Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is ready to wear immediately out of the box, though it may feel slightly stiff due to the waxed cotton finish. As you wear it, the cotton will soften and mold to your body shape. Compatibility-wise, the jacket pairs well with knitwear or light layers underneath, though due to its cropped cut, you may prefer standard-length sweaters. For care, avoid machine washing or dry cleaning as these processes strip the wax finish. Instead, wipe down the jacket with a cold, damp cloth to remove dirt. If the water-repellent performance fades over time, apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing using a sponge and a hairdryer to ensure it is evenly absorbed into the fabric.
