FAQs

Can I wash the Donnington Wax Jacket in a washing machine?

No. Never put a wax jacket in a washing machine or send it to a dry cleaner, as this will strip away the wax coating.

How often should I re-wax my jacket?

This depends on frequency of use. Typically, if you wear it regularly, re-waxing once a year is recommended to maintain optimal weather protection.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The wax finish makes the jacket highly water-resistant, protecting you well against rain and wind, though it is not classified as fully submersible waterproof gear.

What should I do if the wax feels sticky?

If the jacket feels sticky, it may have been over-waxed. Ensure you have removed any excess wax with a clean cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly in a cool place.

Will the color fade over time?

Waxed cotton may develop a unique 'patina' over time, which is considered part of the jacket's character. Proper care and re-waxing can help maintain the color depth.

Troubleshooting

The jacket is losing its water-resistant properties.

The wax coating has likely worn thin; re-apply a Barbour-approved wax dressing according to manufacturer instructions.

There are white marks or creases on the fabric.

This is a natural characteristic of waxed cotton. You can use a hairdryer on low heat to gently warm the wax and smooth out any visible creases.

The jacket has picked up an odor.

Air the jacket out in a well-ventilated, cool space away from direct sunlight for 24-48 hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable waxed exterior provides reliable weather protection
  • Timeless design suitable for multiple seasons and settings
  • High-quality construction from a reputable heritage brand
  • Easy to layer over knitwear or light jackets

  • Waxed fabric may feel slightly stiff initially until broken in

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Donnington Wax Jacket, avoid traditional washing methods. Surface dirt should be wiped away with a cold, damp sponge. If the jacket begins to lose its water-repellent properties, apply a branded wax dressing to the surface and use a hairdryer on a low setting to help the wax absorb evenly into the cotton fibers. Always store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or enclosed plastic bags to prevent mold growth or wax migration.
