FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant thanks to its cotton construction, but it is not fully waterproof. It will protect you from light rain, but heavy downpours may penetrate the fabric over time.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
No, machine washing will remove the protective finish and damage the cotton structure. Always spot clean with a damp sponge.
What is the purpose of the throat latch?
The throat latch allows you to pull the collar tight against your neck to prevent cold air from entering the jacket on windy days.
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
Depending on usage, a yearly re-waxing is recommended to keep the jacket in top condition and maintain its water-repellent qualities.
Are the handwarmer pockets separate from the storage pockets?
Yes, the handwarmer pockets are positioned at chest height and lined with moleskin, while the large flap pockets are situated lower for utility storage.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks when opening
Apply a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth to restore smooth movement.
Fabric looks dull or dry
This is a natural occurrence for waxed cotton. Apply a fresh layer of reproofing wax to restore the water-repellent finish and sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a premium cotton garment, proper care is essential to ensure its longevity. Avoid machine washing this jacket, as it can damage the specialized fabric treatment; instead, use a damp cloth to spot-clean any surface dirt. To maintain the jacket's weather resistance, inspect the fabric annually for signs of dryness and re-wax the cotton using an official Barbour wax dressing. When storing, hang the jacket on a broad, sturdy hanger in a cool, well-ventilated area to allow the fabric to breathe. Avoid storing the jacket in plastic bags or damp spaces to prevent mold development on the cotton.
