FAQs
How often should I re-wax my Barbour jacket?
It is generally recommended to re-wax your jacket annually, or whenever you notice a decrease in its water repellency or a dulling of the fabric's finish. Regular use and exposure to elements will affect the frequency.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry a Barbour wax jacket. This can strip the wax finish and damage the fabric. Clean using the sponge method described in the care instructions.
What is the best way to store my wax jacket?
Store your jacket hanging up in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing it in plastic, as the waxed cotton needs to breathe. Do not store near direct heat sources.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this jacket?
A regular fit is designed to be comfortable and allow for layering underneath. It is neither too tight nor too loose, providing a balanced silhouette.
Are the cargo pockets waterproof?
While the jacket offers water resistance, the cargo pockets are not designed to be fully waterproof. Avoid storing sensitive electronic devices in them during heavy rain.
What material is the trim made of?
The trim on this jacket is typically made of corduroy, adding a contrasting texture and classic Barbour aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or loses water repellency
This indicates the wax coating may be wearing thin. Re-wax the jacket following the manufacturer's instructions for Barbour wax dressing.
Fabric has a sticky or greasy residue
This can happen if too much wax is applied or if the jacket is stored improperly. Sponge clean gently with cold water and allow to air dry thoroughly. Avoid applying excessive heat.
Jacket appears dull or lacks sheen
A regular re-waxing will restore the jacket's natural sheen and protective properties.
