FAQs
Can I wash the Barbour Ashby in a washing machine?
No. Never machine wash or dry clean the jacket, as this will strip the wax finish and ruin the material.
How do I clean the jacket if it gets dirty?
Use a soft brush to remove dried mud, or wipe the surface with a sponge and cold water only.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant, making it excellent for light rain and wind, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Depending on usage, re-waxing is typically recommended every 12 to 24 months to maintain performance.
What is the difference between the Ashby and the Bedale?
The Ashby has a more tailored, slim fit compared to the traditional, wider-fitting Bedale model.
Can I wear this jacket in the winter?
It serves as an excellent outer layer for transitional weather, but you may need to layer it with warm knitwear for colder winter days.
Troubleshooting
The jacket surface feels dry or loses water repellency.
Apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to the fabric to restore the protective coating.
Dirt or mud is visible on the surface.
Allow mud to dry and gently brush it off; if necessary, wipe the area with a cold, damp cloth only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is ready to wear immediately upon purchase, though you may want to ensure the wax finish is uniform. Because it is made of natural waxy cotton, it is essential to never machine wash or tumble dry the garment, as this will destroy the wax treatment and damage the fabric. Instead, clean the jacket by gently sponging it down with cold water. To maintain its water-repellent capabilities, the jacket should be professionally re-waxed or treated with approved Barbour wax dressing once every year or two, depending on the frequency of use.
