do not wash your jacket. Sponge clean it only with a damp cloth. Avoid using soap or harsh detergents.

What is the outer material of the jacket?

The outer material is 100% waxed cotton.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

The wax coating offers protection against light rain. For heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof garment is recommended.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, it is recommended every 1-2 years, or when the jacket loses its water repellency and develops a dull appearance.

What are the gingham trims?

Gingham trims are decorative strips of fabric, often in a checked pattern, used to add a stylish detail to the garment, in this case, enhancing the jacket's overall aesthetic.

What sizes are available?

The jacket is available in various sizes, including XS, S, M, L, and XL, catering to different adult female figures.

Is the jacket warm enough for winter?

The jacket is primarily designed for transitional weather (spring and autumn). For winter, it is best worn as an outer layer with additional warm layers underneath.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or loses water repellency.

The wax coating may need to be refreshed. Follow Barbour's official guide for re-waxing the jacket using their recommended wax.

Minor marks or stains on the fabric.

Gently sponge clean the affected area with a damp cloth. Avoid using soap or detergents.

Jacket feels sticky after cleaning or re-waxing.
