Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Barbour Ashby lasts for years, proper care is essential. As the jacket is made from waxed cotton, you should never machine wash or dry clean it, as this will strip away the protective finish. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a cold damp cloth or soft brush. If the jacket begins to lose its water-repellent properties, perform a re-waxing treatment using official Barbour wax, applying it evenly across the surface and using a hair dryer to help it soak into the fibers. For compatibility, the Ashby fits well over standard t-shirts and medium-weight knit sweaters, making it an excellent anchor piece for a layered wardrobe.
