FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Marron Wax Jacket is designed for light rain and cool, breezy conditions. It offers protection against drizzle but is not intended for heavy downpours or extreme cold.
How do I clean the jacket?
You should never machine wash or tumble dry the jacket. Clean it by sponging with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or to restore the wax, use specialized Barbour wax products and follow their instructions carefully.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
While the jacket offers wind and light rain protection, it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering with a warm sweater or fleece underneath is recommended.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
The frequency of re-waxing depends on usage and environmental conditions. Typically, re-waxing is recommended annually or when you notice the fabric is no longer beading water effectively.
What is the inner lining made of?
The inner lining is a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, providing a comfortable feel against the skin.
Does the jacket have a hood?
This particular model, the Marron Wax Jacket, does not come with an integrated hood. It is designed as a collar jacket.
What does 'waxed cotton' mean for the jacket's performance?
Waxed cotton is treated with wax to make it water-resistant and wind-resistant. It provides a durable outer shell that can develop a unique patina over time.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after cleaning
Ensure the jacket has been allowed to air dry completely. Stiffness can occur if dried too quickly or near heat. If necessary, a light re-waxing may help restore suppleness.
Wax transfer to other clothing
This can happen with new or recently re-waxed jackets. Allow the jacket to cure for a few days after waxing. Store separately or use a protective cover if concerned about transfer.
Reduced water repellency
The waxed finish naturally wears over time. Re-apply Barbour's specialized wax dressing according to the product instructions to restore water resistance.
Slight odor from waxed fabric
A faint odor is normal for waxed cotton. Air the jacket out in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. The smell typically dissipates with wear and airing.
