It will lighten dramatically with wear. This is one of mine that's about 4 years old.

This is olive? Wowawee! It looks brown to me. Completely brown. How mad that it fades to this!

Yeah the change is pretty dramatic on most of the colours. My Beaufort in Sage started off almost black and is now a beautiful forest green. There's definitely a sweet spot where the patina is most visible and yet they're still waterproof. I hold off on re waxing until as late as possible.

Random question: do you guys use your Barbour jackets all the time or mainly when the weather is more wet/inclement?

I think they're really versatile. I wear mine in all weather other than when it's too hot for a jacket. I layer up when it's cold and just wear over a shirt when it's warmer.

All the time, almost every day, except in the summer -- then never.

I used to all the time, but now living a humid climate its hard to.

Love this. I almost wish I’d bought a vintage Barbour instead of new because I love the way they look as they age.

Nah, ageing it yourself is where it's at. Patience!

They look better with age yes but don’t want to carry someone else’s age and stories?

Thank you, I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on eBay. I had noticed that people sell on style forum too, do people put requests up?

Maybe I could get some expert advice. I posted a request above for trying to source a Barbour X Margaret Howell A7 jacket in size M (Olive).

From what I gathered online and eBay, a lot were saying this jacket is quite oversized. I purchased a size small. See picture but was disappointed that it felt a little small. I was hoping to get the fit closer to the official pictures, also attached.

Do you think that I just need to size up one to size medium to get this look or should I be going for large?

I feel the jacket looks a lot longer on the models, the models may be quite skinny or wearing bespoke versions.

Thanks for any help.
