Offical Barbour Thread

Here’s my 15ish year old Beaufort. Time for a new one or does she still have some life left?

Just barely run in by my standards

Curious why you repaired it with camo fabric vice something closer to the original waxed cotton?

Looks like it has plenty of life left. Were it mine, I would send to Barbour to have it repaired, restored and rewaxed by the manufacturer.

My mother is actually a (semi) professional seamstress so the price was right for this particular mend. She happened to have this camo fabric and I just thought it would give it a cool look. If I get her to patch it up a bit more, i might use a different cloth this time around and in fact will probably have to because I don't think she has any more of that camo. I like the idea of a patchwork mended, beat up Barbour. I'll post pics if I can convince her to do some more work on it (the baker's son has to beg for bread!).

Was originally inspired by Prince Charles' old field jacket:

The jacket Prince Charles is wearing is a John Partridge, not a Barbour.

For those with Ashby sweaty sleeve issues like i do - Barbour responded to my inquiry. For a fee they will replace the plastic sleeve liners with the same fabric as the rest of the liner.

All Barbour.

This morning I thrifted a Beaufort jacket and it looks and fits great.
One odd thing though, it has no zipper for a liner vest. No extra zipper.
Is this normal ?

If it’s an old one then yes. It should have poppers for the snap in liners.

Thanks. Yes I could tell it wasn't a Barbour from the photo but I wasn't sure what brand it was. After taking a look, the Partridge jackets do look really good as well. Might have to get one.

It doesn't have poppers either !
