FAQs
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
Frequency depends on use, but generally, a jacket should be re-waxed once a year if worn regularly.
Can I wash my Barbour jacket in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will permanently strip the wax and damage the garment.
Is the jacket waterproof?
It is highly water-resistant, making it perfect for rain and wind, though it is not classified as fully submersible waterproof gear.
What is the fit of the Beaufort jacket?
The Beaufort is traditionally a regular fit, designed to allow for layering clothes underneath.
Can I have my jacket professionally repaired?
Yes, Barbour offers professional repair and re-waxing services to maintain the life of your jacket.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading.
The wax layer has worn thin; perform a re-waxing treatment on the jacket.
There is a slight oily residue on the surface.
This is normal for waxed jackets; allow the garment to air out in a well-ventilated area away from other clothes.
Stains or dirt on the surface.
Use a sponge and cold water to gently clean; avoid using soaps or chemicals as these damage the wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Barbour jacket, proper care is essential. Do not machine wash or dry clean the garment, as this will strip away the protective wax finish. To clean, use a damp cloth and cold water to wipe away surface dirt. If the water-repellent performance begins to diminish over time, you should apply a fresh coat of Barbour wax dressing. Ensure the jacket is stored in a cool, dry place and hung on a proper hanger to maintain its shape. It is also important to keep the waxed cotton away from other garments when freshly re-waxed, as the wax may transfer.
