FAQs
Can I wash the Barbour Arlene jacket in a washing machine?
No, you must never machine wash a waxed jacket. Washing will strip away the protective wax coating and damage the fabric.
How do I make the jacket water-resistant again?
You can restore the water resistance by applying a Barbour wax dressing or reproofing treatment to the cotton surface.
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
The Arlene is a lighter-weight waxed jacket designed for transitional weather. It may not provide enough warmth for sub-zero temperatures without additional layering.
Does the jacket come in different sizes?
Yes, this model is available in a variety of sizes, such as XS, S, M, and L, to accommodate different fits.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is crafted from high-quality, durable cotton treated with a traditional wax finish.
Troubleshooting
The jacket surface looks dry or dull
This indicates the wax finish is wearing off. You will need to re-apply a professional wax treatment to restore its water-repellent performance.
Dirt or mud on the exterior
Allow the dirt to dry, then gently brush it off. Use a cold, damp cloth to wipe away any remaining residue. Do not use soap or detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a premium waxed cotton garment, proper maintenance is essential to retain its weather-resistant properties. You should never machine wash or dry clean your jacket, as these processes will strip the protective wax coating. Instead, clean the exterior by wiping it down with a damp cloth using cold water. Over time, as the wax finish wears off, you should re-wax the jacket using Barbour-approved wax products to ensure it continues to repel moisture. Store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent mildew from forming on the waxed surface.
