FAQs
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
No. Washing in a machine will strip the wax coating and permanently damage the jacket's water-resistant performance.
Is the hood permanently attached?
No, the hood is removable, allowing you to change the look and functionality of the jacket based on your needs.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store it in a well-ventilated, cool place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
Will the wax rub off on my clothes?
A well-maintained Barbour jacket should not transfer wax; however, if the jacket has been recently re-waxed, it is best to avoid wearing it over light-colored delicate fabrics until the wax has fully set.
What is the benefit of the raglan sleeves?
Raglan sleeves provide a more comfortable fit under the arms and increased freedom of movement, making the jacket easier to layer.
Troubleshooting
The jacket surface feels dry and water no longer beads off.
The wax coating has worn off; the jacket needs to be professionally re-waxed to restore its water-repellent performance.
There is a minor surface stain or mud on the shell.
Gently wipe the affected area with a cold, damp sponge. Do not use soap or detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Carbour Carville jacket in top condition, avoid dry cleaning or machine washing at all costs, as this will strip away the protective wax coating. If the jacket becomes dirty, simply use a cold sponge and water to wipe away mud or surface debris. For long-term care, the jacket should be professionally re-waxed periodically to maintain its water-repellent properties. Store the garment in a cool, dry place on a wide, padded hanger to help maintain the structure of the shoulders. When not in use, remove the hood if you prefer a cleaner look or keep it attached for full protection against sudden drizzles.
