FAQs

How do I clean my Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket?

Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean. For dirt, let it dry and brush off. For stubborn marks, wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid soap or detergents. Always refer to the care label.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

The frequency depends on usage. For regular wear, re-waxing once a year is often recommended, especially on areas subject to friction. You'll notice it's needed when water stops beading on the fabric and it starts to soak through.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

While highly water-resistant and protective against rain, it is not fully waterproof like a hardshell jacket. It offers excellent protection in light to moderate rain and drizzles, but extreme, prolonged downpours might eventually penetrate, especially if not recently re-waxed.

What is the fit like for the Corbridge Wax Jacket?

The Corbridge is generally designed with a 'tailored' or 'regular' fit, allowing for comfortable layering without being overly baggy. We recommend checking the brand's size guide for specific measurements to ensure the best fit.

Can I wear this jacket in colder temperatures?

The Corbridge Wax Jacket provides a good outer layer against wind and moderate cold. For colder temperatures, it is designed to accommodate layering underneath. Consider adding a warm sweater or fleece for optimal comfort.

What is the main material of this jacket?

This specific variant of the Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket is made with waxed Nylon, giving it its characteristic weather-resistant properties and durable feel. Always check the specific care label for precise composition.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or rigid

This is common with new wax jackets. Regular wear will gradually soften the fabric and make it more comfortable over time.

Wax residue transferring to other garments or surfaces

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it or wearing it with lighter fabrics. During warmer weather, the wax can soften; store separately or in a garment bag. This is a characteristic of wax garments.

Water no longer beads on the fabric, and it wets out

The jacket likely needs re-waxing. Refer to Barbour's specific re-waxing instructions or consult a professional for proper application of wax dressing to restore water repellency.

Unpleasant odor develops

This can happen if the jacket is stored wet or in a damp environment. Air the jacket thoroughly in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Do not attempt to wash it.

Small tears or holes in the fabric

For minor repairs, Barbour offers repair kits or services. Attempting DIY repairs without proper materials can compromise the wax finish. Consult the manufacturer or a specialist for durable repairs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against wind and rain
  • Ample and secure storage with multiple pockets
  • Timeless and classic aesthetic
  • Durable construction designed for longevity
  • Versatile for various casual and outdoor settings

Cons

  • Requires specific care, cannot be machine washed
  • May feel stiff initially until broken in
  • Wax finish can potentially transfer to other materials if not fully cured or stored properly
  • Not designed for extreme cold without additional layering
  • Info needed: May require re-waxing over time to maintain water repellency

This jacket does not require any specific 'setup' other than choosing the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is compatible with a wide range of casual and semi-formal attire, layering well over sweaters, shirts, or light fleeces.

Care Instructions

Crucially, do not wash this jacket. Its waxed composition requires specialized care to maintain its weather-resistant properties. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

  • Cleaning: For general dirt, allow the mud to dry, then brush it off with a soft brush. For stubborn marks, wipe clean with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use soap or detergents as these can remove the wax coating.
  • Drying: Always air dry your jacket naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires, which can damage the wax.
  • Re-waxing: Over time, areas subject to friction (e.g., seams, elbows, pockets) may lose their wax coating, reducing water repellency. Barbour offers proprietary wax dressing for re-waxing. This process helps restore the jacket's protective qualities and prolong its lifespan. It typically involves applying a thin layer of wax dressing, melting it into the fabric with a hairdryer, and allowing it to cure.
  • Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it folded for long periods, as this can create permanent creases. Hang it on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape.
