Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Barbour jacket in optimal condition, adhere to the following guidelines:
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean. This garment should be cleaned by sponging or wiping with cold water only. This maintains the integrity of the wax coating that provides water resistance.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and raglan shoulders. Avoid storing in humid closets for long periods.
- Refinishing: Over time, you may need to re-wax the cotton to maintain its water-repellent properties. Use official Barbour wax dressing for this process.
- Compatibility: The coat is intended as an outer shell. Because it is a relaxed fit, it pairs perfectly with standard mid-layers but may be bulky if worn under other heavy coats.
