FAQs
Can I wash my Barbour wax jacket in a washing machine?
No. Never use a washing machine, hot water, or dry cleaning services as these will permanently strip the wax and ruin the garment.
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
The frequency depends on usage. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, it is time for a re-waxing.
What is the best way to store a waxed jacket?
Store it in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the wax from melting or becoming rancid.
Is the Barbour Icons Transport jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket is designed for weather resistance and light insulation; for extreme cold, it is recommended to layer appropriate knitwear underneath.
Can I wear my wax jacket over a suit?
Yes, the versatile design allows for layering over formal or casual attire depending on the fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket surface looks dull or dry
The wax layer may need refreshing. Apply a fresh coat of wax dressing following the manufacturer's instructions.
Jacket feels stiff during initial wear
Waxed cotton naturally softens with body heat and regular use; continue wearing it to break in the fabric.
Stains on the surface
Use only a damp sponge with plain cold water. Avoid soaps and detergents as they will ruin the wax finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Barbour jacket remains in peak condition, avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as these processes strip the wax finish. Instead, clean the jacket by wiping it down with a damp cloth and cold water. If the jacket loses its water-repellent effectiveness over time, you can re-apply Barbour wax dressing to specific areas. Store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources which can damage the wax coating.
