I received my first Barbour jacket yesterday. It is the first time I have had the chance to even see one in person. I am very happy with the jacket itself, it is in absolutely great condition, although it does need to be reproofed.
by the title of the thread you know that my concern is with the scent. I got it around lunch time yesterday, and when my wife got home from work it was the first thing she smelled. The jacket was in a different room about 40 feet away from the front door. I've read that they could smell like pine, burnt wood, and or cedar. I truly have no idea how to describe the smell that is coming off of this jacket, but none of those words are ones I would use to describe the smell of it. My mother who was visiting my son when I took delivery, said it just smells old, or like its been in storage for a long time.
I cleaned it off with a wet sponge yesterday and let it dry in a cool room with a lot of air circulation, that did not help. My wife asked me to do something with it, so I hung it in our laundry room over night. I opened the door this morning, and the smell hit me like a ton of bricks. I have it hanging in my backyard now, hoping to just let it air out. I was planning on sending it to Barbour for reproofing today, but may wait for Monday to see if the smell goes away some.
Will having it proofed by Barbour likely help with the scent?
