Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment arrives ready to wear. Because the Ogston utilizes a wax finish, it is critical to avoid standard washing machines, which will strip the wax and ruin the fabric's water-repelling properties.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use only a cold damp sponge to wipe away surface dirt or mud. Do not use soap or detergents.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy wooden or padded hanger to maintain its shape. Ensure it is stored in a well-ventilated, dry area to prevent mold growth.
- Maintenance: Over time, the wax finish may lose effectiveness. You may need to have the jacket professionally re-waxed or purchase authorized Barbour wax dressing to re-apply the coating periodically to maintain water resistance.
