FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Marron Wax Jacket is designed for light rain and showers. For heavier downpours, a more robust waterproof garment may be necessary.
How do I maintain the waxed finish?
The jacket should only be sponge cleaned and air dried. Over time, the wax may need to be replenished. Barbour offers re-waxing services or you can use their official re-waxing kits.
Can I machine wash or dry clean the jacket?
No, absolutely not. Machine washing or dry cleaning will strip the wax coating and can severely damage the fabric. Always follow the 'sponge clean only' instruction.
What is the inner lining made of?
The inner lining is a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, providing comfort and durability.
Does the jacket run true to size?
Generally, Barbour jackets are designed to be layered. It's recommended to check the specific size guide provided by the retailer or Barbour, or to consider trying it on if possible, as fit preferences can vary.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket provides moderate warmth and wind resistance. For extreme cold, layering with a warm sweater or fleece underneath is recommended.
What if I notice a strong smell from the jacket?
Waxed jackets can sometimes have a distinct odor. Airing the jacket outdoors in a ventilated space usually helps. Ensure it's properly sponge cleaned and air dried, as washing can worsen odors.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after cleaning
This is normal for waxed cotton. The stiffness will reduce with wear and body heat. Ensure you only sponge clean and air dry.
Wax transfer onto other clothing
Initial wax transfer can occur, especially in warmer temperatures. Allow the jacket to air out completely before wearing it with light-colored clothing. Subsequent wears usually lessen this effect.
Loss of water repellency
The waxed finish needs reapplication periodically. Consider using a Barbour-approved re-waxing service or kit to restore its protective qualities.
Jacket has an odor
Air the jacket outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Avoid washing as it can damage the material and potentially trap odors. Sponge cleaning should be sufficient for most marks.

Care Instructions:
- Do not wash. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the waxed finish.

- Allow the jacket to air dry naturally if it becomes wet. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the wax coating.
