FAQs

Can I wash my Barbour jacket in the washing machine?

No, you must never machine wash a waxed jacket. It will ruin the wax finish. Use only a damp cloth for surface cleaning.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

The frequency depends on how often you wear it. Once a year is generally recommended for average use, or whenever you notice water no longer beads on the surface.

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the dense, waxed cotton construction provides an excellent barrier against cold winds.

Will the wax transfer to my clothes?

When the jacket is freshly re-waxed, it is best to avoid wearing it over light-colored fabrics until the wax has fully cured and set into the fibers.

What does the XXL fit mean for this model?

The XXL size provides extra room in the chest and shoulders, allowing for comfortable layering over knitwear or heavy sweaters during colder months.

Troubleshooting

The jacket feels stiff or rigid.

This is normal for new waxed garments. Wear the jacket regularly to break in the fabric; the warmth of your body will soften the wax over time.

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

This indicates that the wax coating has thinned. It is time to apply a fresh layer of wax dressing to the areas showing wear.

The jacket has a slight oily smell.

This is a characteristic of natural waxed cotton. Hang the jacket in a well-ventilated room for a few days, and the scent will naturally dissipate.

  • Sophisticated grey colorway suitable for diverse outfits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care is essential to extending the life of your Barbour jacket. As this is a waxed cotton garment, never use hot water, detergents, or dry cleaning services. These will strip the wax coating and permanently damage the finish. To clean, use a cold damp cloth to wipe down the exterior when necessary.

Periodically, you must re-wax the jacket using Barbour-approved wax dressing to maintain its water-repellent performance. Store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, and avoid placing it near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can cause the wax to migrate or dry out unevenly.
