FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent due to the dry wax coating, making it ideal for light rain and misty conditions, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I wash this jacket in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will strip the wax coating and damage the garment. Please use spot cleaning only.
What is the fit of this jacket?
It is designed as a regular fit, providing enough room for layers, and includes an internal drawcord to customize the waist size.
What material is the insulation made of?
The jacket is lightly padded with recycled polyester to provide warmth while maintaining a sustainable design.
Does the collar use the same fabric as the rest of the jacket?
No, the spread collar and cuffs feature corduroy accents for added comfort and visual appeal.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the jacket.
The wax coating has likely worn down; you should re-apply a compatible garment wax to restore the water-repellent properties.
Stiff or sticky texture after storage.
This is normal for waxed cotton. Ensure the jacket is kept away from direct heat sources and in a well-ventilated closet.
The double-ended zipper feels tight.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and try applying a small amount of paraffin wax or graphite to the tracks to improve smoothness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gant Waxed Barn Jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash or dry clean. Use a damp cloth to spot-clean surface dirt or mud.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent finish begins to fade, apply a high-quality fabric wax to the cotton shell following the wax manufacturer's instructions.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew and maintain the structure of the wax finish.
- Fit: The jacket is cut for a regular fit. Use the interior drawcord to tighten the waist if you prefer a more defined shape over looser layers.
