FAQs

How often should I apply the Barbour Wax Thornproof Dressing?

Ideally, apply the dressing annually. For jackets used frequently or in harsh conditions, more frequent applications may be necessary.

Can I wash my Barbour jacket?

Yes, but washing should be done sparingly as it removes the wax. Use cold water and a mild soap. Always re-wax the jacket after washing.

How much dressing do I need for my jacket?

A 200ml tin is typically sufficient for multiple jackets. The amount needed depends on the size of the jacket and the extent of the re-dressing.

Can I use this dressing on other types of jackets?

While it can be used on similar waxed cotton jackets, it's primarily designed for Barbour jackets. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

How do I store the Barbour Wax Thornproof Dressing?

Store the tin in a cool, dry place. Make sure the lid is securely closed to prevent the wax from drying out.

What if I get wax on other materials?

If wax gets on other materials, wipe it off quickly. The wax can be challenging to remove once it sets. Try using a clean cloth and gentle heat (like a hairdryer) to remove it.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the jacket.

Re-apply the Barbour Wax Thornproof Dressing, following the application instructions carefully.

The jacket feels stiff after applying the wax.

Apply less wax and ensure the wax is evenly distributed. Heat the jacket evenly using a hairdryer or heat gun.

The wax has left streaks or uneven patches.

Ensure the wax is applied evenly and heat the jacket to help the wax melt and spread uniformly. Use a clean cloth to wipe off excess wax.
