FAQs
Can I machine wash this jacket?
No. Machine washing will strip the wax finish and damage the garment. Always clean by hand with cold water only.
Does the Spey Wax Jacket come with a hood?
This specific model features a collar with a tab and button fastening but does not include a hood.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Frequency depends on usage, but typically once a year is sufficient for jackets worn regularly to maintain water resistance.
What is the chest ring detail for?
The chest ring is a classic design feature derived from heritage fishing jackets, providing a functional spot to attach accessories.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy snow?
While highly weather-resistant, it is primarily designed for wind and rain protection and is not intended for high-altitude, extreme winter conditions.
What does the regular fit mean for sizing?
Regular fit implies a classic cut with room for layering, providing a standard, comfortable look rather than a tight or oversized aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
The jacket is losing its water repellency
Apply a new coat of Barbour wax dressing following the manufacturer's specific instructions for waxed cotton.
Surface dirt and dust accumulation
Use a soft brush or a damp sponge with cold, clean water to gently wipe the exterior of the fabric.
Wax transfer to upholstery or clothing
Ensure the jacket is properly cured after re-waxing; if it feels excessively tacky, buff the surface with a lint-free cloth or use a hair dryer on a low setting to help the wax absorb.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, avoid storing it in plastic bags or damp environments. When the garment begins to lose its water-beading capability, it is time to apply a reproofing wax. Cleaning should be done strictly by hand; use a cold sponge with water only, as detergents can strip the wax coating. The jacket is compatible with most standard casual outfits, pairing exceptionally well with dark denim or chinos, and is designed for the regular fit size S. Always allow the jacket to air dry in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the wax coating.
