FAQs
Is the Barbour Basswood Gilet waterproof?
It is designed for transitional weather and light conditions, but it is not classified as a fully waterproof garment.
Can I wash this in a machine?
Due to the leather branding and sueded bindings, it is recommended to dry clean or spot clean by a professional.
Does this gilet run true to size?
Yes, this model corresponds to a standard UK size 8, with stretch panels providing a slightly flexible fit.
Is this garment suitable for very cold winters?
It is best used as a layering piece. In extreme cold, we suggest wearing it underneath a heavier coat.
How do I maintain the suede-bound edges?
Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and keep the nap of the material smooth.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on quilted fabric
Use a lint roller or a soft-bristled garment brush to gently lift debris from the diamond pattern.
Minor staining on leather branding
Consult a professional leather specialist to avoid damaging the finish with household cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your gilet in optimal condition, treat the leather branding carefully during cleaning. The garment is designed to be a standard fit for UK size 8, though the stretch side panels offer some forgiveness in sizing. We recommend professional leather cleaning or specialized care for the suede-bound areas to prevent cracking or discoloration. Always hang the gilet on a contoured hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar when not in use. Avoid storing in direct sunlight, as this can affect the longevity of the leather and fabric finish.
