Tips & Warnings
To keep your Barbour jacket looking like new, apply Barbour Wax Dressing once a year to the exterior of the jacket. Follow the directions and recommendations on the wax's container.
Do not use a soap solution or detergent to clean your Barbour jacket. These chemicals will destroy the wax finish on the jacket.
Do not dry clean your Barbour jacket—the dry cleaning process will strip the jacket of its wax finish and permanently damage the jacket.
