FAQs
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
No. Never machine wash or dry clean a waxed cotton jacket, as this will destroy the wax coating.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
It depends on usage, but typically once a year is recommended if you wear the jacket frequently.
Is the Barbour Ashby warm enough for winter?
It is designed as a transitional layer. In deep winter, you will need to wear warm layers underneath to stay comfortable.
Does the fit run large or small?
The Ashby is a tailored fit, which is generally more fitted than traditional Barbour models like the Bedale.
Can I repair small tears in the fabric?
Yes, Barbour offers repair services, or you can use official repair kits to patch small snags.
Why is the jacket slightly sticky to the touch?
A slight waxy feel is normal, especially when the jacket is new. This will settle over time as you wear it.
Troubleshooting
The jacket is losing water resistance.
The wax coating has worn thin; apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to restore the protective finish.
There is a buildup of dust or mud.
Allow the mud to dry, then brush it off gently. Wipe the area with a cold, damp sponge.
The jacket smells 'waxy'.
This is normal for new wax jackets; hang the garment in a well-ventilated, cool space for a few days to allow the scent to dissipate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a waxed cotton garment, proper care is essential. Do not dry clean or machine wash your jacket, as this will remove the protective wax finish. To clean, use only cold water and a sponge to wipe away dirt. If the jacket begins to lose its water-repellent properties, you will need to apply a fresh layer of wax. Store the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent mildew. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as the material needs to breathe.
