The essentials to know:

A waxed jacket retains its intense, glossy color over the years. It's also a guarantee of suppleness and durability. Your Balzac Paris x Barbour waxed jacket is designed to last and protect you from the elements. To ensure it retains this quality for as long as possible, it's essential to take proper care and maintenance.

For small everyday tasks, use a dry cloth or damp sponge to clean. Rub gently to avoid damaging the protective wax layer.

Be careful, never put your jacket in the washing machine , as this will permanently remove the polish and you will no longer be able to polish it again.

Our maintenance advice

We recommend storing your jacket in a dry, ventilated place, separate from other clothing so that the wax does not transfer to other fabrics. Do not expose your jacket to intense heat, such as a radiator. We also recommend
to re-wax your jacket every year before the start of the season.


In case of return

In order to avoid possible wax stains on other parts, we
will only accept jackets returned in their original packaging.

The steps to follow to re-wax your jacket

You can also have your jacket re-waxed at any Barbour corner.

1. Preparing the wax

Take your can of Barbour Wax Thornproof Dressing and remove the lid. Then place the can of shoe polish in a container of water hot enough to soften the wax. It usually takes about twenty minutes for the wax to become liquid.

2. Cleaning

In the meantime, simply use a sponge and cold water and gently scrub the exterior of the jacket. Avoid using hot water or any type of soap.

3. Shoe polish

Throughout this step, the wax box must remain in very hot water to prevent it from hardening. Using an old cloth or rag, spread the melted wax evenly over the jacket. Pay particular attention to seams, folds, and dry areas. Be careful not to let the wax stain uncoated fabric parts (inside the jacket, inside pockets, etc.).

4. Drying

Once waxed, hang your jacket up and let it dry overnight in a warm place, away from other clothing. Do not place your newly waxed jacket near other products for a while until the excess wax has completely disappeared.
