FAQs
Can I wash my Barbour Ashby in a washing machine?
No. Never machine wash or dry clean your jacket, as this will remove the wax coating and ruin the fabric's finish.
How often should I re-wax the jacket?
Frequency depends on use. Generally, once every year or two is sufficient if the jacket is worn for daily activities.
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, making it excellent for light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof technical rain jacket.
Does the Ashby fit true to size?
The Ashby has a tailored fit. If you plan on layering heavy knitwear underneath, you may consider sizing up.
Can I use any wax to maintain it?
It is highly recommended to use genuine Barbour wax dressing to ensure the best results and maintain the integrity of the material.
Troubleshooting
The wax feels sticky or smells strong
This is normal for new wax jackets. Hang the garment in a cool, well-ventilated area for a few days to allow the excess wax to settle.
Water no longer beads on the surface
The wax coating has worn off. It is time to apply a fresh layer of Barbour wax dressing to the surface to restore water resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No initial setup is required; the jacket is ready to wear straight out of the box. To maintain the jacket's integrity, avoid dry cleaning or machine washing, as these processes will strip the wax coating. Clean the exterior by using a damp cloth and cold water only. When the jacket begins to lose its water-beading capability, apply a standard Barbour wax dressing to restore the finish. Always allow the jacket to air dry in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat sources to prevent the wax from cracking or smelling.
