FAQs

Can I wash the Barbour Carville Wax Jacket in a machine?

No, you should never machine wash or dry clean a waxed cotton jacket. This will permanently ruin the finish and water-resistant properties.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

This depends on how often you wear it. If you notice water no longer beads off the fabric, it is time to re-apply the wax.

Is this jacket suitable for winter?

It provides good wind protection, but for extreme winter temperatures, it is best worn with additional insulating layers underneath.

What should I do if the jacket gets wet?

Shake off excess water and hang it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated room. Avoid using heat sources like radiators or hair dryers.

Does the wax feel greasy to the touch?

When new or freshly re-waxed, there may be a slight waxy feel. This is normal and will settle down as the wax settles into the fabric fibers.

Troubleshooting

The jacket is no longer repelling water effectively

The wax coating has likely worn off. Apply a re-proofing wax dressing to the surface of the jacket following the manufacturer's instructions.

The jacket has surface dirt or dried mud

Do not put the jacket in the washing machine. Gently brush off the dirt or wipe the area with a damp sponge using cold water.

There is a musty smell after storage

Ensure the jacket is completely dry, then hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight for a few hours to air it out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind and water resistance
  • Sophisticated, timeless design aesthetic
  • High-durability cotton fabric for long lifespan
  • Versatile for various outdoor activities and casual settings

Cons

  • Requires periodic re-waxing to maintain performance
  • Not machine washable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a waxed cotton garment, proper care is essential to extend the life of your jacket. Avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as this will strip the wax coating and damage the fabric's protective qualities. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt or mud. Over time, as the water-repellent finish fades, you should apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing to the fabric to restore its performance. Store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, and avoid folding it while it is damp to prevent mold or wax transfer.
