FAQs

Can I wash the Barbour Arlene jacket in a washing machine?

No, you must never machine wash, dry clean, or tumble dry this jacket, as it will strip the wax coating and damage the fabric.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

It depends on usage, but typically once a year for regular wearers is sufficient to keep the jacket weather-resistant.

Is the jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant, designed to protect you from light rain and wind, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.

Does the jacket run true to size?

The Barbour Arlene generally fits true to size, but consider how many layers you intend to wear underneath.

What is the benefit of the corduroy collar?

Beyond the classic style, the corduroy provides a soft texture against the skin, which is more comfortable than the waxed cotton when the collar is turned up.

Troubleshooting

The jacket surface looks dry or dull.

The wax coating has likely worn off; the jacket needs to be re-waxed to restore its water-repellent finish.

Dirt or mud is stuck to the fabric.

Allow the mud to dry completely and brush it off gently. If stains remain, wipe with a damp cold sponge; do not use hot water or soaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
