How to fit a liner into your Barbour jacket
If you’ve invested in a Barbour waxed jacket, you were probably drawn to it for a few reasons – its timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and enviable longevity. Alongside these signature qualities, many Barbour waxed jackets also offer the option to attach an interactive zip-in liner and hood. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the different zip-in liners available and how to attach them to your waxed jacket.
How to Attach a Barbour Zip-In Liner to Your Wax Jacket
Many Barbour wax jackets feature an internal zip that runs alongside the main front zip — this is where the liners connect.
Start by putting on your Barbour liner, followed by your jacket. Locate the internal zip sewn into your jacket, then take the zip on your liner and fasten it to the internal zip on your jacket. Repeat this on both sides to ensure it’s securely attached.
Next, remove your jacket and lay it flat on a surface. You’ll spot an internal press-stud strip on the collar of your jacket and an outer cotton loop on the liner collar. For extra security, feed the press-stud strip through the cotton loop and snap it shut — this keeps your liner neatly in place and ready for all-weather wear.
