Ill sew it and get some wax to melt on. The rip will let the rain in otherwise. Pity barbour care didnt warn me to throw it over the fence before trying to get over.

masmiffy 82 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi mate Barbour used to do a repair rewax service at a reasonable price [compared to a new jacket anyway] Had mine done some years back new zip, patches on the holes, half lining, bound cuffs and hem and a rewax. Came back looking like new but still felt like the old faithful coat! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Came back looking like new but still felt like the old faithful coat! Thanks It doesn’t need a complete overhaul just yet. I'm trying to get my hands on a repair kit and will give it a go myself.

sauer 2 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 i used to re-wax lackets for the local gun smith when i was bout 16 17 ish pretty easy to do if your rip aint too big and your not too bothered about looks of the repair you can seal it with a little bit of aquasure....use it for repairs on waders wellies and on my drysuit for my diving!!!! sauer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a look on the web and some people were suggesting putting the coat inside a pillow case then inside the tumble drier for 20 mins to heat it before rewaxing.
