Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a garment, the Barbour New Lowerdale Gilet requires no complex setup. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C. Avoid using biological detergents that may strip the fabric's finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally on a hanger to maintain the shape of the quilting. Avoid tumble drying as high heat can damage the synthetic insulation.
- Ironing: Generally unnecessary; if creases occur, use a cool iron on the reverse side.
- Compatibility: This gilet pairs best with base layers like long-sleeve tees, button-down shirts, or heavy sweaters. It is designed as a standalone piece or as a core-warming layer under a waterproof shell.
