FAQs

Is the waistband adjustable?

The waistband is a fixed, standard fit, but the inclusion of belt loops allows you to add a belt for a tighter, more customized fit.

Does this skirt come in other sizes?

Yes, the Carville line is available in various UK dress sizes ranging from 8 to 16.

Can I machine wash this skirt?

Due to the delicate nature of the pressed pleats, it is strongly advised to check the specific care label; usually, professional cleaning is preferred to preserve the garment's structure.

What does the Re-Engineered line mean?

The Re-Engineered line features garments drawn from Barbour's vast archives, updated with modern cuts and details like the signature D-ring hardware.

Does the fabric stretch?

Yes, it contains 2% elastane, which allows for slight flexibility and comfort during movement while ensuring the skirt retains its silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Pleats look slightly wrinkled after storage

Hang the garment in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to allow gentle steam to relax the fabric, then smooth the pleats manually with your hands.

Hardware looks dull

Gently wipe the gold-tone D-ring with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove oils or fingerprints without using abrasive cleaners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile smart-casual aesthetic
  • Subtle, high-quality gold-tone hardware
  • Added elastane provides practical comfort
  • Excellent for layering with tights and chunky knits

Cons

  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain pleat structure
  • Limited stretch compared to casual jersey skirts
  • Hand-wash or dry-cleaning is often necessary to preserve form

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Carville skirt in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Hang the skirt using a skirt hanger with clips to ensure the pleats remain vertical and do not lose their crease.
  2. Styling: Utilize the integrated belt loops to experiment with leather belts to alter the waistline profile.
  3. Cleaning: Always consult the interior fabric care label. Given the precision of the pleats, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid crushing the folds or losing the structured finish.
  4. Compatibility: This garment pairs exceptionally well with knee-high leather boots or Chelsea boots, making it a seasonal staple for cooler weather.
