FAQs
Can I wash my Barbour jacket in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will permanently strip the protective wax coating and damage the garment.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Depending on usage, it is recommended to re-wax your jacket once a year to keep it water-resistant.
Is the jacket breathable?
While the wax provides weather resistance, it is less breathable than non-waxed synthetic fabrics, making it best for cooler, drier, or moderately rainy weather.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it in a cool, well-ventilated place on a sturdy hanger. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Will the wax transfer to other fabrics?
When newly waxed, it is best to avoid leaning against light-colored upholstery or clothing until the wax has fully set into the cotton fibers.
Troubleshooting
The jacket surface feels dry or is absorbing water.
The wax coating has worn thin. Apply a new layer of wax dressing following the manufacturer's instructions.
There is a minor scuff or surface mark.
Often, these marks add to the jacket's character. If necessary, gently warm the area with a hairdryer to redistribute the existing wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires minimal setup; simply ensure the fit is comfortable for your layering needs. For care, keep the jacket away from heat sources like radiators to prevent the wax from melting prematurely. If the jacket starts to lose its water-repellent properties, perform a re-waxing treatment using official Barbour wax dressing. Avoid dry cleaning or machine washing, as these processes will strip the specialized finish. Use a cold water sponge wipe-down for localized cleaning of mud or dirt.
