Hey!
I was at a mens store yesterday trying on a Barbour quilted jacket, the model with corduroy collar. I believe the model is called liddesdale.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a good fit. I'm 6.1" and quite broad across the shoulders. The XL size was almost good across back and shoulders, however, when buttoned, the jacket creased across the chest, indicating it was too tight. The other issue was that size XL, while almost good across back and shoulders, meant a sea of fabric over my belly area.
Could the jacket be altered at a tailor? Or is there some other brands you recommend? A friend suggested Lavenham, but they don't have a retailer in my area.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.
