Setup, Compatibility & Care
Unlike standard garments, your Barbour waxed jacket requires a hands-off approach to cleaning. Never use a washing machine or dry cleaner, as this will strip away the protective wax finish. To clean the exterior, simply use a sponge and cold water to wipe away dirt or dried mud. Over time, as the jacket loses its water-repellent properties, you can re-apply a specialized wax dressing to restore its protective coating. For storage, always hang the jacket in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the wax from drying out or damaging internal linings. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it for long periods.
