help Barbour Ashby Wax Jacket FAQ

How often should I re-wax my Barbour Ashby jacket?

The Barbour Ashby is constructed with water-resistant Sylkoil waxed cotton that typically needs re-waxing once a year depending on wear. You can purchase Barbour's own tin of Thornproof Dressing to maintain its water-resistant properties.

Can you wash a Barbour Ashby jacket in a washing machine?

No, you should never machine wash or dry clean the Barbour Ashby, as this will strip the Sylkoil wax from the cotton. It should only be cleaned by brushing off dirt and sponging with cold water before re-waxing.

How does the Barbour Ashby differ from the Beaufort jacket?

While both feature a corduroy collar and tartan inner lining, the Ashby is generally tailored for a slightly slimmer, more contemporary fit than the classic Beaufort. The Ashby also features four front pockets compared to the traditional layout.

Is the Barbour Ashby jacket warm enough for winter?

The Ashby is constructed with water-resistant Sylkoil waxed cotton but does not have built-in heavy insulation. To stay warm in freezing temperatures, you will need to utilize the jacket's interactive zipper to add a Barbour fleece or liner.
