I can only ever see Barbour as being a wax jacket, I'm sure they make other good jackets but I've got a mental block against seeing them as making something else. It's as if you've taken away their raison d'etre by picking another style but I know nothing about fashion.

Go waxy, the "Border" has huge internal pockets, perfect for transporting copious amounts of alcohol incognito should the need arise

and copious amount of shotgun shells....altho a true county-bumkin has a bag for that.

barbour quilted jackets and their look alikes are common as muck here amongst townie college types. wouldn't be caught dead in one, at least get one of the classic quality waxed barbours or get a nice coat if you want to look like an adult.

Loads of shells yes, but a bumpkin uses his pockets or a belt/bandolier

Waxed jackets are practical in that they keep the rain & wind out, but I couldn't stand the smell of mine. I gave it to my dad who uses it when he goes out horse riding.

I really don't see how and why people think they look good...
If you have a good figure, why hide it? The cut of it isn't that great.
If you want something no one has, why get this?
It's not CHEAP.
It's very dull looking.
It doesn't really go with anything.
Granted, it is very inoffensive.

Oh jesus christ calm your beans, they look nice, I somehow manage to get a fair amount of "I like your jacket" from way more stylish females than myself in my very generic american apparel barbour style jacket.
Also, ++ if you live in London, its so beautifully warm.

I quite like this, a Chelsea Sportsquilt from Barbour.
I'm 30 and have decided to try and drop the perma-teen look and dress more my age. I'm thinking either olive or blue. What say you fashion gurus of OcUK? What are your feelings on this piece of clothing?
nay (as in the noise a horse makes).
Just needs some riding boots to go with it.

I have some Hunter wellies and live in the country. No farm or lab though.
RaymondLin - they're quite tailored actually. I've tried them on and they look and fit better than the wax Barbours, even though it may not seem so in the pic.

It looks like a manky quilt with pockets.
It's just ... no. Don't do it.
