FAQs
Can I wash the Barbour Ashby in a washing machine?
No, never wash the jacket in a machine or use soap, as this will destroy the wax treatment.
Is the Barbour Ashby waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain, but it is not fully waterproof in heavy, sustained downpours.
How often should I re-wax my jacket?
Depending on usage, most owners re-wax their jackets once a year to maintain optimal performance.
How does the fit compare to the Bedale jacket?
The Ashby is a more tailored, slimmer fit compared to the traditional, roomier fit of the Bedale.
Can I wear this in the middle of winter?
It is best suited for autumn and spring; in deep winter, you may need to layer significantly underneath.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels dry or is absorbing water

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Barbour Ashby lasts for years, proper care is essential. As the jacket is made from waxed cotton, you should never machine wash or dry clean it, as this will strip away the protective finish. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a cold damp cloth or soft brush. If the jacket begins to lose its water-repellent properties, perform a re-waxing treatment using official Barbour wax, applying it evenly across the surface and using a hair dryer to help it soak into the fibers. For compatibility, the Ashby fits well over standard t-shirts and medium-weight knit sweaters, making it an excellent anchor piece for a layered wardrobe.
