FAQs

How do I clean my Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket?

You should only sponge clean your jacket with cold water. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, dry clean, or use hot water and detergents, as these methods will remove the wax coating and damage the material.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket is made from 6oz Sylkoil waxed cotton, which provides excellent water resistance, protecting you from rain and damp conditions. While highly water-repellent, it is not considered fully waterproof like a technical shell, especially if the wax coating is not regularly maintained.

Does this jacket have a hood?

Yes, the Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket features a practical stow-away hood with toggles that can be rolled out from the stand collar when needed and discreetly tucked away when not in use.

What material is the jacket made from?

The outer shell is made from Barbour's signature medium weight 6oz Sylkoil waxed cotton. The lining features a 2-inch polyamide quilting with 50g wadding for added warmth.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

The frequency of re-waxing depends on how often you wear the jacket and the conditions it's exposed to. Generally, re-waxing once a year is recommended to maintain its water resistance and appearance. You can purchase Barbour's specific wax dressing for this purpose.

Can I layer clothing underneath this jacket?

Yes, the design and cut of the Corbridge Wax Jacket allow for comfortable layering over sweaters, shirts, or light fleeces, making it versatile for various temperatures and outfits.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or rigid.

This is normal for new waxed cotton jackets. Wear the jacket regularly; it will gradually soften and mold to your body over time, becoming more comfortable.

Jacket is losing its water repellency or looking dry.

The wax coating needs replenishment. This indicates it's time to re-wax your jacket. Purchase Barbour's specific wax dressing and follow the instructions carefully to restore its protective properties.

There are dirt or mud stains on the jacket.

Allow any mud or dirt to dry completely. Then, use a stiff brush to gently brush off loose debris. For remaining marks, use a cold, damp sponge or cloth to wipe the affected area. Do not use soap or detergents.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: The most crucial care instruction is "Sponge clean only". Do not machine wash, tumble dry, dry clean, or use hot water and detergents, as this will strip the wax coating and damage the fabric. To clean, use a damp sponge or cloth with cold water to wipe away dirt. For stubborn mud, allow it to dry and then brush it off.
  • Re-waxing: To maintain the jacket's water resistance and prolong its life, it needs to be re-waxed periodically. The frequency depends on usage, but typically once a year is recommended. Use Barbour's specialized wax dressing following the product instructions. This process restores the protective coating and revives the jacket's appearance.
  • Drying: After use in wet weather, hang the jacket in a well-ventilated area to air dry naturally. Avoid placing it near direct heat sources like radiators or open fires, as this can damage the wax.
  • Storage: Store your jacket in a cool, dry place. Do not store it folded for long periods, as this can cause creases in the wax. Hanging it in a breathable garment bag is ideal. Avoid storing in airtight plastic covers, which can trap moisture and cause mildew.
