FAQs
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
No, you must never machine wash a wax jacket. It will ruin the wax coating. Only spot clean with cold water.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the Carville Wax Jacket features a detachable hood for added styling and functionality.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
This depends on frequency of use, but generally once a year or whenever the jacket starts losing its water-repellency.
Does the jacket fit true to size?
The Carville Wax Jacket is designed as an outer layer. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may prefer a slightly roomier fit.
Can I store the jacket in a plastic bag?
It is strongly advised against. Always store in a breathable garment bag or on a hanger in a closet to prevent mold.
Troubleshooting
The jacket surface feels dry or is absorbing water.
The wax coating has worn down. Purchase a Barbour wax dressing and follow the instructions to re-proof the fabric.
There is a slight odor when the jacket is new.
This is normal for waxed cotton. Air the jacket out in a clean, dry, well-ventilated space for 24 hours.
Surface marks or creases appearing.
Waxed cotton naturally develops a patina over time. You can soften these marks by lightly blow-drying them from a distance to redistribute the wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Barbour Carville Wax Jacket is simple; because it is a structured outer layer, it is best worn over mid-weight sweaters or shirts. To ensure longevity, never wash the jacket in a washing machine or dry clean it, as this will strip the protective wax. Instead, clean it using only cold water and a soft sponge. If the jacket begins to lose its water-repellent finish—typically signified by the fabric looking dry or losing its slight sheen—you should apply a dedicated Barbour wax dressing to restore the surface. Always hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a well-ventilated area when not in use to prevent mildew, especially after it has been exposed to rain.
