FAQs

Can I wash my Barbour Merchant Wax Jacket in the machine?

No. Machine washing will permanently remove the wax finish and damage the integrity of the fabric.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

It depends on frequency of use, but generally once a year is sufficient to maintain water-repellency.

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant. It will keep you dry in light rain, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.

What is the best way to store it during summer?

Keep it in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources that might soften the wax.

Does the sizing run true?

The Merchant Wax Jacket is designed for a tailored fit. If you plan on wearing bulky sweaters underneath, you may want to consider this when selecting your size.

Troubleshooting

The jacket is losing its water-repellent performance

This is a natural process for waxed cotton. It is time to re-apply a fresh layer of wax dressing to the fabric.

There is white residue on the fabric

This is often just excess wax blooming. Gently warm the area with a hairdryer on a low setting or simply buff it with a soft cloth.

Dirt or mud on the jacket

Allow the mud to dry, then gently brush it off. Use only cold water and a sponge for stubborn marks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, versatile bomber jacket aesthetic
  • High-quality, durable cotton construction
  • Effective wind protection via high collar and ribbed hem
  • Clean, minimalist design lines
  • Excellent for layering with casual outfits

Cons

  • Wax coating requires periodic re-waxing to maintain performance
  • Requires professional care and cleaning
  • The tailored fit may feel restrictive for those preferring oversized layering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Merchant Wax Jacket, follow these guidelines:

  • Storage: Always hang the jacket on a sturdy, broad-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the collar and shoulders. Avoid plastic covers, as the fabric needs to breathe.
  • Cleaning: Never wash the jacket in a washing machine or dry clean it, as this will strip the wax coating. Clean the surface by using a damp sponge and cold water only.
  • Re-waxing: To maintain water resistance, apply Barbour wax dressing periodically when the fabric starts to look dry or loses its water-repellent properties.
  • Compatibility: The jacket fits best over light to medium-weight layers. Given the structured cut, heavy thermal layers may feel tight in the sleeves or shoulders.
