Product Information

Full details

The Barbour Connie Showerproof Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a blend of heritage style and functional, lightweight protection during transitional weather. This jacket offers a sophisticated checkered aesthetic with practical features like a fixed hood and secure zip closure, making it an excellent choice for daily errands or countryside walks. While it provides effective defense against light rain, users should note that it is designed as a showerproof layer rather than a heavy-duty waterproof garment, meaning it may not withstand heavy, prolonged downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

No, it is categorized as showerproof, meaning it is designed to protect you from light rain showers, not heavy or sustained downpours.

Can I put this jacket in the dryer?

It is recommended to air dry the jacket to prevent damage to the material and maintain the structure of the garment.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is constructed from high-quality polyester with a comfortable cotton-touch feel.

Does it have an internal pocket?

How should I clean the corduroy lining?

The jacket is machine washable at 30 degrees. The corduroy lining is durable and will be cleaned effectively during the regular wash cycle.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric

The jacket is showerproof, not fully waterproof. If water begins to soak in, ensure you are not staying out in heavy or prolonged rain. You may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if the fabric stops beading water.

Fabric appearing dull after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding bleach. Air dry the jacket naturally away from direct sunlight to preserve the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Barbour Connie Jacket in optimal condition, always follow the care label instructions. Because it is made of polyester, it is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the showerproof treatment from the fabric over time. For storage, hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, particularly the funnel neck and collar. If the fabric becomes wrinkled, a light steam pass may be used, but avoid high heat directly on the material. This jacket is highly compatible with casual attire such as denim or chinos and layers well over thin to medium-weight knitwear.
