Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket does not require any specific 'setup' out of the box; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure its longevity, observe the following care practices:
- Cleaning: Never wash your waxed jacket in a washing machine or dry clean it, as this will strip away the protective wax coating. Instead, gently sponge off any dirt or mud with cold water.
- Maintenance: Periodically treat the jacket with official Barbour wax dressing to refresh the water-repellent finish. The frequency depends on how often you wear it and the weather conditions it faces.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry area when not in use. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause the wax to dry out or transfer.
