Men's Wax Coats & Jackets FAQ
Q: What is a wax jacket?
A: A wax jacket is a cotton outerwear garment treated with a layer of wax to make it water-resistant. It’s a classic choice for country walks, wet weather, and stylish outdoor wear.
Q: Are wax jackets waterproof?
A: Yes, wax jackets are water-resistant and designed to repel rain. Their wax coating helps protect against wet weather, but over time, they may need re-waxing to maintain their water-repellent qualities. Barbour wax jackets are treated with a special wax finish to provide water resistance. They're ideal for showers and drizzle, but for heavy downpours, layering with waterproof outerwear may help.
Q: Are wax jackets warm?
A: Wax jackets provide a good level of warmth, especially when lined or paired with a quilted inner layer. They're excellent for cool, damp days but may need an extra layer in colder weather.
Q: How do you clean a wax jacket?
A: Never machine wash or dry clean a wax jacket. Doing so can strip away the protective wax and ruin the finish. Instead, use cold water and a soft cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid soaps or detergents, as they can damage the wax coating.
Q: How do I re-wax a wax jacket?
A: To re-wax, clean the jacket first. Warm a tin of reproofing wax (The Barbour Original Thornproof Dressing Wax - 200ml is a particular favourite of ours) and apply it evenly with a cloth or sponge. Use a hairdryer to help the wax absorb into the fabric, and allow it to dry overnight. Many brands also offer re-waxing services if you'd prefer a professional touch.
