MADE IN ENGLAND Size 40 Barbour Gamefair--SOLD
AND
Barbour snap-in warm pile liner!
Possibly the perfect Spring jacket!
I'm doing some Spring cleaning, and I've discovered that I have WAY too many coats!
The first to go is one of my Barbour Gamefairs. Possibly one of the most desirable Barbour models ever, the original Gamefair was inexplicably discontinued, to be replaced by its current incarnation, which is a Durawax shell (?), has a large logo on the exterior pocket, takes a zipper liner, and the addition of a side security pocket. (One of these innovations is good, anyway!) The length of the Gamefair is between that of the Border/Northumbria and the Bedale and Beaufort, and so offers both the Border/Northumbria protection from rain and the ease of movement afforded by the shorter jackets.
The Gamefair features the Dress Gordon tartan lining, corduroy collar, poppers for the optional old-style snap-in warm-pile liner, a functional throat latch, YKK Barbour zipper, NO pocket logo, and very highly functional "fold-over" front bellows pockets. (These pockets are not just closed with the exterior snap-shut flap, but also have an additional length of material that folds over to protect their contents, a feature that is now only seen in the Barbour International.) It also has an integral game pocket on the inside front and interior cuffs inside the sleeves which can be closed tightly using poppers (NOT the velcro now used in the Borders and Northumbrias.)
This jacket is in the classic Barbour sage green.
This jacket could use a re-wax soon--an easy and, I find, relaxing, job you can do at home--and has the start of two tiny (i.e., 1mm) holes at the edges of the front pockets, which is almost standard in non-new Barbours! There are NO other abrasions, rips, holes, or snags! As such, I'd say that this is a used Barbour in conservatively Very Good condition.
Please PM with interest and offers!
MEASUREMENTS:
Chest: 24
Length (BOC): 32 3/4
Sleeve: Raglan, so hard to measure. But it seems to be about 33.5 from the middle of the collar--which makes sense, as Barbour sleeves tend to run short in all models. I chalk this up to being part of their charm!
NB: The thumbnails can be rotated when you click on them to enlarge them using the icon at the bottom of the picture, but they won't post rotated--my apologies!
In addition to the jacket, I also have a size 38 Barbour Warm Pile Liner that fits the Gamefair, Border, and Northumbria Barbours that take snap-in liners.
Although this is labelled a sz 38, this liner fits this Gamefair perfectly well.... and these liners are becoming increasing rare! IU ahve this liner listed at $35 in another thread, so I'll offer it here for $33, shipped
