FAQs
Can I wash my Barbour wax jacket in a washing machine?
No. Never machine wash or dry clean a waxed jacket, as it will permanently damage the wax coating and the fabric.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
It depends on how often you wear it. Generally, once every 12 to 18 months is recommended for average use, or whenever you notice water no longer beads off the fabric.
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
It serves as a great outer shell, but because it is not heavily insulated, it is best worn with additional warm layers like knitwear or a fleece underneath during colder months.
What should I do if the jacket gets wet?
Hang it up to dry naturally in a well-ventilated room. Avoid placing it near direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, as this can dry out the wax.
How do the sizes run?
The Barbour Short Bedale generally follows standard adult sizing. It is designed to allow for layering, so choose your usual size for a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
The jacket is losing its water repellency
Re-wax the cotton fabric using official Barbour wax dressing to restore the protective layer.
There is a slight waxy residue or odor
This is normal for new waxed garments. Air the jacket out in a cool, dry place for a few days to minimize the initial scent.
Dirt or debris on the fabric surface
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with cold water to gently clean the surface. Do not use soap or detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Short Bedale is constructed from waxed cotton, it is essential to avoid dry cleaning or machine washing, as these processes will strip the protective wax coating. To keep the jacket in peak condition, hang it on a wide, sturdy hanger to maintain its shape. If the fabric begins to look dry or loses its water-shedding ability, you should apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing using a sponge and a hair dryer to help the wax absorb into the cotton. For sizing, the jacket is designed for adult male proportions; ensure you check your measurements to achieve the desired fit, keeping in mind that you may want extra room underneath for heavier layers.
