FAQs
Can I wash the Barbour SL Spey in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will permanently damage the wax coating and the garment's protective properties.
How should I clean my jacket?
Use only a damp sponge to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid soaps or harsh detergents.
What is the 'SL' in the product name?
SL stands for Slim. This indicates that the jacket has been tailored with a more modern, narrower silhouette compared to the traditional, wider-cut Spey jacket.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The waxed cotton provides excellent protection against rain, but it is classified as water-resistant rather than fully waterproof for extended exposure to heavy downpours.
Does this jacket come with a hood?
The standard SL Spey design features a traditional collar and throat tab; check the specific product packaging or documentation to see if a compatible hood is included or available as an add-on.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Depending on usage, re-waxing is typically recommended once every year or two to maintain the jacket's weather resistance.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt accumulation
Use a damp sponge to gently wipe away debris. Do not soak the fabric.
Jacket losing water repellency
Apply a fresh layer of Barbour-approved wax dressing to the cotton shell.
Accidental exposure to heavy cleaning detergents
Do not attempt to wash again; contact a professional specializing in waxed cotton garment repair.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Barbour SL Spey jacket does not require a complex setup process; however, long-term performance depends on proper care. Because of the specialized wax coating, the garment must never be placed in a washing machine or dry-cleaned, as this will strip away its water-repellent properties. To maintain the jacket, use only a damp sponge to remove surface dirt and mud. If the jacket begins to lose its weather-resistant finish over time, you can re-wax it using official Barbour wax dressing to restore its protective qualities. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, well-ventilated area to ensure the fabric remains in optimal condition.
