NEVER ask for fashion advice on this forum. Think essentially about where you are? The sort of people that do thousands of posts on a car forum, are not the sort of people you want to be askign for any sort of advice. The majority are all geeks, who think a pair of stonewash baggy jeans and a t shirt are what you should be wearing!
So very true 
The last "What Coat" thread was a prime example.
Especially when many, like you say, consider their particular 'style' as 'it'

Anorak over a suit?
Buy an overcoat man!
I do have a couple of overcoats and not one of those Barbour things. But then I'm not fashionable, stylish or trendy so what do I know?Buy an overcoat man!
Actually, I'm not the best person to give advice on fashion. I don't dress my age and can't stop thinking about camo. Fortunately, it's "on trend" at the moment so I won't look like Mike from Spaced.

If you get a quilted one, be sure to wear it over a shirt with an absurdly fat windsor knotted tie round your neck and a pair of trousers. Extra points if the trousers are grey, the shirt black and the tie, a different shade of black. Shiny, pointy shoes complete the look and no, I wouldn't like 'Supaguard' thanks.
I saw lots of people in this uniform the last time I went for a drink in the City. 
Had a Barbour in my youth. I wasn't impressed with its sturdiness. I managed to wear through some fold in the sleeves. I also found you could either have it waterproof and sweat like a pig or allow the wax to thin, not sweat, but lose the proofing.
I've since moved to an RM Williams oiled cotton coat. Much better all round.

For chavs ?,The people queuing up for them at the Barbour factory shop in South Shields would argue otherwise.
Never seen chaos with new Range Rovers filling up with Barbour gear before.
Because Ranger Rover owners only shop at high end outlets, right? That'll explain the guy in the white Ranger Rover Sport who I spotted going to B&M Bargains then. Never seen chaos with new Range Rovers filling up with Barbour gear before.
I've got a black 4oz lightweight barbour which has been fantastic, very light and wraps up small, no bold logo etc.
Also just got hold of the Beacon Heritage which is a olive 6oz waxed Barbour but cut as a sports jacket, some really nice details (leather trimmed cuffs & collar, shoulder and elbow reinforcement, poachers pockets around the back, two big bellow pockets) and again, no bold logo.
