FAQs
Can I machine wash my Barbour Duke Wax Jacket?
No. Machine washing will remove the protective wax coating and damage the fabric. Always use a cold damp cloth for spot cleaning.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
It depends on how often you wear it. For regular use, once a year is recommended to keep the jacket fully weather-resistant.
Will the wax rub off on my car seats or other clothes?
When newly waxed, the fabric can feel slightly tacky. It is best to avoid contact with light-colored fabrics until the wax has fully cured and settled into the cotton.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
The jacket is designed for wind and rain protection rather than extreme insulation. It works best as an outer shell over sweaters or thermal layers.
What is the benefit of the corduroy collar?
The corduroy collar provides comfort against the neck when the collar is turned up to block wind, and it serves as a heritage design signature of Barbour jackets.
Troubleshooting
The jacket feels dry or loses its water-repellent sheen
This indicates the wax coating has worn thin; apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing according to product instructions.
There is a persistent stain on the outer fabric
Spot clean gently with cold water; if the stain persists, consult a professional cleaner specializing in waxed garments.
The zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of dirt; if it remains stiff, apply a small amount of non-staining silicone lubricant or rub with a graphite pencil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Barbour Duke Wax Jacket in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Never use soap or detergents. Clean the exterior by wiping with a cold damp sponge or cloth only.
- Re-waxing: Depending on usage, the jacket should be professionally re-waxed or treated with Barbour wax dressing annually to restore its water-repellent barrier.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it in plastic bags or near heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the wax.
- Compatibility: The jacket layers well over knitwear or flannel shirts, making it a staple for mid-season temperatures.
