FAQs
Is the Barbour International Quilted Jacket waterproof?
This jacket offers good resistance to light rain and wind due to its quilted construction and high collar. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
How should I choose the right size for this jacket?
We recommend referring to the official Barbour International sizing chart, which typically corresponds to standard UK women's dress sizes. The adjustable belted waist allows for flexibility in fitting around your mid-section.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?
The jacket is best suited for transitional seasons like spring and autumn. For very cold winter weather, it serves well as a layering piece under a heavier coat, but it is not designed as a primary cold-weather jacket on its own.
What is the material of the polka dot pattern?
Info needed: [The product description indicates 'Polka Dot - Brown' but doesn't specify if it's a print, embroidery, or fabric weave. The main jacket material for other variants includes 'Polyester' or 'Fleece']. It is typically integrated into the main fabric or a durable print.
How do I care for the brass hardware to prevent tarnishing?
The brass-finish hardware should be wiped occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can strip the protective finish and cause tarnishing.
Does this jacket have an internal pocket for valuables?
Info needed: [The product description highlights 'multiple utility pockets' externally but does not explicitly mention internal pockets]. While many jackets include internal pockets, it is not specified for this particular model. Please check the product upon receipt.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or sticky when zipping.
Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle end or specific zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down a few times to distribute the lubricant.
Belt loops appear stretched or damaged.
Avoid pulling the belt too tightly or using excessive force when adjusting. If loops are significantly damaged, professional repair may be needed to maintain the jacket's aesthetic.
Quilted pattern looks flattened or creased in areas.
Gently pat or fluff the affected area to redistribute the padding. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods, such as when packed tightly in luggage. Light steaming (away from hardware) might also help.
Jacket feels too tight or too loose after purchase.
First, ensure the adjustable belt is correctly positioned and cinched to your preference. If the overall fit is still unsatisfactory, refer to the brand's sizing guide for women's dress sizes (UK 14 in this variant) to confirm you have the appropriate size. Sizing can vary between brands.
Faint stains or marks on the fabric.
Address stains immediately with spot cleaning using a damp cloth and mild soap. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. For stubborn stains, consult a professional dry cleaner.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality, appearance, and longevity of your Barbour International Quilted Jacket, please follow these guidelines:
- Read Care Label: Always refer to the internal care label for specific washing instructions. Most quilted jackets recommend professional dry cleaning or a gentle hand wash to preserve the quilting and fabric integrity. Info needed: [confirm specific washing instructions from product's care label].
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks or spills, gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Blot carefully; do not rub vigorously.
- Drying: Allow the jacket to air dry naturally on a padded hanger away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry, as this can damage the quilting, material, and hardware.
- Storage: When not in use, store your jacket on a broad, sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, preferably in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Hardware Care: Occasionally wipe the brass-finish hardware with a soft, dry cloth to keep it gleaming. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can tarnish the finish.
