Product Information

Full details

The Barbour Men's City Chelsea Waterproof Jacket in Navy is designed for adult males seeking a waterproof and breathable outer layer that maintains a smart appearance. Its primary benefit is offering reliable weather protection without the typical 'crinkled raincoat' feel, thanks to a structured polycotton outer and a longer silhouette. A potential consideration is its material composition, which may require specific care to maintain its performance and aesthetic.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the jacket's outer shell?

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

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

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

How should I clean the jacket?

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.

What does 'longer silhouette' mean in terms of length?

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

Can I wear a thick sweater under this jacket?

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

Does the jacket have internal pockets?

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.

What is the purpose of the tartan back yoke?

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

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

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

Material feels stiff after washing

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.

Zips or fastenings are stiff

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.

Inner lining feels damp

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