Product Information
Full details
The Barbour Re-Engineered Keiss Wax Parka is designed for individuals who value a blend of traditional countryside heritage and modern utility in their outerwear. This jacket provides excellent protection against the elements thanks to its durable waxed cotton finish and extended parka length, making it ideal for casual outdoor use or unpredictable weather. While it offers superior comfort and functional storage, users should note that its relaxed fit may run larger than tailored styles, necessitating careful consideration of sizing for a personal fit.

FAQs
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design but remains adjustable for a secure fit.
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
No, washing machines will ruin the wax coating and the fabric's integrity.
What does 'relaxed fit' mean for sizing?
It means the jacket is cut with more room in the chest and shoulders, allowing for heavier layers underneath.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
It depends on usage; typically, once a year for regular wearers is sufficient to keep it performing optimally.
Is the jacket warm enough for winter?
It is highly wind-resistant, but it is not heavily insulated. It is best used as a shell paired with warm layers.
Where should I store the parka when not in use?
Hang it in a cool, dry place away from heat sources like radiators to prevent the wax from melting or becoming sticky.
Troubleshooting
The jacket feels less water-resistant over time.
Apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to the surface to restore the barrier.
The press-studs are difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the mechanism and clean away any grit that may have built up inside the stud.
The jacket has developed creases or white marks.
This is a natural characteristic of waxed cotton; you can use a hairdryer on a low, warm setting to briefly soften the wax and redistribute it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your parka, avoid machine washing or dry cleaning, as this will strip the protective wax coating. If the jacket becomes dirty, simply use a damp cloth to wipe away surface mud or debris. For long-term care, the jacket will eventually require 're-waxing' using official Barbour wax dressing to maintain its water-repellent properties. Store the jacket in a cool, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the wax from drying out or transferring to other surfaces.
