Barbour Jackets
Discussion
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!
For example, the amount of people slating red trousers in the other thread is ridiculous. I don't even normally bothe rlooking in any of the clothing advice threads on here, as everything seems to be "chav".
Anyway, The wax barbour jackets are nice, i have the sporting one with tweed shoulder patches which i love!

The quilted ones on men just look a bit poncy to me. There was a time, last year, when everyone seemed to be wearing them. They seem to be a fashion item rather than something functional.
My Mrs has a waxed Barbour which is pretty nice. Cost me £300 and some of the stitching on a pocket is coming loose after 12 months.

My quilted one is well used and has a shiney shotgun pad!My Mrs has a waxed Barbour which is pretty nice. Cost me £300 and some of the stitching on a pocket is coming loose after 12 months.
I had a look at the TOWIE cast on Google Images to see if my hair was like theirs. The closest is probably Mick Norcross ;-)
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.

Right, I have done this.I am really not convinced by the pair of grey trousers tied round my neck though, but hey - if Harry Styles is doing it!

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.

I saw lots of people in this uniform the last time I went for a drink in the City.

Barbour customer services are pretty good. I bought my wife a a wax overcoat and it faded quite badly on one panel after about 9 months. I sent it back to them and they returned it with a new coat as well.My Mrs has a waxed Barbour which is pretty nice.

So very true 
The last "What Coat" thread was a prime example.
