Barbour Thornproof Dressing, No Color, One Size

Excellent wax to keep your coat in good condition. No issues. Affordable.

First time redoing my coat. Followed the instructions, made my jacket new again after 5 years. It had developed some white marks on the sleeve. This dressing cleaned them up now gone! This is a must have product for every Barbour jacket owner. Seems. Bit expensive, but is worth the money.

I purchased this instead of the Otter wax as I felt the reviews were better. Otter wax at 16oz is the same price as this Barbour at 8oz which I'm not happy but wanted to try the Babour..Did a light weight 100% cotton jacket following instructions on the can using a cotton rolled up sock to apply. It worked but feel a brush would do a better job with less mess regardless of their instructions. Also tried the hair dryer and or heat gun to evenly distribute the wax and found the ideal absolute best way to do this was with a old iron ,non steam I used to wax my skis with..This method did a excellent job of letting it penetrate evenly and gave it a great result..The jacket turned out very soft and supple with plenty of wax impregnated throughout with a single application. I did not get the crinkle type patina some like as by looking at it you would not know it is a waxed jacket but I believe I could do another application to get those results or perhaps the shine like a Filson..Do The Iron in method for excellent results..Also a brush on method should work fine as using a cotton applicator to rub it in seams useless as the final application of a heat source is what really allows this to penetrate regardless..1 can did a below waist light weight jacket and I used it kind of sparingly..To be sure get 2 cans to do an average size coat or garment. Barbour is not cheap for 8oz but the excellent results are a finish which is soft and not stiff with one application at least my result..I will try the Otter wax next before I pay double for this again..

After reading a lot of reviews, I thought this process would be tricky. But it was easy and quick to wax my Barbour jacket, hood, and even the dog’s jacket. It took maybe 15 minutes to apply, heat with an hair dryer, and wipe clean. I opened the wax can, put it in a pot of a few inches of water, and heated it up on low heat until all of the wax had melted. Then I used an old washcloth that I would later throw away, dipped it in the melted wax and rubbed it all over the jacket in small sections, making sure that it was a thin coat and that wax got right into all of the seams. Then I used a hairdryer directly on small sections of the jacket to melt the wax into the fabric and wiped it all down with the same washcloth to take off any excess wax. The jacket looks fantastic. I was surprised at how easy and quick this process was.

I have a love/hate with this product.. It's expensive.. depending on what your waxing, (the size and how saturated you want it) you could be stuck buying alot.. I just had to buy a second tin of it.. The coat I'm doing is full length but still, I thought one container would do it.. I like this stuff more than Otter Wax though because it doesn't smell bad.. it doesn't have much of a smell at all compared to Otter Wax, which smells bad imo.. I would heat to a liquid or near that, and apply with a sponge or glove (to conserve) getting it on evenly can be challenging.. I would use a hair dryer, not a heat gun, if you want a shine/sheen to it.. the heat gun was too hot and the Wax dissolved deep into the cloth bc of it.., rather than giving a surface shine, it just looked damp.. this stuff will permanently darker whatever you're waxing btw.. decent product, just very expensive in the end if you want to get it right and do thorough coatings..

Truly transformed old coat. Most scratches gone and much softer.

Excellent product—really improved the look of my old Barbour jacket!

Works great, but it’s a process to do it right. I had a Barbour coat that went thru the washer/dryer (very bad idea) that was bone dry. This can had more than enough wax for multiple coats that left it very saturated. A few process tips: Plan to spend 2 to 3 hours on the project. Follow the instructions to warm up the wax in a pan of water on low heat on your stove. You need to leave it in the water with the stove on the entire time so it does not harden back up. Wait for the wax to completely melt (it will be totally clear) which takes about 30 minutes. Use a small rag or sponge to apply, working in small sections. Wear plastic gloves, you are going to get wax all over your hands. You definitely want to use a hair dryer or heat gun to finish the application. It totally melts the wax onto the jacket and allows it to soak in. Two or three light coats, using the heat gun in between each, is better than one thick coat. I found it easier to apply the wax while on a flat surface and then apply the heat to it while on a hanger. None of this is hard but it’s a bit messy and it takes a while to do it right!

My hubby bought a used Barbour jacket that had not been worn in years and subsequently, had dried out somewhat. Found the wax very easy to use, applying it with a clean microfibre cloth. It goes a long way, so don't be scared to be quite liberal with it, working it well into the seams especially. I used about half a can to do the complete jacket. Left it hanging to dry for 24 hours and the jacket looks like brand new now. Very pleased with the result!

Exactly what I needed to restore my 20+ old Barbour

Seals old jackets again. The jacket is like new. The process takes a bit patients and time. Works best when applied with a sponge and to speed up drying use a hairdryer.

Eccellente, barbour tornato come nuovo, facile da applicare, si asciuga all’aperto in 24 ore. Con un flacone ho fatto un barbour, e me ne è rimasto un terzo circa

Use it to waterproof my bags and jacket. Great under light to medium rain.
