Re-waxing your Barbour
jacket with Barbour Wax Dressing is essential to maintain its quality,
durability, and weatherproofing capabilities. Barbour Wax Dressing is a
specialized formula made from a blend of waxes that are designed to restore and
enhance the performance of your Barbour jacket. Here are some reasons why
re-waxing is important:
1. Weatherproofing:
Barbour jackets are renowned for their
exceptional weatherproofing properties. The wax coating acts as a protective
barrier against rain, wind, and moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable in
inclement weather. Over time, the wax can wear off due to regular use, and
re-waxing helps to replenish the jacket's water-repellent capabilities.
2. Longevity:
By re-waxing your Barbour jacket, you can
significantly extend its lifespan. The wax dressing nourishes the fabric and
prevents it from drying out or becoming brittle. It helps to maintain the
jacket's flexibility and prevents cracks or tears, ensuring that it remains in
good condition for years to come.
3. Dirt and Stain Resistance:
The wax dressing creates a dirt and
stain-resistant surface on your Barbour jacket. It helps repel dirt, dust, and
other substances, making it easier to clean and maintain the jacket's
appearance. Re-waxing regularly helps to restore this protective layer, keeping
your jacket looking fresh and clean.
4. Enhancing the Look:
Barbour jackets develop a unique patina over
time with regular wear and re-waxing. The wax darkens and adds character to the
fabric, giving it a distinctive, aged appearance. By re-waxing, you can
maintain and enhance the visual appeal of your jacket, adding to its charm and
style.
5. Personalized Fit:
Re-waxing allows you to customize the fit of
your jacket. As the wax softens with heat during the re-waxing process, you can
mold the jacket to your body shape, ensuring a comfortable and personalized
fit.
