Does wax coat work on Barbour jackets?
With new Barbour wax jackets comes freshly coated wax therefore it will attract the most tiniest of fibres which we agree can be annoying! We advise avoiding using a lint brush as this may lift some of the wax coating leaving a patchy coat and continuing to wipe the garment with a damp cloth will cause the outer wax layer to strip therefore you would need to have the garment reproofed which should not be required this early in a jacket’s lifespan. It will require some patience but just continue to wear the jacket as normal and overtime the wax will become less moist and sticky so you will be able to simply brush off any fibres that it comes into contact with. If this is not a suitable solution then we advise contacting Barbour directly to obtain further aftercare advice. A link to Barbour and their repair service can be found in the post above.
