FAQs
Can I wash the Barbour Ashby in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will ruin the waxed finish and damage the garment. Always clean with a damp sponge and cold water.
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
This depends on how often you wear it. Once a year is standard for moderate use, but if you notice water no longer beads on the surface, it is time to re-wax.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Ashby is a lightweight outer layer. It is not insulated, so it is best for transitional weather unless layered with a heavy sweater or knitwear.
Does the jacket fit true to size?
The Ashby is designed with a tailored fit. If you plan on wearing heavy layers underneath, you may want to consider your layering habits when selecting your size.
Where should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a wide, sturdy hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders.
Troubleshooting
The jacket surface looks dry or dull.
Apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to restore the protective finish and appearance.
There is a minor dirt stain on the surface.
Use a damp sponge with cold water to gently clean the area; do not use soaps or detergents.
The jacket feels stiff.
This is normal for new wax jackets; regular wear will help the cotton soften and mold to your body shape over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a waxed cotton garment, proper care is essential. Never machine wash or dry clean your Ashby jacket, as this will strip away the protective wax coating. If the jacket becomes dirty, use a damp cloth and cold water to gently sponge off any mud or debris. To maintain weather resistance, it is recommended to re-wax the jacket periodically using official Barbour wax dressing. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, well-ventilated space, and avoid contact with other garments when the wax is fresh to prevent transfer.
