FAQs
What is the best way to clean this jacket?
Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Sponge clean with cold water and a mild soap if necessary, then allow to drip dry naturally away from heat. Avoid using detergents or solvents.
How often should I rewax my jacket?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Rewax when you notice the fabric losing its water repellency or if it feels dry. Typically, this might be once a year or every few years for moderate use.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The waxed cotton provides good protection against light to moderate rain. For very heavy downpours, additional waterproof outerwear may be advisable, but it is designed to be water-resistant.
How does the cropped fit differ from a standard Beadnell?
The Cropped Beadnell features a shorter hemline compared to the traditional Beadnell, offering a more contemporary silhouette. It's designed to be more fashion-forward and easier to layer over shorter tops or high-waisted bottoms.
What material is the collar made of?
The collar is made of a finely ribbed material, providing comfort and a classic aesthetic detail.
Are the pouch pockets functional?
Yes, the signature pouch pockets are functional and provide convenient storage for small items.
What is the purpose of the maxi elasticated cuffs?
The maxi elasticated cuffs are a modern design feature that helps to provide a snug fit, keeping out wind and improving comfort.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or sticky
This is often due to an uneven wax application or excessive wax. Try hanging the jacket in a warm (not hot) place for a few days to allow the wax to even out. If the issue persists, consult Barbour's specific care guidelines for rewaxing.
Loss of water repellency
The waxed cotton may need rewaxing. Purchase a Barbour Wax Thornproof Dressing and follow the re-waxing instructions carefully. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before application.
Wax stains on other clothing
Wax can transfer, especially when new or in warm conditions. Store the jacket separately and avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored fabrics. If staining occurs, try washing the affected garment according to its care label, though wax stains can be difficult to remove completely.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. You can try applying a small amount of Barbour Wax or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.
