FAQs

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will strip the wax coating and damage the fabric. Always spot clean with cold water.

How often should I rewax my jacket?

It depends on frequency of use. Generally, once a year is sufficient for most owners, but high-use jackets may require it more often.

Is the jacket warm enough for deep winter?

While wind-resistant, it is not an insulated down jacket. It is best used as a shell, layered over sweaters for colder conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

The Carville model generally fits true to size. If you plan on layering with thick sweaters, consider if you prefer a more tailored or relaxed fit.

Does the wax rub off on other clothes?

A brand-new jacket might feel slightly tacky. It is best to avoid wearing the jacket against delicate, light-colored fabrics until it has been 'broken in' through wear.

Troubleshooting

The jacket is losing its water-repellent properties.

This is normal over time; the jacket requires a fresh application of wax dressing to restore the finish.

There is a slight waxy smell or residue on the jacket.

Newer wax jackets often have a distinct scent or feel; this will dissipate with time and regular wear.

Dirt has accumulated on the surface.

Use a sponge dampened with cold water to gently wipe away debris. Never machine wash or dry clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Do not use soap or detergent. Clean the exterior by sponging it down with cold water only.
  2. Rewaxing: Depending on usage, the wax coating will wear off over time. Apply Barbour wax dressing periodically to restore water resistance.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as this can lead to mildew.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket features a versatile fit that accommodates standard base and mid-layers, making it easy to integrate into your existing wardrobe.
