Dear all,
Today, I unfortunately learned that the recent Barbour made jackets (Border and Northumbria) are only available as silkoil version. Apparently, they use this material now for many years. Since I am used to the "classic" material, finish and smell of the thornproof Barbour jackets (which my first and only jacket, which I used for more than 20 year, still had), I am not looking for an alternative.
Does anyone have a hint, where I could find a jacket similar to the Border/Northumbria cut and made from thornproof waxed cotton? If possible with the option to buy a bespoke made one?
I know that there used to be a manufacturer named Claymore Jackets (don't know if they offered thornproof, but the sold bespoke jackets), but the website seems to be down for a while now.
Many thanks!
Best regards,
Max
