Barbour Re-Engineered Blackett Spey Waxed Jacket - Green - L

No, this jacket is made of waxed cotton and must not be machine washed. Cleaning should be done by sponge cleaning only.

The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environment. Typically, every 12-18 months is sufficient. You'll notice a loss of water repellency or a dulling of the finish when it's time to re-wax.

Store your waxed jacket in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as this can cause the wax to sweat. Hanging is recommended.

The needlecord collar provides extra comfort around the neck and helps to keep out wind and rain.

While the pockets are designed to keep rain out, they are not fully waterproof. It's best to keep sensitive electronic devices in a waterproof pouch within the pockets.

The jacket offers good protection against moderate rain and showers due to its waxed finish. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear may be advisable.

This is normal for a waxed jacket, especially in cold weather or when new. Gentle warming (e.g., by wearing it) will soften the wax. If excessive, consult Barbour care guidelines for re-waxing.

Ensure the jacket is not stored in direct contact with other items, especially in warm conditions. Allow the jacket to 'settle' after purchase or re-waxing. You can gently wipe down the interior lining if significant transfer occurs.

The wax coating may need replenishing. Follow Barbour's official re-waxing instructions using their recommended wax dressing.

Most minor marks can be gently wiped away with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a light application of the jacket's own wax can sometimes help disguise them.
