FAQs
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will remove the wax coating and ruin the jacket's waterproof properties.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
It is highly water-resistant due to the waxed cotton finish, making it excellent for rain, but it is not intended for prolonged immersion or torrential downpours.
How often should I re-wax it?
Depending on how often you wear it, re-waxing once a year or whenever you notice the fabric losing its water-repellent finish is recommended.
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the dense weave of the waxed cotton provides a very effective barrier against wind.
Does it come with a hood?
The standard version of the Short Bedale does not come with a hood, though it is compatible with many of Barbour's detachable hood accessories.
Troubleshooting
The wax surface appears dry or loses its sheen.
The jacket needs to be re-waxed using official Barbour wax dressing to restore weather resistance.
The jacket has a slight oily odor.
This is normal for new wax jackets. Hang it in a well-ventilated area for a few days to dissipate the scent.
Zip feels stiff or sticks.
Rub a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to lubricate the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care: Being a waxed cotton garment, the jacket should never be machine washed or dry cleaned. Use cold water and a sponge to clean dirt from the surface. To maintain its waterproof performance, apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing periodically, especially after heavy use.
Storage: Always hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry area. Avoid folding the jacket for long periods to prevent creasing the wax coating.
Compatibility: This jacket is compatible with standard weather-appropriate layering. It is designed to be worn over light-to-medium mid-layers; avoid wearing bulky heavy-duty down jackets underneath, as the tailored cut may become restrictive.
