Barbour SL Spey Jacket - Blue - S

It is water-resistant. The waxed cotton provides excellent protection against light rain and wind, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.

The 'SL' stands for Slim. It is cut closer to the body for a tailored, modern look compared to the traditional, roomier Barbour fit.

No. Machine washing will permanently remove the protective wax coating and ruin the finish of the garment.

Typically, the jacket should be re-waxed once a year if worn regularly, or whenever you notice water no longer beads on the surface.

It is a transitional jacket. It does not feature heavy internal insulation, so it is best suited for autumn and spring, or mild winter days when layered.

Hang it up to dry naturally in a well-ventilated room. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as they can damage the wax.

This is normal for new or freshly re-waxed cotton. The fabric will soften with wear and body heat.

The wax coating has worn thin. Apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing or seek professional re-waxing services.

Allow the mud or dirt to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a soft brush. Follow up with a damp sponge if necessary.
