The Barbour Arlene Wax Jacket is an ideal choice for adults seeking a blend of classic heritage style and modern utility. This transportation-inspired jacket offers reliable weather protection through its durable waxed cotton construction, making it perfect for damp, transitional weather. While it provides excellent protection against the elements, potential buyers should note that it requires specific care and cannot be machine washed, necessitating a strictly sponge-clean approach to maintain the integrity of the wax finish.

No. Machine washing will remove the wax treatment and ruin the finish of the garment. Always use a sponge and cold water.
It is designed as a transitional piece. While the wax provides wind protection, you may need to layer a sweater underneath for colder temperatures.
Hang it up to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or heaters.
When new, it is best to avoid contact with light-colored upholstery or delicate fabrics until the wax has fully settled into the cotton.
This depends on frequency of wear. If you notice the fabric looking dry or water no longer beads on the surface, it is time to re-wax.
This is normal for new waxed garments. The feeling will dissipate as the wax sets into the cotton fibers over time.
Gently wipe the area with a cold, damp sponge. Do not scrub aggressively, as this can affect the texture of the wax.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it remains stiff, lightly rub a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.
This garment is ready to wear immediately upon purchase. Because it is made of traditional waxed cotton, you should avoid storing the jacket in plastic garment bags, as the material needs to breathe. To maintain the jacket's weather-resistant properties, keep it clean by using only a cold water sponge wash; never use detergents, soaps, or chemical cleaners, as these will strip the wax finish. If the wax coating eventually wears thin, the jacket can be re-waxed to restore its water-repellent capabilities. Avoid high heat sources like radiators when drying the jacket, as this can damage the fabric and the wax coating.
