FAQs
How do I clean my Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket?
The jacket should not be machine washed or dry cleaned. It requires sponge cleaning only with cold water and a damp cloth. Avoid using soaps or detergents as they can strip the wax.
Should I size up for this jacket?
Yes, due to its tailored, slim fit, it is strongly advised to purchase one size larger than your usual size for optimal comfort and room for layering.
What is Sylkoil waxed cotton?
Sylkoil is a traditional waxed cotton fabric known for its soft, matte finish and durable, weather-resistant properties. It's designed to protect against rain and wind while offering a classic look.
Is the hood removable?
The hood is integral to the collar but can be easily stowed away when not needed. It is not designed to be fully detached.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Barbour generally recommends re-waxing your jacket once a year, or more frequently if it sees heavy use or constant exposure to wet weather, to maintain its waterproof qualities.
What is the 'action back' feature?
The action back is a design element that incorporates pleats or gussets in the back of the jacket, specifically around the shoulders. This allows for greater freedom of movement without restricting the wearer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
This jacket has a tailored, slim fit. It is recommended to size up. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit for layering, consider exchanging for the next size up.
Water is no longer beading on the fabric
The waxed cotton requires re-waxing to maintain its water repellency. Use a dedicated wax dressing, such as Barbour Thornproof Dressing, and apply according to the product instructions. This should be done annually or as needed.
Jacket has an unpleasant odor or visible dirt
Do not machine wash. Sponge clean the affected areas with cold water and a damp cloth. Avoid soaps or detergents. For persistent odors, air the jacket thoroughly in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing and Fit
The Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket features a tailored, slim fit. For optimal comfort and to allow for layering, it is strongly recommended to purchase one size up from your usual size. For example, if you typically wear a Large, consider an X-Large in this model. This ensures adequate room for movement, especially when utilizing the `action back` feature.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's weather-resistant properties and longevity.
- Do not wash: The jacket is not suitable for machine washing or dry cleaning, as this will remove the wax finish.
- Sponge clean only: To clean dirt or mud, use a damp cloth and cold water. Avoid hot water, soaps, or detergents. Gently wipe the affected area.
- Re-waxing: Over time, the waxed cotton will lose some of its water repellency. Barbour recommends re-waxing your jacket annually, or more frequently depending on use, using Barbour Thornproof Dressing or similar wax products. This process restores the waterproof barrier and extends the life of the jacket. Allow the jacket to dry thoroughly in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store it in plastic bags, as this can encourage mildew.
