FAQs
What does 'showerproof' mean for this cape?
Showerproof means the cape is treated to resist light rain and drizzle, helping you stay dry in damp conditions. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.
How do I know if size M will fit me?
The cape is designed for an 'M' size adult female, intended for layering. It offers a relaxed fit. For precise measurements, refer to the brand's sizing chart if available, or consider the intended generous, non-restrictive fit of a cape.
Can I machine wash this cape?
It is generally recommended to avoid machine washing Barbour capes. Spot clean with a damp cloth or consult the care label for specific instructions. Machine washing may damage the fabric or the showerproof treatment.
What occasions is this cape suitable for?
This cape is suitable for casual everyday wear, transitional weather, outdoor events where light rain is possible, and for adding a stylish layer to an outfit.
How do I maintain the checkered pattern's appearance?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Follow the cleaning instructions carefully to prevent damage to the fabric and print.
Is this cape warm enough for cold weather?
The cape is designed for transitional weather and layering. While it offers some protection, it is not intended as primary winter outerwear. You will need to layer warm clothing underneath for colder temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Cape is not shedding water effectively
The showerproof finish may have diminished over time. Consider reproofing with a suitable Barbour wax or proofing agent, following product instructions carefully.
Cape has developed a crease or fold
Hang the cape in a warm, steamy room (like a bathroom after a shower) for a short period. The steam can help relax the fabric. Alternatively, iron on a very low setting with a cloth barrier, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Visible dirt or stains
Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional dry cleaner experienced with outerwear.
