FAQs

How should I choose the right size for the Corbridge Jacket?

The Corbridge jacket features a `tailored fit` and is described as `slim fitting`. It is generally advised to purchase one size up from your normal size for optimal comfort and to allow for layering underneath. For example, if you typically wear a size 38, consider a size 40.

Can I wash my Barbour wax jacket in a washing machine?

No, you should `never machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean` your Barbour wax jacket. Doing so will strip the protective wax coating and damage the fabric. Instead, `sponge clean only` with cold water to remove any dirt.

How often does the jacket need to be re-waxed?

The frequency of re-waxing depends on how often you wear the jacket and the conditions it's exposed to. For regular use, re-waxing every 1-2 years is generally recommended to maintain its waterproof properties and extend its lifespan. Signs it needs re-waxing include dry patches or water no longer beading on the surface.

Does the Corbridge jacket have an internal pocket?

Yes, the jacket includes an `inner zip and patch pocket`, providing a secure place to store valuables such as your phone or wallet.

Is the hood removable?

The hood on the Corbridge jacket is `integral` and designed to `stow away` neatly within the corduroy-lined funnel collar. It is not fully detachable, but it can be hidden when not in use and deployed quickly when needed for wet weather.

What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is specifically designed for `colder wet weather`. Its 6oz Sylkoil waxed cotton provides excellent protection against rain and wind, while the quilted 50g wadding lining adds significant warmth, making it suitable for autumn and winter conditions.

What are the main materials used in this jacket?

The outer shell of the jacket is made from `100% Cotton (Waxed)` with a medium-weight 6oz Sylkoil wax. The inner lining is `100% Polyamide` and features 50g wadding for insulation.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or rigid when new.

New wax jackets, especially Barbour's durable 6oz Sylkoil, often feel stiff at first. Regular wear will gradually soften the waxed cotton, making it more pliable and comfortable over time. Storing the jacket on a hanger, rather than folded tightly, can also help it relax.

Water repellency seems reduced, or dry patches appear.

This is a normal sign that the wax coating is wearing off and the jacket needs re-waxing. Over time, friction and exposure diminish the wax. You can purchase Barbour Thornproof Dressing to re-wax it yourself, following the instructions, or send it to an authorized Barbour re-proofing service to restore its waterproof qualities.

Jacket has a distinct 'waxy' odor.

A new wax jacket may have a characteristic smell from the wax treatment. This typically dissipates with wear, especially when aired out in fresh, open spaces. Avoid storing the jacket in confined, unventilated areas immediately after purchase.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weather protection (wind and rain resistant)
  • Durable and long-lasting 6oz waxed cotton construction
  • Stylish, classic British design with a modern tailored fit
  • Practical storage with multiple secure pockets
  • Integrated stow-away hood for unexpected rain
  • Added warmth from quilted lining for colder conditions
  • Action back allows for good freedom of movement

Cons

  • Requires specific care (no machine washing, needs re-waxing)
  • Slim fit may necessitate sizing up for comfort or layering
  • Can feel stiff initially due to the waxed cotton
  • Potentially heavier than non-waxed jackets

The Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket is ready for immediate wear. To access the integrated hood, simply unzip the collar, pull out the hood, and adjust the toggles for a snug fit. When not needed, it can be neatly stowed back into the collar. Compatibility: This jacket is versatile and pairs well with both casual and smart-casual attire. Its rugged, traditional aesthetic complements outdoor wear, denim, and chinos, making it suitable for a wide range of settings from country pursuits to city wear. Care: Maintaining the waxed cotton is crucial for its longevity and protective qualities. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean this jacket, as this will strip the wax coating and damage the fabric. Instead, `sponge clean only` using cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Periodically, the jacket will require re-waxing to restore its water repellency and preserve its appearance. Barbour offers specific re-waxing products (such as Barbour Thornproof Dressing) and a dedicated re-proofing service. Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for detailed instructions.
