Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
This jacket requires minimal setup, being ready to wear upon purchase. Compatibility is primarily with adult male apparel.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Sponge clean with cold water and mild soap if necessary. Allow to drip dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Rewaxing: To maintain water repellency, the jacket will require rewaxing periodically. Barbour offers a rewaxing service, or you can purchase their Thornproof Dressing for DIY application. Apply evenly with a soft cloth, avoiding excessive buildup.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid plastic bags, as they can cause the wax finish to become sticky. Hanging is recommended.
- Wax Transfer: In warm conditions, the wax may soften. To prevent transfer to other garments, allow the jacket to cool down before wearing or storing, and avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored clothing.
