Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?

It is classified as showerproof. It is designed to handle light to moderate rain but is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.

Can I machine wash the Connie jacket?

Please consult the interior care label. Generally, it requires a gentle, cold wash cycle to protect the polyester material and hardware.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is a fixed design to provide maximum coverage and protection from the elements.

How long is the jacket?

The garment has a back length of 61cm, which typically sits at or just above the hip for an average fit.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, as a lightweight polyester shell, it allows for air circulation, making it comfortable for active use in mild temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray to the exterior.

Corduroy collar appearing dusty or linty

Use a soft-bristled clothes brush to gently remove surface debris and restore the nap of the corduroy.

Zippers feeling stiff

Apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the teeth to improve sliding action.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Barbour Connie Jacket maintains its showerproof properties and appearance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Always check the inner garment label for specific washing instructions. Typically, polyester showerproof items should be washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally on a hanger to retain its shape. Avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the fabric fibers.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent color fading.
  4. Weather Compatibility: While it handles light rain, it is not a technical waterproof coat. If the garment starts to absorb water instead of beading it off, consider a re-proofing spray specifically designed for synthetic outerwear.
