Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Barbour jacket, keep the following maintenance tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Spot clean only with cold water and a sponge. Never use hot water, detergents, or soap, as these will strip the protective wax.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a sturdy hanger to keep the shoulder structure intact. Avoid storing in plastic bags.
- Maintenance: Re-wax the jacket periodically, especially if you notice water no longer beads off the surface. Use official Barbour wax dressing for best results.
- Compatibility: The jacket pairs well with standard winter accessories like scarves and gloves, but avoid wearing the damp waxed jacket against light-colored fabric upholstery, as the wax can transfer.
