Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care is vital for a waxed cotton jacket.
- Cleaning: Never use soap or detergents. Clean the surface by using cold water and a soft sponge to wipe away dirt or mud.
- Re-waxing: To ensure the garment stays water-resistant, you must apply Barbour wax dressing periodically. When the cotton starts to look dry or water stops beading on the surface, it is time for a re-waxing treatment.
- Storage: Always hang your jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as this can encourage mold growth and ruin the wax finish.
- Compatibility: The jacket fits true to size but is designed with a classic cut, allowing for light layering underneath.
