The Barbour X Norbit Waxed Ripstop Jacket is designed for adult men who require a rugged, utilitarian outer layer that transitions seamlessly between field use and urban travel. This collaborative piece merges Barbour’s legendary water-resistant waxed cotton finish with the technical, pocket-heavy design philosophy of Norbit, offering exceptional durability and storage; however, users should be aware that the waxed finish requires periodic maintenance to retain its protective properties over time.

It is highly water-resistant due to the Sylkoil wax finish, which effectively sheds rain, though it is not classified as fully waterproof like a seam-sealed technical rain jacket.
No. Machine washing will strip the protective wax finish and damage the integrity of the cotton fabric.
Always hang it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and cause mildew.
While ripstop is designed to prevent tears from growing, consult a professional tailor or contact Barbour’s repair service for specialized care.
The waxed cotton is quite substantial and provides warmth, making it better suited for spring, autumn, and mild winter conditions rather than hot summer days.
The wax coating has worn down; apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing to restore weather resistance.
Use a sponge and cold water to gently wipe the area; do not use soaps or detergents as these will strip the wax.
This is normal for new wax jackets. The cotton will soften significantly after a few uses and exposure to body heat.
Because this garment uses a traditional waxed finish, it should never be dry-cleaned or machine-washed. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt and mud. If the jacket begins to dry out or loses its water repellency, it is recommended to apply a professional-grade wax dressing, which can be melted into the fabric using a hair dryer or by leaving the jacket in a warm room. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, well-ventilated space to prevent mildew. The fit is true to size, but consider how many layers you intend to wear underneath when choosing your size.
