    Barbour Ashby (S) - Navy

    Size small Barbour Ashby jacket bought in March of this year from Bloomingdales during their friends and family sale. Never really wore it as the jacket is just a size too big for me. I wear a size 34 beaufort and wanted to have a shorter jacket that I would wear with only minimal layers and...

    Napoli jacket. Trousers are at the tailor right now being hemmed. I went TTS, despite the recommendation for sizing down. I think the fit is OK, nothing is jumping out at me yet, I was afraid the shoulders would be too large given the measurements on the site, but what does a few more sets of...

    Barbour Beaufort 36 sage - SOLD

    Welp, moved up north and pulled this out of storage where its been sitting for the last year. It still doesn't fit me, so I'm bumping this up.

    Gustin "The Dark" Slim 31

    I overestimated when everyone said to size up. I should've bought the size that I usually buy, these are about one size too big for me. https://www.weargustin.com/store/43

    Offical Barbour Thread

     The difference is that the Ashby comes in lettered sizing vs. the Bedale. That said, from my experience, the cut is different between the two so comparing measurements doesn't work particularly well… example being that I size go a size down for Barbour's traditional wax jackets, but TTS seems...

    Offical Barbour Thread

     I have both a sage and sykoil beaufort. The non-classic one has a very strong green color. When you first get it, it almost looks black and is very slick and shiny, but when the wax breaks in, it gives way to a very rich green color and over time becomes something similar to an old army field...

    Barbour Beaufort 36 sage - SOLD

    Size 36 Barbour Beaufort in sage purchased new this past December that does not fit me as well as I'd like for a jacket that cost $400. Essentially new condition. No tears or rips or other signs of wear. $250 shipped to continental USA.

    WTT Barbour Beaufort 36 sage for 34

    I bought a brand new Barbour Beaufort sz 36 last December and it is a tad large for me. Does anyone have a size 34 Beaufort in sage or olive that they want to trade for a size up?

    Offical Barbour Thread

     it doesn't look too large at the bottom. I think the fit looks good, if anywhere looks too big it would be the shoulders. I think that most people can probably fit into multiple barbour sizes with how they're cut. My bedale is a 38 which is a size up from my typical jacket size but fits fine...

    Offical Barbour Thread

    I just picked up a Bedale in size 38 yesterday. After trying it on, I felt like I could've probably fit in any size between 34 and 38 depending on how I wanted it to fit. I picked up the 38 so I could wear both a sweater and the liner in it if needed be. Also, while it is certainly a generous...

    J Crew Fall/Winter 2010 Discussion

    I took a bit of a risk buying blind on a J. Crew ludlow jacket since I had the matching pants. Came in the mail today, actually surprised at how well it fits OTR. I hear about how all over the place J. Crew's sizes are, but I thought htis one was pretty true to size. Though it is definitely slim...

    even the upper end casinos are still filled with t-shirt donning tourists. there is no requirement to look like some kind of high roller. most aren't.
