Product Information
Full details
The Barbour Arlene Checked Wax Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a blend of classic heritage style and reliable outdoor weather protection. Its primary benefit is the durable waxed cotton construction, which provides an effective barrier against the elements while maintaining a sophisticated look. One caveat users should note is that, as a traditional wax garment, it requires periodic maintenance to preserve its water-resistant properties and cannot be machine washed.

FAQs
Can I wash the Barbour Arlene jacket in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will permanently remove the wax coating and damage the fabric. Always sponge clean only.
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
This depends on how often you wear it. If water no longer beads on the surface, it is time to re-wax.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket is water and wind-resistant but is not heavily insulated. It is best used as a shell for layering.
What should I do if my jacket gets soaked?
Hang it up on a sturdy hanger in a well-ventilated room to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Can I have this jacket professionally cleaned?
You should only use professional services that specifically specialize in waxed cotton garments, such as official Barbour repair and reproofing centers.
Troubleshooting
The fabric looks dull or dry
The wax coating may be wearing off; consider applying a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to restore the finish.
Surface dirt on the jacket
Gently wipe the area with a cold, damp sponge. Do not scrub harshly or use hot water.
The jacket has a slight wax odor
This is normal for new wax garments. Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated, cool area and the scent will dissipate over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Barbour Arlene Jacket does not require a formal 'setup' process; however, it does demand specific care to maintain its functional longevity. Avoid folding the jacket tightly for long periods to prevent creases in the wax. Cleaning should be limited to wiping the outer surface with a cold, damp sponge; never use soaps, detergents, or dry cleaning services as these will strip the wax protection. If the jacket loses its water-repellent efficiency over time, you can apply a re-waxing agent to the fabric to restore its performance.
