FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the wax coating?

Can I machine wash this jacket?

No, the jacket should never be machine washed. Care instructions specify 'sponge clean only' to preserve the wax finish and fabric integrity.

How should I clean the jacket if it gets dirty?

You should sponge clean the jacket using only a damp cloth. Avoid using detergents or washing machines.

What material is the jacket made of?

The outer shell is made of 100% waxed cotton, and the inner lining is 100% polyester.

Are the pockets secure?

What does the 'XL' size indicate?

XL refers to the size of the jacket, suitable for adult women. It is recommended to check a size chart for specific measurements if unsure.

When is the best time of year to wear this jacket?

This jacket is ideal for 'in-between seasons' like spring and autumn, offering protection against light rain and cool temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff

The waxed cotton may feel stiff initially. Wear the jacket regularly in mild conditions to help it break in and become more supple. Avoid excessive heat or washing, which can damage the wax treatment.

Water repellency seems reduced

The wax coating may diminish over time. Consider re-waxing the jacket following Barbour's official instructions to restore its water-resistant properties.

Stains on the fabric

For minor stains, attempt to gently sponge clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult Barbour's official care recommendations or a professional garment cleaner experienced with waxed cotton.
