FAQs

Can I wash the Arlene jacket in a washing machine?

No. Machine washing will strip the wax coating and permanently damage the fabric. Always clean with a damp cloth.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

It depends on usage, but typically once every year or two if you notice the water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric.

Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?

It is designed for moderate weather and light to medium rain; it is highly water-resistant but not fully waterproof for extreme downpours.

What is the best way to store the jacket during summer?

Store it on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it in plastic bags, as the fabric needs to breathe to prevent mold.

Can I iron the jacket?

Do not iron directly on the waxed surface as this will melt and smear the wax finish.

Troubleshooting

The fabric looks dull or dry.

This is normal wear for waxed cotton; apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to restore water repellency and sheen.

The jacket has a slight waxy odor.

This is a characteristic of natural waxed cotton; air the jacket out in a well-ventilated, shaded area to minimize the scent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment arrives ready to wear. Because of the specialized wax finish, it does not require initial waterproofing. To ensure longevity, always follow the care label: do not machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean. If the jacket becomes dirty, use a damp cloth to wipe the surface clean. Over time, as the wax coating naturally fades, you will need to re-wax the jacket using official Barbour wax products to maintain its weather resistance. Store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space, ideally on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar.
