Full details
The Barbour Korbel Reversible Jacket is designed for adult males seeking versatile outerwear. Its key benefit is offering two distinct looks in one garment, combining a classic tartan pattern with a solid washed stone color, perfect for adapting to different styles and occasions. A potential caveat is its material, primarily polyester, which may offer less warmth than wool alternatives for very cold weather. This jacket features a high collar, zip fastening, side pockets, and elasticated cuffs and hem for a comfortable, regular fit.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is described as 'showerproof', meaning it is designed to handle light rain. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket would be recommended.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The jacket is primarily made of polyester.
Can I wear the jacket in very cold weather?
While the jacket can be layered for warmth, its polyester material offers moderate insulation. It is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a layering piece in colder weather.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket is designed for a regular fit. Refer to standard sizing charts for men's apparel and consider if you prefer a looser fit for layering when selecting your size.
What are the washing instructions?
It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature with mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Does the jacket have a hood?
This model features a high collar but does not appear to have an integrated hood based on the description.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the slider.
Jacket loses its water-resistant properties
Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for polyester outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Fading on one side of the jacket
This can occur with prolonged sun exposure. Follow care instructions to wash gently and dry away from direct sunlight.
Elastic cuffs feel stretched
Avoid excessive stretching during wear. If significant stretching occurs, it may indicate wear and tear over time.
