Setup, Compatibility & Care
Taking care of your Barbour International Original Waxed Jacket is essential for its longevity. Because it is made of waxed cotton, it should never be machine washed or dry cleaned, as this will strip away the protective finish. To clean, use a soft sponge and cold water to wipe off any dirt. If the jacket begins to dry out or loses its water-shedding capability, you will need to apply a fresh layer of wax dressing. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space, and ensure it is not kept in direct contact with other garments when freshly waxed, as the wax can transfer. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can encourage mold growth.
