FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What is the difference between the Royston and traditional Barbour jackets?
The Royston is crafted from Barbour’s 4oz lightweight waxed cotton, which is significantly lighter than the 6oz or 8oz fabrics found on heritage models like the Bedale or Beaufort. This makes it an ideal transitional piece for spring and autumn, offering the brand's signature weather protection without the bulk.
How does the Barbour Royston jacket fit?
The Royston features a tailored fit. It is designed to sit closer to the body for a sharp, contemporary Harrington silhouette. If you prefer a roomier feel or plan to wear heavy layers underneath, many customers find that sizing up provides a more comfortable fit.
Is the Barbour Royston jacket waterproof?
While the 4oz waxed cotton outer provides excellent water resistance against light rain and wind, it is not "waterproof" in the same way a technical raincoat is. The jacket is designed to keep you dry during typical urban commutes and light showers while maintaining breathability.
Can I wash my Barbour Royston jacket in a washing machine?
No. You should never machine wash, dry clean, or use detergent on a waxed jacket. Doing so will permanently strip the wax coating and damage the fabric. To clean, simply sponge down the exterior with cold water to remove dirt and debris.
How do I maintain and rewax the Royston jacket?
To maintain its weather resistance, it is recommended to rewax your jacket once a year (depending on usage). Use Barbour Lightweight Wax (specifically designed for 4oz fabrics) to restore the finish. You can do this at home with a sponge and hairdryer or send it to Barbour’s official repair and restoration service.
Does the Royston jacket have a hood?
No, the Royston is a classic Harrington-style jacket featuring a stand-up collar with a two-stud fastening. It does not include a hood, prioritising a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
Is the jacket lined?
Yes, the jacket features a 100% cotton lining, often in a tonal Barbour tartan or plain cotton, which adds comfort and a layer of breathability against the waxed outer shell.
