FAQs

What material is the Barbour International Nia Gilet made of?

The gilet is made from 100% polyester for both the outer and inner lining.

How should I wash the Nia Gilet?

You should machine wash the gilet at 30°C. Do not tumble dry or iron.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The Nia Gilet provides moderate warmth and is best suited as a layering piece for transitional weather or as an additional layer in colder conditions. It is not designed as heavy-duty winter outerwear on its own.

Can the hem be adjusted?

Yes, the gilet features an adjustable hem drawcord that allows you to customize the fit.

What does 'cropped' mean in relation to this gilet?

A cropped gilet is shorter than a standard-length gilet, typically ending at or above the natural waistline, offering a more modern silhouette.

Does this gilet have pockets?

The provided product description does not explicitly mention pockets. Please refer to product images or further specifications if this is a critical feature for you.

What is the significance of the 'box quilting'?

The signature box quilting is a design feature that creates a pattern of squares across the gilet, adding to its aesthetic appeal and helping to distribute the insulation evenly.

Troubleshooting

Gilet appears to lose its shape after washing.

Ensure you are washing at the correct temperature (30°C) and avoid tumble drying. Reshape the gilet while damp and allow it to air dry flat or on a hanger.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. You can use a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a silicone-based lubricant to help it slide smoothly.

Quilting appears uneven or flat.

This can sometimes happen during shipping or storage. Gently fluff the gilet by hand or use a very low heat setting on a hairdryer from a distance, if the care label permits, to help restore loft.
