FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather with light rain or wind. It provides a good degree of water resistance but is not designed for heavy downpours or extreme cold.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket folded or on a hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as this can prevent the fabric from breathing and potentially lead to mildew.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

No, this jacket is sponge clean only. Machine washing will damage the waxed finish and potentially the fabric itself.

What is the purpose of the corduroy collar?

The corduroy collar adds a traditional aesthetic detail and provides a softer feel against the neck compared to traditional waxed cotton.

What does 'OS Transporter' refer to?

'OS' often refers to 'Oversized' in Barbour's naming conventions, suggesting a relaxed fit. 'Transporter' indicates its suitability for travel or daily use.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, re-waxing is recommended every 1-3 years, or when you notice a decrease in water repellency.

What are the specific dimensions of the size XS?

Specific garment measurements are best obtained from the retailer's sizing chart or by contacting customer service, as they can vary slightly.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after cleaning.

This is normal for waxed cotton. Allow it to air dry completely. Re-waxing may help restore suppleness if needed.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

The jacket may need re-waxing. Refer to Barbour's official guides for the re-waxing process or consult a professional cleaning service experienced with waxed garments.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it. A small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly if the issue persists.
