Hi there. I’m Megan from Orvis Customer Service. I noticed that a customer has not answered your question, but the answer is
Step one, clean the jacket. Put the jacket on a work table, and using a bowl of ice water and a sponge, wipe down the outside of the jacket. The ice water keeps the wax on the jacket hardened and helps the sponge separate the dirt out. (Don’t use soap of any kind. Don’t put the jacket in the washing machine. I'm told that would remove the wax coating permanently.)
Step two, open the tin of wax and boil it in a pot of water over a stove, until the wax is melted.
Step three, using an old cotton t-shirt, work the melted wax onto the jacket, paying particular care to the seams, pockets and edges. (This is the part that’s harder in winter because the wax keeps solidifying on you). Ideally you should keep the wax tin in the hot water while working in order to keep the wax melted.
Keep the wax away from the corduroy collar, inside of the jacket, and inside of the pockets.
Keep your actions small and controlled so as to not make a mess. Clean as you go.
Step four, once you have re-waxed all the surface, hang the jacket up and use the blow dryer to re-melt the wax on the jacket and give it an even finish. This also gives the jacket a nice shiny fresh look.
Hang the jacket and allow it dry overnight undisturbed.

Hi there. I’m Crystal from Orvis Customer Service. Since no one has answered your question yet, I did a little research for you, and here’s what I found out:
You can use this item on your jacket however it will change it and give your jacket a slight sheen on it. I would recommend trying a small patch first. Also, you can send the jacket in and for a small fee Barbour does rewax jackets.
