Troubleshooting

Cape is not water-repellent after some use.

The water-repellent finish may have diminished. Consider using a Barbour re-waterproofing spray suitable for waxed cotton and technical fabrics, following the product's instructions.

Creases or wrinkles in the fabric.

Hang the cape in a steamy bathroom for a short period or iron on a very low setting with a protective cloth, ensuring the iron does not touch the fabric directly.
