FAQs
Can I wash the Barbour Carville Wax Jacket in a washing machine?
No. Never put this jacket in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation will permanently destroy the wax coating and damage the fabric.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is highly weather-resistant and excellent for rain showers, but it is not classified as a fully submersible waterproof garment.
Does the wax transfer to other fabrics?
When new or freshly waxed, the fabric may feel slightly tacky. It is best to avoid contact with light-colored upholstery until the wax has fully cured into the cotton fibers.
How do I know when to re-wax?
If water stops beading on the surface or if the fabric starts to look dry and feels less 'oily,' it is time for a re-wax.
Can I wear this in the winter?
The jacket provides a great windproof layer, but it is not insulated. For winter use, it is best to layer a warm sweater or fleece underneath.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or rigid
This is normal for new waxed cotton. The garment will soften and develop a unique character with regular wear.
The jacket is no longer beading water
The wax coating has likely worn thin. Apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing to restore the water-repellent finish.
Surface marks or creases appearing
Waxed cotton is designed to 'patina' over time. These marks are characteristic of the fabric and do not affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Since this jacket comes pre-waxed, there is no setup required; it is ready to wear immediately upon arrival. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use only a damp cloth to wipe away dirt or mud. Never use soap, detergents, or chemical cleaners, as these will strip the wax coating.
- Storage: Always hang your jacket in a well-ventilated area. Do not store it in a compressed plastic bag or a damp environment.
- Re-waxing: Depending on usage, you should re-wax the garment every 12 to 18 months to maintain its weather-resistant properties. This is typically done by applying Barbour wax dressing and warming it with a hairdryer or in a warm room to help the wax absorb into the fabric.
