FAQs

What is the primary material of the Barbour Ettrick Overshirt?

While specific material composition isn't detailed here, Barbour typically uses durable cotton blends for their overshirts, often incorporating wool or synthetic fibers for warmth and structure. Refer to the product's specific care label for exact material details.

How should I determine my size?

Consult the brand's sizing chart provided by the retailer for accurate measurements. Pay attention to chest circumference and sleeve length for an optimal fit.

Can this overshirt be worn as a primary jacket?

It is best suited as a layering piece or a light jacket for mild to cool weather. For significant cold or rain, a dedicated outerwear jacket would be more appropriate.

Is the tartan pattern exclusive to this specific overshirt?

Barbour utilizes various tartan patterns across its collections. The multicolor plaid on the Ettrick Overshirt is part of their seasonal or core offerings, reflecting the brand's heritage.

How do I care for the Barbour tag?

The discreet Barbour tag is typically made of woven fabric and can be cared for following the general washing instructions for the overshirt. Avoid excessive abrasion.

What occasions is this overshirt best suited for?

It is ideal for casual events, weekend wear, outdoor activities, and social gatherings where a smart-casual aesthetic is desired.

Troubleshooting

Overshirt feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes occur with natural fibers. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals. Gentle ironing on the reverse side may help restore softness.

Tartan pattern appears faded.

Ensure the garment is washed inside out with similar colours and on a low temperature setting. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.

Zip fastener is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to work the zip back and forth. Applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the teeth can help lubricate it.
