The Iconic Waxed Jacket as Part of Barbour’s History

Barbour’s waxed jackets have achieved legendary status both in the countryside and the city. The first waxed jackets were made as early as the beginning of the 20th century and quickly became popular due to their durability, waterproofness, and timeless style. The most famous models, such as the Bedale and Beaufort, are still handcrafted today at Barbour’s own factory in South Shields.

The secret of the wax jacket lies in its material: the cotton fabric is impregnated with a special wax, making the jacket waterproof yet breathable. Each jacket is unique, and over time, the waxed fabric develops a beautiful patina that tells the story of its wearer. Barbour wax jackets are more than just clothing – they are part of life, adventures, and memories.

A Barbour wax jacket is not just a garment – it’s an investment that stands the test of time and stories. With proper care, it becomes a faithful companion from one generation to the next. In our selection, you’ll find Barbour jackets for both men and women.

How to Care for Your Wax Jacket

A Barbour wax jacket is designed to last for decades, as long as you take care of it. The jacket needs regular re-waxing, about once a year, to maintain its waterproofness and appearance. Before waxing, brush off any loose dirt and wipe the jacket with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing. To re-wax, heat the wax until it becomes liquid and apply it evenly to the jacket’s surface with a soft cloth. Let the jacket dry overnight at room temperature.
