Barbour Repair and Reproofing Service: Waxed Jacket TLC
Does your Barbour Waxed Jacket need some R&R? (That’s repairs and reproofing…)
From those who repurchase their tins of Barbour Thornproof Wax to meticulously reproof their beloved Barbour, to the laid back Barbour veteran who loves the ‘lived in’ look of their years-old coat. Whichever type of Barbour wax jacket wearer you are, we’ve seen them all, each with their own story of how they got there.
But even the most vintage Barbour wax coats need a little TLC from time to time. If your statement Barbour International Jacket needs re-waxing so it’s looking its best as you dart around the city, or your Barbour Bedale Jacket has a torn sleeve from a freak country sports fiasco, you’re safe in the knowledge that Barbour has a dedicated team on hand to nurse your jacket back to health.
Barbour Reproofing and Repairs at the South Shields Factory
Regular care of your Barbour waxed jacket will ensure it will last for years to come. So, sending it off to the Barbour factory in South Shields for a little TLC is well worth doing. If you’ve got a busted zip, torn pocket, or a worn out collar, Barbour can pretty much fix it all.
Even if you’re a fan of your jacket looking a little less than pristine, you can send your Barbour off for alterations so that it suits you and your individual style. They can add brand new sleeves, pockets, wind cuffs and more.
You can send your jacket to Barbour directly by filling out this form or bringing it into any of our Barbour Partner or Outdoor and Country Stores where we’ll be happy to help you!
If you only need a re-wax, you can give it a go at home!
It’s super easy to re-wax your Barbour Jacket from home. You can find tins of thornproof wax dressing in all of our stores and online.
How To Re-Wax Your Waxed Jacket:
- Start in a warm room and clean your jacket.
- Soften the wax by placing the tin in a container of hot water.
- Use a sponge to work the wax into the jacket. Start at the back of the jacket, then focus on the collar and arms.
- Dry your jacket with a hair dryer for even distribution.
- Hang it up to dry overnight!
