Distressed Duke Wax Jacket - Blue - Cotton

The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and climate. Typically, every 12-24 months is recommended, or when you notice the fabric losing its water-repellent finish and the traditional 'sheen' fades.

No, never put a waxed cotton jacket in a washing machine or tumble dryer. Cleaning should be done by sponging with cold water and mild soap, then rinsing and air drying.

In warm conditions, the wax can become softer and may transfer. It is advisable to protect car seats or upholstery if wearing the jacket on a very hot day, especially when it's new or recently re-waxed.

The corduroy collar adds a classic aesthetic and provides a softer feel against the skin. It can be turned up and secured with the chin strap for added protection against wind and rain.

Store your jacket hanging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing it in a plastic bag. If storing for a long period, ensure it is clean and completely dry.

'Distressed' often refers to a pre-worn or aged appearance achieved through specific manufacturing processes, giving the jacket a vintage look from the start. 'Duke' is a classic Barbour jacket model name.

This can be due to the wax. Allow the jacket to air out in a well-ventilated area away from heat. If persistent, a gentle wipe-down with a damp cloth might help, followed by airing.

The jacket may need re-waxing. Follow the instructions for home re-waxing or consider Barbour's professional service to restore its water repellency.

For fresh stains, try to gently wipe them off with a damp cloth immediately. For older or stubborn stains, sponge clean with cold water and mild soap, rinse, and dry naturally. Avoid harsh detergents.

Ensure the outer wax is intact and re-wax if necessary. Allow the jacket to air dry completely after each wear in wet conditions, away from direct heat.
