FAQs

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing, dry cleaning, or using detergents will strip the wax coating and permanently ruin the water-repellent properties of the fabric.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

This depends on how often you wear it. For heavy usage, once a year is recommended. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, it is time to re-wax.

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the dense weave of the waxed cotton provides an excellent barrier against cold winds.

What should I do if the jacket gets wet?

Hang it up to dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated room. Keep it away from direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, as these can melt the wax unevenly.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

While highly water-resistant, it is not a technical waterproof garment. It is best suited for light to moderate rain showers.

Troubleshooting

The jacket is losing its water repellency

The wax layer has likely worn down through regular use. Re-apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing to restore performance.

The fabric feels stiff or noisy

Waxed cotton naturally softens and becomes quieter the more it is worn. Regular use will help break in the fabric.

Dirt or mud on the surface

Allow the mud to dry completely and then brush it off gently with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth to remove any remaining residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket lasts for years, follow these guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Never use soap or detergents. Clean the jacket only by wiping it down with a damp cloth or sponge in cold water.
  • Re-waxing: To maintain water-repellent performance, re-apply Barbour wax dressing periodically. This is typically required once every year depending on how frequently the jacket is worn.
  • Storage: Always hang your jacket in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it while damp in a confined space, as this can encourage mold growth on the waxed fabric.
  • Compatibility: The jacket fits true to size, but consider the amount of layering you intend to wear underneath when selecting your fit.
