FAQs

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and climate. Typically, re-waxing every 1-3 years is sufficient, or when you notice a reduction in water repellency.

Can I iron this jacket?

No, do not iron the jacket. Ironing will damage the wax finish and the fabric.

What is the best way to store the jacket?

Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid folding it tightly or storing it in plastic.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers good protection against moderate rain and wind. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, consider additional waterproofing measures or a more specialized rain jacket.

How do I clean the corduroy collar?

The corduroy collar can be cleaned by gently brushing with a soft brush or sponging with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.

What does 'Distressed' mean in the product title?

'Distressed' typically refers to a pre-worn or vintage look achieved through specific finishing processes, giving the jacket a unique character from the outset.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after cleaning

This is normal for waxed cotton. Allow it to acclimatize to room temperature. If stiffness persists, re-waxing may be necessary.

Wax transfer to other clothing

Ensure the jacket is fully dry and cured after any re-waxing. Avoid prolonged contact with very light-colored fabrics, especially in warm conditions.

Reduced water repellency

The jacket requires re-waxing. Follow the care instructions for applying a new coat of wax dressing.

Waxy residue on surfaces

This can occur if the jacket is stored in warm conditions. Wipe down affected surfaces with a damp cloth and allow the jacket to dry in a cool, well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear upon purchase.

Compatibility: This jacket is suitable for adult men. Its design is versatile for pairing with a range of clothing, from t-shirts to sweaters.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean. Sponge clean with cold water using a mild soap or a specialized wax jacket cleaner.
  • Drying: Allow the jacket to drip dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires.
  • Re-waxing: To maintain water repellency, the jacket may need re-waxing periodically. Use a Barbour Waxed Cotton Dressing or a similar product as per its instructions. Apply wax evenly with a cloth, and allow it to dry thoroughly.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can cause the wax to sweat.
