FAQs
What season is this jacket best suited for?
The Summer Sapper Waxed Jacket is designed for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, offering protection against light rain and wind without being overly warm.
How do I clean my waxed jacket?
Never machine wash or tumble dry. Wipe clean with a damp sponge and cold water. Mild soap can be used sparingly if necessary. Always allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do I need to re-wax the jacket?
Yes, over time the wax finish will naturally wear, reducing water repellency. Re-waxing is recommended periodically to maintain the jacket's protective qualities. Barbour offers specific re-waxing kits and services.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
While waxed cotton provides good water resistance, this jacket is best suited for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof garment might be necessary.
How does the internal waist drawcord work?
The internal drawcord allows you to adjust the fit around the waist. Pulling it tighter creates a more cinched silhouette, while loosening it provides a straighter fit.
What is the tartan lining made of?
The tartan lining is a signature Barbour detail, adding a classic British heritage touch to the interior of the jacket. The exact material composition of the lining can be found on the product's care label.
How should I store my waxed jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it in plastic, as this can cause the wax to transfer. Hanging is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels sticky or leaves residue.
This can happen if the jacket is stored in excessive heat. Allow the jacket to cool in a well-ventilated area. If residue persists, gently wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
Water repellency has decreased.
The wax coating may need reapplication. Refer to Barbour's official guidelines for re-waxing your jacket. This process will restore its water-resistant properties.
Jacket has a strong wax odor.
A new wax jacket will have a distinct smell. Air the jacket out in a well-ventilated space for a few days. The scent typically diminishes with wear and airing.
Minor scuffs or marks on the fabric.
For minor marks, try wiping gently with a damp cloth. Deeper scuffs may require professional cleaning or re-waxing to camouflage.
