FAQs
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
No, you must never machine wash or dry clean your waxed jacket, as it will destroy the finish and functionality.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Frequency depends on how often you wear it; generally, re-waxing once a year is recommended for moderate use.
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the dense, waxed cotton construction provides excellent wind resistance.
Where are the interior pockets located?
The jacket includes secure interior pockets designed for storing valuables like wallets or smartphones.
Can I wear this in the summer?
While it is a heavy-duty layer, it can be worn in milder seasons depending on your personal comfort preference and layering.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store on a sturdy hanger in a well-ventilated space, away from direct heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less water-repellent than when new
Apply a fresh coat of wax treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions to restore its protective finish.
Surface dirt or mud accumulation
Allow the mud to dry, brush it off gently, and wipe the area clean with a cold, damp sponge.
Jacket smells slightly like wax
This is normal for new wax jackets; hang the garment in a well-ventilated area to allow the natural scent of the wax to dissipate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Ashby jacket is ready to wear immediately upon purchase. Because it is made of waxed cotton, avoid using standard laundry detergents or dry cleaning, as these will strip the wax coating. To clean, wipe the surface down with a damp cloth and cold water. Over time, the garment will need to be re-proofed using Barbour-approved wax treatments to ensure it continues to repel water effectively. Store in a cool, dry place and allow it to air out if exposed to heavy rain.
