I’ve paid for re-waxing once (~$85) and got some repairs done two years ago (~$125).
Pardon my ignorance. I'd never heard of Barbour jackets until this thread. What is a waxed jacket? I tried to googgle this question with no luck.

Obviously I need to step my jacket game up.

the greatest, best outdoors wear clothing man has ever contrived. take it from someone who depends on superior clothing for foul weather work: there's no equal.

: A waxed jacket is made from cotton that's treated with wax to make it water-resistant. Evolved from the oiled sailcloth once used by 18th-century mariners for protection from weather and waves, current-day waxed cotton fabrics are treated with paraffin or beeswax-based formulas.
