A Barbour coat is a great kilt accessory. I recently procured one and it has been very effective in the wind and rain. This past weekend, however, I wore it with the kilt for the first time. I decided to take advantage of the double zipper to access my sporran and it worked just fine. The problem is that it won't go all the way back down and I can no longer unzip the coat. I had to pull it over my head to take it off. I know you can send it away to Barbour for repair but this is a costly process. The zipper seems to be in fine working order and goes up easily enough. There is no cloth snagged etc...
Am I just doing something wrong? Is there a technique to disengaging the zipper? There seems to a lock of some kind on the bottom that may be part of the problem.
