Barbour City Chelsea Waterproof Jacket - Blue - L

The outer shell is a blend of 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton.

Yes, it features a waterproof and breathable membrane designed to protect against rain while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Machine wash at 30°C using a non-biological detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner or bleach, and do not tumble dry. Air dry only.

The 'longer silhouette' refers to a cut that extends further down the body than a standard jacket, providing more coverage.

Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. While it offers protection, wearing a thick sweater underneath will provide additional warmth in colder conditions.

The description mentions 'numerous pockets' and 'secure pocket setup', which typically includes external pockets. Specific internal pocket details are not explicitly listed but are common in jackets of this style.

The tartan back yoke is an internal design element that adds a traditional Barbour aesthetic and character to the jacket.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt. Consider reproofing the outer fabric with a suitable waterproofing agent designed for technical fabrics.

Check that fabric softener was not used. Ensure the jacket was air-dried away from direct heat. Gentle ironing on a low setting may help restore some flexibility.

Gently clean the zip mechanism with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zip lubricant to help it move smoothly.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. If the issue persists, it might indicate a breach in the waterproof membrane, requiring professional assessment.
