FAQs
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Re-waxing frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is once a year, or when you notice a decrease in water repellency. Always use Barbour-approved wax.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. You can add a compatible zip-in liner (sold separately) for increased warmth in colder temperatures.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid folding it for extended periods, as this can cause creasing or damage to the wax finish.
How do I clean minor stains?
For minor stains or dirt, use a sponge with cold water. Do not use soap or detergents, as they can strip the wax finish. Wipe down with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What is the difference between the Ashby and Bedale jackets?
The Ashby jacket features a more tailored, modern fit compared to the slightly more relaxed fit of the Bedale. Both offer similar weather protection and classic Barbour styling.
Is the blue checkered pattern very noticeable?
The blue checkered pattern is part of the lining, providing a subtle detail. The exterior of the jacket has a matte finish consistent with waxed cotton.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff
This is normal for new waxed jackets. Wear the jacket regularly to help it break in and conform to your body shape.
Wax transfer to other clothing
Ensure the jacket is fully dry and avoid prolonged contact with lighter-colored or sensitive fabrics, especially in warm conditions. If transfer occurs, it can usually be brushed off or cleaned according to the fabric care label.
Loss of water repellency
The jacket may require re-waxing. Follow Barbour's official re-waxing instructions or seek professional re-waxing services.
Zippers or studs are stiff
Ensure they are clean. A light application of wax can sometimes help, but avoid excessive lubrication which can attract dirt.
