FAQs

What is the fit of the Barbour Crail Overshirt?

The overshirt features a relaxed fit, designed for comfortable layering over other clothing.

How should I clean the waxed cotton material?

It is machine washable at 30°C. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying, and high heat ironing. It's best to wash it separately to prevent wax transfer.

Can this overshirt be worn in heavy rain?

The waxed cotton provides resistance to light rain and showers. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.

What does 'mini ripstop weave' mean?

A ripstop weave is a fabric reinforcement technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. A 'mini' ripstop indicates a finer, more subtle pattern of this reinforcement.

How do I know if I need to re-wax the garment?

Signs include reduced water repellency (water no longer beads on the surface) and a drier feel to the fabric. Consult Barbour's official care guide for re-waxing instructions.

Is the grey color consistent throughout the garment?

Yes, the product description mentions a 'block colourway', indicating a solid, consistent grey across the entire overshirt.

Troubleshooting

Wax transfer onto other clothing

Wash the overshirt separately, especially during the first few washes. Ensure the garment is completely dry before wearing or storing it next to other items.

Reduced water repellency over time

The waxed finish may diminish with wear. Consider re-waxing the garment following Barbour's official instructions to restore its protective properties.

Stiff fabric after washing

This can be a normal reaction of waxed cotton to washing. The fabric should soften with wear. Avoid high heat drying, which can exacerbate stiffness.
