FAQs
Can I machine wash my Barbour wax jacket?
No. Machine washing will permanently strip the wax coating and ruin the fabric's water-repellent properties.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
This depends on frequency of use. If you wear it daily in wet weather, you may need to re-wax it once a year.
Is the jacket suitable for extreme winter conditions?
The Beaufort is an excellent wind and rain barrier, but for extreme cold, it is best worn as an outer layer over heavy thermal insulation.
How do I store the jacket during summer?
Store it in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders, and ensure it is kept away from other garments as the wax can transfer.
Are Barbour jackets made in the UK?
Yes, Barbour continues to hand-finish many of its iconic waxed jackets, including the Beaufort, in the UK.
Troubleshooting
The jacket is losing its water repellency
This is normal over time; the jacket needs to be re-waxed to restore its protective barrier.
Surface dirt and mud accumulation
Gently wipe the affected area with a cold, damp cloth or sponge; never use soap or solvents.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Water-resistant properties ideal for rainy climates
- Classic British heritage design that never goes out of style

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Beaufort is made from natural waxed cotton, it requires careful maintenance. Never put the jacket in a washing machine or dry clean it, as this will strip the essential wax coating. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt or mud. Over time, as the water-repellent finish diminishes, you must re-apply Barbour's specialized wax treatment to restore its performance. Store the jacket in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, and ensure it is completely dry before hanging it for long periods to prevent mold.
