[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends how you wear it.  If you are wearing it for hunting hours at a time in the rain, then yes, re-wax it yearly.

If you are wearing it around the DMV, into and out of the metro and through the Whole Foods parking lot, you don’t need to re-wax annually. [/quote]

No one actually hunts in barbour- it is not technical gear. It is good for something that looks nicer than a north face and it's a certain aesthetic and lasts forever. I've worn mine heavily in the fall for 20 years and it still looks great. I had one rewax [/quote]

It actually is technical gear, meant for hunting and/or riding, depending on the model. [/quote]

I think maybe one of you is talking about hunting with guns or a bow and one of you is talking about foxhunting.

For the record, I don’t think you can wear a Barbour for foxhunting? My experience with foxhunters is they’re usually wearing formal attire, and also they’re drunk and insane (in the best way) and if they had to wear a bathing suit they would still go hunting. [/quote]
The original models have pockets intended for dead birds and empty shells.  They were intended to be functional hunting jackets. Worn mostly as fashion now[/quote]
