FAQs
Can I wash my Barbour Beaufort jacket in a machine?
No. Machine washing will strip the wax coating and ruin the fabric's integrity. Use cold water and a sponge only.
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
This depends on frequency of use. Typically, once a year for regular users is recommended to maintain weather resistance.
Where is this jacket made?
Barbour remains a family business with many of its classic waxed jackets hand-finished in the UK.
Is the Beaufort jacket suitable for heavy winter wear?
It provides excellent wind and water protection, but for extreme cold, consider layering with a heavy sweater underneath.
What is the material used for the outer shell?
The jacket is crafted from high-quality waxed cotton, designed for long-term durability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less water-resistant than when new
The wax coating may have worn off in high-friction areas. Apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing.
Surface dirt and mud accumulation
Allow mud to dry and brush it off gently. Use cold water and a clean sponge for stubborn spots.
Jacket smells slightly of wax
This is normal for new or recently rewaxed jackets. Air the garment out in a well-ventilated space until the odor dissipates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a waxed cotton garment, it does not require a traditional setup process, but it does demand specific care. Never attempt to wash this jacket in a washing machine or send it to a dry cleaner, as this will destroy the wax finish. To clean, use a soft sponge and cold water to wipe away dirt. If the jacket begins to lose its water-repellent properties, apply a standard Barbour wax dressing using a soft cloth in a warm environment to ensure even distribution. Store the jacket in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the wax from degrading.
