FAQs
Can I machine wash the Barbour Carville Jacket?
No, never machine wash a waxed jacket as it will strip the wax coating and damage the fabric.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Frequency depends on usage, but typically once a year for moderate wear to maintain its weatherproofing.
Is the jacket warm enough for winter?
It provides excellent wind protection and serves well as an outer layer in autumn or spring, but may require heavy layering underneath for deep winter temperatures.
What is the fit like?
The jacket features a relaxed fit designed to allow for comfortable layering of sweaters underneath.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are secure with snap buttons, but they are not fully sealed against heavy, prolonged downpours.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff upon arrival
This is normal for new wax-treated cotton; the material will soften and develop a unique character with regular wear.
Jacket is losing its water-repellent properties
The wax coating has likely worn down. Apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to the surface to restore its protection.
Dirt or mud on the outer shell
Allow the mud to dry, brush it off gently, and wipe the area with a cold, damp cloth.
