Vintage Barbour Beaufort Wax @ STP

[clausc]

Just bought this Barbour Beaufort jacket from STP with 30% off (email coupon) so really a bargain at 161 USD http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,...t-For-Men.html

This is a discontinued model of Beaufort (http://www.barbourbymail.co.uk/newpr...StyleID=106129. I am a little bit confused of different versions of the waxed Beaufort. I've seen forum discussions of Beaufort vs Classic Beaufort and tried in a shop the Contemporary Beaufort. I have a contemporary slim fit jacket that I cannot wear with a sport coat, that's why I preffered a Beaufort which is a bit longer, although a bit baggy for my taste. The classic Beaufort I tried was size 40. The Vintage Beaufort I just ordered is Medium, would it fit? Anybody has any idea of differences between the Vintage Beaufort and the Classic one?

"vintage" really doesn't mean what it should any more, right? I mean, this is not an antique, yes?

You are right....

I was a bit surprised that only 1 or 2 Barbour jackets at STP are still made in England..

There are original, classic, and vintage versions of the Bedales, Beauforts, and Borders. I have no idea what the difference is. I generally go for the original only because I prefer the studded liners to the zip-in.

I recently purchased an original bedale in sage from the outdoor and country store on sale for $178, which included the two-day courier service fee. All of their Barbour products are made in england.
