    nice mate, how's the fit as from what I have read/seen this can be a bit on the large & baggy side. the NTTD jacket that I have seen Craig wearing looks heavily tailored to suit from what I can tell, will you be doing the same.

    I just recently picked up a Navy quilted Lutz, it's a great jacket and I love the contrasting brown collar, neck buckle & strap also the underside of the pocket flaps...definitely worth a look especially if its a good price.

    Finally received my Beacon Sports back from Barbour (two & half months with them) after alteration to the sleeve length, must say they have done an excellent job to be honest.

    Just picked a up a navy quilted Lutz, what a lovely jacket....I thought it was going to be a little thick from looking at photos online but to my surprise, even though it's lined, it's actually not. This may just turn out to be my favourite jacket of all the Barbours that I own, well maybe a...

    I currently have my Beacon Sports Jacket in with Barbour UK, they are shortening the sleeves for me, removing and restitching the leather trim once complete, no problem.

    Looks great, I'm still waiting on mine to be returned from Barbour after the alterations, it's been a while....I know, I know, I should have sent it to Mallin & Son, I will definitely give them a try in the future.

    Offical Barbour Thread

    Certainly something to consider, Barbour have agreed to shorten the sleeves so I will let them continue with this but my question would be then, do you think Mallin & Son would shorten the jacket length on my Beacon or would they take the same approach as Barbour and say it can't be done due to...

    Quick question, I have finally had a response from Barbour UK regarding the alterations to my Beacon however, I had requested that they shorten the sleeves & jacket length by 2cm respectively however, they have advised that the can only shorten the sleeves but not the length as they don't do...

    Currently wearing my lightweight Sander at bit more whilst my Beacon sports jacket is away for alteration, great little jacket in my opinion.

    Having the jacket altered elsewhere, does that not void the barbour warranty though.

    Yes, had a look a the white lable in the left inside pocket, unfortunately no Country of Origin just the jacket model code. Not complaining as the quality & construction is excellent, the jacket is currently with Barbour UK having the sleeves & jacket length shortended slighty. So just a...

    I just recently picked up a new Beacon Sports Jacket, was checking all the labels for Country of Origin but couldn't find anything relating to this. Any idea where this model is made as I am guessing it's not in the UK however, quality, cut & fit is excellent.
