FAQs

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

No. Machine washing will permanently strip the wax coating and ruin the jacket's weather-resistant properties.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood on the Classic Tartan Durham Wax Jacket is a fixed design for maximum protection.

How often do I need to re-wax the jacket?

We recommend re-waxing once a year depending on the frequency of use and the harshness of the weather conditions it is exposed to.

What is the fit of the XXL size?

The XXL is designed for a generous fit, suitable for those who prefer room to layer warm clothing underneath.

What should I do if the jacket gets soaked?

Shake off excess water and hang it to dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated room. Keep it away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Troubleshooting

The jacket surface looks dry or dull

The wax coating has worn off; apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing following the instructions on the tin.

Dirt or mud is stuck on the fabric

Allow the mud to dry, then brush it off gently with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe away remaining residue.

The jacket has a slight oily smell

This is normal for new or freshly waxed garments. The odor will dissipate naturally after the jacket has been aired out and worn outdoors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is ready to wear straight out of the package. Because of its wax coating, it should never be dry cleaned or machine washed, as this will strip the protective oils.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use cold water and a sponge to gently remove surface dirt or mud. Do not use soap or detergents.
  2. Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew.
  3. Maintenance: To keep the jacket water-repellent, re-apply Barbour wax dressing annually or whenever you notice the fabric appearing dry or losing its sheen.
  4. Fit: This model is sized as an XXL; it is designed to allow for comfortable movement, making it compatible with mid-weight layering underneath.
