Anyone own a Steve McQueen Barbour jacket?

Barbour isn't chav, and neither is Burberry anymore. It used to be, but the fashion/chav scene has moved on.

Now it's north face and berghaus.

Personally, I buy whatever the hell I like....chav or not.

Agreed, Barbour stuff is way too expensive.

I got my one from attic, I’m 5ft 10 and 90kgs and I got a large. It’s fitted but it fits me fine if that helps any

Cheers, that does help

I think “chav” people ruin brands, I’m not a chav by any means but I own clothing from all brands mentioned above but once the people known as chavs get a hold of them you don’t want to wear them. North face mainly up here hoody’s and tracksuits. Wouldn’t think barbour is chav wear at all.

I have about 4 Barbour coats, 2 of them the Steve McQueen models, and 2 Belstaffs.

The quality is phenomenal compared to normal brands and it's timeless style so won't need replacing every year or two. Barbour have overdone it a bit on the McQueen branding but the actual jackets are nice so I'll forgive a badge or emblem.

I don't really get the Barbour chav label. I'm from East Anglia, we are virtually swaddled in it from birth. Must be the TOWIE and MIC lot with their Barbour wellies.

barbour wax jackets - definitely not chavvy
barbour non wax jackets with logos everywhere - definitely chavvy

Barbour is just a poverty spec Belstaff.

Well, I received the jacket the other day. I have to say, it's damn nice, albeit rather fitted. Next on the agenda, some new boots.

Yeah they are nice, what one did you end up with? There’s a fine line on them for fitting I think but when you know which size to get your sorted.

I ended up getting this one -

I think my only real criticism of it, is that the sleeves are a little bit too long. Aside from that, it's all good.

He's a lot smaller than he looks in the films though.
