FAQs
Can I machine wash this jacket?
No, you must never machine wash a waxed cotton jacket. Doing so will permanently strip the wax coating and damage the fabric.
How often should I re-wax my Barbour jacket?
Depending on usage, most owners re-wax their jackets once a year. If you use it daily in heavy rain, you may need to re-wax more frequently.
Is the jacket waterproof?
It is highly water-resistant. While it will keep you dry in most standard rain conditions, it is not categorized as fully waterproof like specialized technical rain shells.
Does the wax transfer to other fabrics?
When the jacket is fresh or freshly re-waxed, it is best to avoid contact with delicate upholstery or light-colored fabrics until the wax has fully set into the cotton fibers.
How do I determine my size?
The Carville model generally follows standard sizing. It is recommended to choose the size that allows for comfortable layering of a sweater underneath.
Troubleshooting
The jacket's water repellency seems to be decreasing.
This is normal over time; the jacket likely needs a fresh application of Barbour wax dressing to restore its protective barrier.
Stains or dirt are on the surface.
Gently wipe the area with a damp cloth or sponge using cold water. Do not scrub harshly as it may damage the wax coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Barbour Carville Wax Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Never use soap or detergents on the waxed fabric. Instead, clean the exterior with a sponge and cold water only.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid plastic covers, which can trap moisture and cause mildew.
- Re-waxing: To maintain water resistance, apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing once every year, or more frequently if you notice the fabric becoming dry or losing its water-repellent sheen.
- Compatibility: The jacket pairs well with traditional knit sweaters, scarves, and denim, making it a versatile staple for casual outdoor ensembles.
