Thoughts on Barbour jackets ?

[Anonymous]

Not the quilted ones necessarily, more the waxed or traditional style

Love. Very preppy.

I love my trad Bedale jacket, and wax it myself. Waxed Barbours have a distinctive smell that's not for everyone, however. They come into their own in vile weather and unlike more modern, "technical" sportswear, have a certain panache that I like.

I like them on other people but they're just too boxy for me.

I own two. I like them, although I wish Barbour wouldn't put their name, subtly yet unmissably, right on the jacket front. I don't like designer names on my stuff as a general rule.

I bought two of them from Sierra Trading Post, and they are somewhat practical: waterproof but no hood, and the wrong shape for my body.

I wouldn't pay full price for one unless you knew it fit you well.

Love mine, which is wool lined and seemed to be the right weight to wear from fall till spring. It does have a hood so is good in rain and snow.

This is the only jacket that shows off my curves. I love the cut. I bought the olive color, so perfect for fall.

My DH lives his. It's nice but not really my style.

Classic, preppy, not flashy

I got min at 18 before I went to college and I am still wearing it at 39. Sent it back once to repair a hole.

I got the Eddie Bauer version of the waxed field jacket because I thought it had a more flattering cut: Eddie Bauer Kettle Mountain Stormshed Jacket.

I originally bought it for its intended use-- I do retriever field training with my dog. But I like it so much that I've ended up wearing it all over the place!
