for those barbour lovers. quick question for you. i m thinking picking up a bedale, should i go for olive or navy, which color is more versatile in terms of office/weekend use.


I'd go w/ olive. Navy would be a bit more difficult to pair back against denim, no?

+1 on olive. I got a J. Crew catalog last week and saw a nice olive Barbour jacket on there. I swung by a local branch to order from the red phone and a small is all gone. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

ok sounds like olive/sage it is then. i think olive/sage goes better with gray/black/blue suits and khakis/jeans than navy.

thanks y'all

now, let's hope i can find some good deal this Fri. :slayer:

I have a like-new Barbour Beaufort in Sage (size 34/small) that I'm willing to let go for $225 if anyone's interested.

The correct answer was one of each ;) but if it's versatility the olive has the edge. If you're wanting to wear it over sportscoats for work you might want to look at the Beaufort - it's just that bit longer.

The Kittery outlet opens at 10am. I was there today but passed on getting anything to hold off til friday. Not much good as far as Tokitos go, but there were Shackleton and Oats Tokitos there now.

Factory store in NH has a 30% off everything sale going on right now. They open at 9am. Sale started on Monday

The Factory only has 3 Tokito trenches and a quilted Tokito. I think maybe one other Tokito but it just said sample so i dont know what style it was.

Kittery will have waxed stuff on sale just not the 3 racks of Bedales and Beauforts. They arent allowed to discount them from the $350. But the Factory has all the same jackets for $175 right now. Id recommend going to the Factory store tomorrow.
