Product Information

Full details

The Barbour Basswood Gilet is designed for adult women who appreciate a blend of traditional country aesthetics and modern, functional layering. It serves as an ideal transitional piece, providing core warmth without the restriction of a full-sleeved jacket, making it perfect for unpredictable weather. While its durable leather and quilted construction offer excellent comfort and style, users should note that the gilet is primarily intended for light-to-moderate layering rather than extreme winter conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the gilet waterproof?

The Basswood Gilet is designed for warmth and style; while it handles light mist, it is not considered a waterproof garment.

How should I store the gilet?

Store on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger in a well-ventilated closet to maintain its shape.

Does the sizing run true to size?

The gilet is tailored for a sleek fit, but the stretch side panels provide some flexibility. It is generally recommended to order your standard UK dress size.

Can I wash this in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather elements and the quilted integrity. Spot clean with a damp cloth only.

Is the leather real?

Yes, this model features leather components that provide durability and a premium aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Slight wrinkles in the leather surface

Allow the gilet to hang naturally on a shaped hanger in a cool, dry area to let the material settle.

Difficulty with zip movement

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and gently clear any debris from the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a garment, the Basswood Gilet requires no setup, but proper care is essential to maintain its leather construction and quilted finish. Since the outer material involves leather, it is highly recommended to keep it away from prolonged direct heat sources to prevent cracking. If the gilet gets dirty, use a damp cloth to spot clean rather than machine washing. For professional cleaning, consult a specialist who has experience with leather garments to ensure the sueded bindings and quilted fabric are treated appropriately.
