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.
