Product Information

Full details

The Barbour Vennel Textured Check Overshirt is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, stylish layer for transitional weather. Its key benefit is the combination of classic Barbour checks with a modern textured crepe fabric, offering both warmth and a distinct aesthetic. A potential caveat is its intended 'overshirt fit,' which is looser to accommodate layering, so consider sizing down if a more tailored look is desired.

FAQs

What material is the Barbour Vennel Textured Check Overshirt made from?

The overshirt is made from 100% Cotton with a textured crepe fabric.

How should I wash this overshirt?

You should machine wash it at 30°C and wash with similar colours.

Is this overshirt suitable for cold winter weather?

It is designed as a transitional layer, best suited for moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, additional layers underneath would be necessary.

What does 'overshirt fit' mean?

An 'overshirt fit' indicates the garment is cut looser than a standard shirt, specifically designed to be worn comfortably over other clothing like t-shirts or sweaters.

Can I tumble dry the overshirt?

The care instructions recommend machine washing at 30°C and do not specify tumble drying. It is best to air dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and prevent shrinkage.

Does it have inside pockets?

The product description mentions patch breast pockets and front slip pockets, but does not specify inside pockets.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.

Gently reshape the garment while damp and allow it to air dry. Alternatively, use a cool iron on the reverse side if necessary.

Check pattern alignment seems off.

This is often a characteristic of the textured fabric and woven check. Minor variations are normal and contribute to the garment's unique appearance.

Sizing feels too large.

Remember the 'overshirt fit' is designed for layering. If a slimmer fit is preferred, consider purchasing one size down from your usual size.
