A plain cotton crew neck in a soft neutral marl. The Blythe is the sweatshirt you reach for without thinking about it — no blend, no bulk, no fuss.

• Made from — 100% cotton. No synthetic content, so it breathes properly, takes a wash well and softens with wear instead of going shiny at the cuffs.
• Wears like — a straightforward crew neck with a Barbour motif at the chest. Works as a mid-layer under a jacket or on its own once the sun gets going. Neutral marl is the easiest shade in the range to build an outfit around.
• The Barbour part — Barbour has made hard-wearing, useful clothing in South Shields since 1894. The sweatshirt is the everyday end of that same instinct: plain, durable, and built to be worn rather than saved.
• Who it's for — anyone who wants one good sweatshirt rather than three cheap ones. Layers under the Transport jacket on a cold morning and stands on its own by the afternoon.
• Looking after it — machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, turned inside out. Re-shape whilst damp and it keeps its fit. Do not tumble dry, do not bleach and do not dry clean. If you iron it, iron on the reverse only — never directly onto the motif.

Founded in 1894 in South Shields, Barbour is synonymous with British heritage and outerwear built to last. Explore our full Barbour collection.
