FAQs
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will strip the wax coating and ruin the jacket's protective properties.
Is the jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant. It will keep you dry in light rain, but it is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy storms.
How do I remove mud or dirt?
Allow the mud to dry, then brush it off gently with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth to wipe away remaining marks.
What should I wear underneath this jacket?
Because of the bomber fit, it works best with t-shirts, flannels, or light-to-mid-weight knitwear.
Will the wax rub off on car seats or furniture?
When newly waxed, there may be some residue. Ensure you follow the re-waxing instructions carefully and allow it to dry thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Surface looks dry or dull in some areas
This is normal as the wax naturally wears off. Apply a re-waxing dressing to the affected areas.
Jacket feels stiff or sticky
Excessive wax may have been applied. Hang the jacket in a warm, dry room to allow the wax to soak into the fibers.
Creases forming in the fabric
Creasing is a natural characteristic of waxed cotton and part of the jacket's patina; it does not affect durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, avoid subjecting it to high heat, as this can damage the wax coating. If the jacket becomes dirty, use a damp cloth or sponge to gently wipe away surface debris; never use soap or detergents. Over time, the waxed surface will naturally lose its barrier; apply official Barbour wax dressing once every season or as needed to maintain water repellency. Ensure the jacket is stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew from developing on the cotton fibers. When layering, the jacket accommodates light sweaters or shirts comfortably but may feel restrictive with heavy, bulky winter layers due to its streamlined bomber fit.
