FAQs
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will remove the wax coating and potentially damage the garment. Always spot clean with cold water only.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
It depends on how frequently you wear it. For heavy use, once a year is recommended; for light use, you may only need to re-wax every 2-3 years.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
It is water-resistant. It will keep you dry in light to moderate rain, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.
What does 'slim-fit' mean for sizing?
Slim-fit means the jacket is tailored closer to the body. If you intend to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may want to size up.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It provides good insulation for autumn and spring, but for harsh winter conditions, you may need additional base layers or a heavier coat.
Troubleshooting
The fabric appears dry or loses its sheen.
The jacket likely requires a fresh application of wax dressing to restore water resistance and aesthetic appeal.
There is a faint smell of wax.
This is normal for new or freshly re-waxed garments; hang the jacket in a well-ventilated, dry room for several days to dissipate the scent.
The zipper is sticking.
Gently rub a bit of graphite or a specialist zipper lubricant along the teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a waxed garment, the Barbour Reelin does not require a complex setup; however, it does demand specific care to maintain its longevity. To clean, use a damp cloth and cold water only; never use soaps, detergents, or chemical cleaners as they can strip the wax coating. The jacket should be hung to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. To maintain water resistance, the jacket will eventually need to be re-waxed using official Barbour wax dressing, typically performed annually or as needed depending on usage. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid placing the jacket in a compressed bag for extended periods to ensure the fabric maintains its structure.
