FAQs
How do I clean the Barbour OS Transporter Jacket?
The jacket is sponge clean only. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or marks. Do not use soap or detergents. Allow to drip dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
No, absolutely not. Machine washing will damage the waxed finish and the fabric integrity. Always follow the 'Sponge Clean Only' instruction.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and climate. A general guideline is once a year, or when you notice the water repellency diminishing.
What is the purpose of the tartan lining?
The tartan lining is a signature Barbour design element that adds a traditional aesthetic and provides a comfortable inner layer.
Are the raglan sleeves beneficial?
Yes, raglan sleeves are cut to run in one piece from the neck to the armpit, allowing for a wider range of motion and a more comfortable fit, especially when layering.
What material is the collar made of?
The collar is made of corduroy, offering a soft texture and added warmth.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after initial wear.
This is normal for waxed cotton. The fabric will soften with wear and body heat. Avoid excessive flexing in one spot.
Wax residue on other clothing.
Ensure the jacket is fully dry and has not been stored in direct contact with other garments, especially in warm conditions. Allow the jacket to 'air out' if necessary.
Loss of water repellency.
The jacket may require re-waxing. Refer to Barbour's official care instructions for the re-waxing process.
