FAQs
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will strip the wax coating and ruin the fabric's water-repellent properties.
How do I know when it needs to be rewaxed?
If water stops beading on the surface or the fabric starts looking dry and pale in high-friction areas, it is time for a new layer of wax.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy winter conditions?
The jacket is designed for moderate weather. In harsh winter conditions, it is best worn with heavy insulating layers underneath.
Does the wax smell?
New wax jackets may have a slight, characteristic oily smell from the treatment, which typically dissipates after the first few weeks of wear.
What is the best way to store the jacket during summer?
Hang the jacket on a sturdy wooden or padded hanger in a dry, cool closet to allow the material to breathe.
Troubleshooting
The jacket surface looks dry or dull
This indicates the wax is wearing off. Apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to restore its protective finish.
Small mud stains on the exterior
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off. If necessary, use a cold, damp sponge to wipe the area clean.
Jacket feels stiff when new
The fabric will soften naturally with regular wear and body heat, conforming better to your movement over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a pre-constructed garment, no assembly is required; simply check the fit upon arrival to ensure adequate room for layering. Compatibility-wise, the jacket pairs well with standard knitwear or flannel shirts.
To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Never use soap or detergents on the waxed fabric. Always spot clean with a cold, damp cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and cause mold.
- Reproofing: Depending on usage frequency, re-apply Barbour wax dressing once every year or two to maintain the water-repellent finish.
