FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant. It will keep you dry in light to moderate showers, but it is not a fully waterproof technical rain jacket.

How should I clean my jacket?

Use cold water and a sponge to wipe away dirt. Never use hot water, detergents, or soap, as these will strip the wax finish.

Can I put this jacket in the dryer?

No. Heat will melt the wax and damage the cotton fibers. Always air dry your jacket naturally away from direct heat.

Why is the surface of the jacket slightly oily?

The wax finish is designed to be slightly waxy to the touch to provide water resistance; this is normal and will settle over time.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

This depends on how often you wear it. For daily use, consider re-waxing once a year to ensure maximum water repellency.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff upon arrival

Waxed cotton naturally softens and develops a unique character with regular wear and body heat.

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading

The wax layer has likely worn down and requires a fresh application of re-waxing cream.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile water-resistant finish for changing weather
  • Iconic, timeless design with signature Barbour branding
  • Flattering cropped fit that works well for daily layering
  • Functional two-way zipper for customized comfort

Cons

  • Requires professional rewaxing periodically to maintain weatherproofing
  • Not intended for extreme cold weather without extra layering
  • Spot cleaning only, not suitable for machine washing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, avoid exposing it to direct heat sources like radiators, as this can dry out the wax. If the fabric begins to lose its water-repellent quality, it should be re-waxed using official Barbour wax dressing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Never machine wash or dry clean. Use a damp sponge to remove surface dirt.
  2. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
  3. Compatibility: This jacket pairs well with standard knitwear, denim, or cotton trousers. Due to its cropped nature, it is not recommended for pairing with very short layers underneath unless you prefer a specific aesthetic contrast.
