FAQs

Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash or dry clean this jacket, as it will destroy the wax treatment and damage the cotton fabric.

How do I know when it needs to be re-waxed?

If water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric or the jacket starts to look dry and faded, it is time for a re-wax.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy winter weather?

The Arlene is an excellent layer, but for extreme winter temperatures, we recommend layering it over a sweater or fleece.

What is the primary material used?

The jacket is crafted from high-quality, durable waxed cotton, which is a staple of Barbour's heritage clothing.

Does the corduroy collar get dirty easily?

The corduroy collar is a signature Barbour feature, but it can attract lint; a simple garment brush will keep it looking fresh.

Troubleshooting

The jacket is losing its water repellency

The wax coating has likely worn down. Apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing to the fabric to restore weather resistance.

The surface feels dry or 'patchy'

This is normal wear for waxed cotton. It indicates the need for re-waxing to maintain the integrity and aesthetic of the garment.

The zipper feels stiff

Gently clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris that may have collected in the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable waxed cotton construction for long-lasting wear
  • Versatile design suitable for countryside walks or city commuting
  • Functional pocket layout for essential storage
  • Adjustable zip collar enhances comfort and protection

Cons

  • Requires periodic re-waxing to maintain weather resistance
  • Material may feel stiff initially until broken in
  • Limited machine washability due to the waxed finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, avoid storing it in confined spaces while damp. If the jacket becomes dirty, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water to gently clean the exterior; never use soap, detergents, or hot water, as these will strip the wax treatment. Over time, as the jacket loses its water-repellent finish, apply a high-quality wax dressing to the surface. Always hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, and allow it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators.
