FAQs

Can I wash this jacket in the washing machine?

No, you must never machine wash or dry clean a wax jacket, as it will destroy the finish and functionality of the cotton.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

This depends on frequency of use. Generally, once a year for light use or every six months for daily wear is recommended.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket is water-resistant, making it excellent for light rain and wind, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.

What is the material composition?

The jacket is constructed from high-quality cotton that has been treated with wax for durability and weather resistance.

How does the size fit?

The Barbour Arlene features a modern, casual silhouette; it is recommended to choose your standard size, allowing for light layering underneath.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading.

The wax coating has worn thin; apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing to the surface.

The jacket has a slight waxy odor.

This is normal for new wax jackets; hang the garment in a well-ventilated area for a few days to dissipate the scent.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Barbour jacket retains its protective properties, avoid dry cleaning or machine washing the garment, as these processes will strip the protective wax. If the jacket becomes dirty, clean it only by wiping the surface with a cold, damp sponge. If you notice water no longer beading on the surface, the garment requires a fresh application of Barbour wax dressing to restore its weather-resistant performance. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, and ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent mold or odors.
