FAQs

Can I machine wash my Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket?

No, absolutely not. Machine washing or dry cleaning will strip the jacket of its protective wax coating and can damage the fabric. Please refer to the care label for specific instructions, which typically recommend wiping clean only.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

The frequency depends on usage, but typically, re-waxing is recommended once a year to maintain its waterproof qualities. If you notice areas losing their water repellency, it's time to re-wax.

What is Sylkoil wax?

Sylkoil wax is a specific type of waxed cotton finish used by Barbour. It's known for its drier, matte finish compared to traditional waxy finishes, while still providing excellent water resistance and durability.

Does the jacket come with a hood?

Yes, the Barbour Corbridge Wax Jacket features a practical stow-away hood with toggles, which can be zipped into the collar when not in use.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket features a quilted lining for warmth and is ideal for colder wet weather. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, you may need to layer additional warm clothing underneath due to its medium-weight construction.

How do I deal with creases or marks on the jacket?

Creases and marks are a natural characteristic of waxed cotton and add to the jacket's unique patina over time. They are generally not defects and contribute to its authentic aesthetic.

What material is the lining made of?

The lining is a 2-inch polyamide quilted 50g wadding, designed to provide warmth and comfort.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff or uncomfortable

Wax jackets, especially new ones, can feel stiff. Wear it frequently; the fabric will soften and mold to your body over time, becoming more comfortable.

Jacket is losing its waterproofing

The wax coating wears down with use. Re-waxing is required. Purchase Barbour Thornproof Dressing or send it to an authorized Barbour re-proofing service.

Jacket smells of mildew

This often occurs if the jacket is stored wet or in a damp environment. Air it out thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. If the smell persists, professional re-waxing might be needed, as they can sometimes clean the fabric underneath.

Wax transfer onto other clothes/furniture

New wax jackets can sometimes shed a bit of wax. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics or upholstery initially. This usually reduces after a few wears and after the first re-waxing.

Care Instructions

  • Do Not Wash: This jacket should *never* be machine washed, dry cleaned, or tumble dried, as this will remove the protective wax coating.
  • Clean with Cold Water: For external dirt, gently wipe the jacket with a cold, damp sponge. Avoid using soap or detergents.
  • Re-waxing: To maintain its waterproof properties and extend its lifespan, your jacket will require re-waxing annually or as needed. Barbour offers specific wax dressings and services for this. Follow the instructions on Barbour's re-proofing wax tins.
  • Drying: Always allow the jacket to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a warm cupboard, which could cause mildew.
