Clear the wax off using solvent and heat (hairdryer). Next srub with warm soapy water by hand. When dry, repeat wash. Make sure to wash the outer and inner. Dry out. If it still has a whiff then repeat washing. When there's no whiffy re-wax

Its the lining Vin. Either hand wash the inside using a decent detergent or send it off to one of those Barbour repair gaffs and have it cleaned or relined. Whatever you do dont wash/damage the outside. Years of re-proofing are priceless in these jackets.

Once done shower before every use and it should be right for years. ;)

 

I think that's got to be worth a try mate..cheers.

If you have got a steam cleaner one of then little hand held units , give it a blast with that ... I have had some success with mine when I wanted to get the smell of piss off the concrete kitchen floor when I took the wooden flooring up :thumbs:

Eyup mate..

I don't wear the Barbour for ferreting... it's for posing in the pub...very trendy you know! 

I'm with you on the workwear etc.. I've given up on the expensive brands a long time ago. None of them do what they promise. I buy cheap waterproofs and wear them over top of decent gear etc.

2 pairs of trousers last year..= £40. the second pair still going strong...lol

Only decent money I would spend these days is on good footwear.

These make good trousers for ferreting , hard wearing last couple yearif looked after but for £15 /20 if they only last a year there a bargain. They got plenty of pockets in for locator/batteries/phone /pocket knife ect etc.they also have the knee pap slits in to drop the foam knee pads in wich weigh fecking bout so when your on your knees setting nets and digging your knees serpent constantly soaked and on cold hard surfaces so reduce knee problem later on
