Full details
The Barbour Hereford Wax Jacket is an ideal choice for the outdoor enthusiast who appreciates classic country aesthetics combined with functional warmth. Crafted with a durable 6oz Sylkoil waxed cotton outer and a cozy box-quilted lining, it provides excellent protection against the elements while maintaining a sophisticated look. While it offers superior comfort and utility, users should keep in mind that the waxed cotton finish requires periodic maintenance to preserve its water-resistant properties.

FAQs
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
No, you must never machine wash, dry clean, or tumble dry the jacket as it will destroy the wax finish.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Frequency depends on usage, but typically once a year for regular users is sufficient to keep it weather-resistant.
What does the 6oz Sylkoil mean?
It refers to the weight and type of wax finish applied to the cotton, providing a soft, flexible, and traditional appearance.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
It is highly water-resistant, making it perfect for rain and wind, but it is not intended for use in extreme storm conditions like a technical shell jacket.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the lower patch pockets are spacious, and the internal zipped pocket is specifically designed for secure storage of smaller valuables like phones.
Troubleshooting
The jacket feels dry or loses its water-repellent property.
The wax coating has likely worn off; apply a new layer of Barbour wax dressing following the manufacturer's instructions.
There is light surface dirt on the fabric.
Use a damp cloth with cold water to gently wipe the area clean. Do not use soap or detergent.
The fit feels slightly too loose.
Utilize the rear side tabs to adjust the waist for a more tailored, fitted silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as these methods will strip away the protective wax coating. If the jacket becomes dirty, simply sponge down the surface with cold water. To maintain its water-repellent performance, the garment should be periodically re-waxed using Barbour-approved wax dressing. When storing, keep the jacket in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Because the wax can transfer when warm, avoid leaving the jacket in direct contact with light-colored upholstery or leather goods after a fresh re-waxing.
