FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

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.

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing will strip the protective wax finish and damage the integrity of the cotton fabric.

How do I store the jacket long-term?

Always hang it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and cause mildew.

What should I do if I get a tear in the ripstop fabric?

While ripstop is designed to prevent tears from growing, consult a professional tailor or contact Barbour’s repair service for specialized care.

Can I wear this jacket in summer?

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.

Troubleshooting

Jacket surface appears dry or faded

The wax coating has worn down; apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing to restore weather resistance.

Stains or dirt on the outer shell

Use a sponge and cold water to gently wipe the area; do not use soaps or detergents as these will strip the wax.

Jacket feels stiff upon first wear

This is normal for new wax jackets. The cotton will soften significantly after a few uses and exposure to body heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable ripstop construction resists snags and tears
  • Water-resistant wax finish protects against rain and wind
  • Versatile storage capacity with numerous pockets
  • Adjustable silhouette via the internal drawstring waist
  • Collaboration design offers a unique aesthetic blend of utility and tradition

Cons

  • Requires periodic re-waxing to maintain full weather protection
  • Waxed fabric is not machine washable
  • Heavier feel compared to non-waxed synthetic shells

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
