Considering your statement above I suppose you should buy the Beacon. You don't need advice on whether to pursue your personal tastes.

Thank you all for the Aran/Fisherman suggestions. I went with LL Bean because I was already placing a holiday order there.
I have been thinking about getting my first waxed jacket. Everyone I know recommends the Beaufort. But what do you all think of the Barbour Beacon Sports Jacket? It is based upon the jacket that Daniel Craig wore in Skyfall. I have a proclivity of buying movie-inspired clothing. For example, when I bought my first Baracuta, I bought a red one because of James Dean instead of buying the generic navy blue one.
Well it depends how obsessed with accuracy one wants to be. James Dean’s red jacket was not a barracuta.I love my Beaufort (it’s probably my single favorite item of clothing I own), but if you want the one Craig wore, you won’t be happy with another style

Well, it certainly ain't Southern Trad to wear Pitti-Sprezza collar points over yer doggone jacket collar, CM!!

Very good point. I am not so obsessed with complete accuracy. Bond's Barbour was not actually a Barbour Beacon either. It was a Barbour x To Ki To collaboration that is no longer available.
I was talking to my brother. He convinced me to get a Beaufort. It is the more practical choice. I don't need another slim-fitting jacket like the Beacon. I have plenty of those. My real need is some outerwear which I can layer over blazers and chunky sweaters. Hence, the Beaufort being the more sensible choice.
New question. What are you thoughts on Sylkoil vs Traditional Waxed? I am guessing everyone prefers the traditional waxed.
