Both bags look nice, but I'm really excited about the Coal/Tote bag.  I have a Jack Spade already and it's got very similar details.  Nice bag too.  I like how the Barbour version zips shut.  I also like the leather handles.  Just noticed it even has leather trim on the inside as well.  Only thing I don't like is the collaborative label on the outside.  Considering taking it off.  Wouldn't mind a Barbour label to replace it.  Anyway, if anyone has been looking at one, Jack Spade has the duffle on their site.  It's on sale and use code MINUS25 for another 25% off the sale price.  Free shipping too.  I had to call a store for the Coal Bag, but the promo was the same in the store.  Guy I spoke with was really nice.  Told me the coats are more fitted than traditional Barbours.  They transferred their stock out, so I don't know if they went to NY or the website or what. 

Yeah, the Scott is definitely the biggest Tokihito I've tried yet.  I just wish it had pockets you put your hands in from the side because that would help a bit.

Had to look that Greenham up.  It's a McQueen.  Looks tough to find.  I actually like some of the McQueen stuff and that Greenham looks nice. 


I'm a 42R and I ordered the Large.  So far, other than the Wool Fishing, Larges have been OK.  Wouldn't mind a slightly bigger arm opening at the shoulder, but I'm fine with the rest even though they are a bit roomy at the waist.  Militarys cinch up nicely though.


+3.  I could see a navy pinstripe wool Tokihito Sporting Quilt for a SS season.  I'd have to see the finished article to say I'd like it or not, but that's the only Barbour outerwear piece I could see in a navy pinstripe.

New on here, I have a Barbour Cowan Commando, Had it for about 5 years. 

But this is the coolest Barbour I have ever seen, a real piece of military kit.




It is a Durham, that was customised and saw action in the Falklands campaign. A lot cooler then the faux designer stuff. I have purchased a Durham off ebay for £40, I've rewaxed it and will send back to the factory to have the arms lengthened. Best thing about barbours, the more worn the cooler they get.

I have a lead for the Greenham and I think it would be great as a spring piece. Like a minimalist International if you will
