Barbour Jackets

[AB]

Had a look at a few today. They really do feel quality and at reasonable prices.

What other recommendations do you have for jackets?

What's people's views on these;

As a casual jacket / nipping to pub etc?

I'm in need of a jacket and some inspiration.

Have you seen the Chav thread?

I tend not to bother.

Why?

Just buy what you like.

I will do.

I was after more opinions on quality than anything else.

Belstaff look great but the Paxton at £1,000 prices me out!

Thing is I quite like the quilted ones

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!

Seems that way.

The key with Barbour is surely never to wear anything which actually says Barbour on it.

One of the reasons I like the one in my OP.

That seems decent value at £70 but I prefer the cord collar from my original post.

Maybe there's a chav inside of me screaming to get out.

Then you have all the young wannabee fit in to PHers who dress like tits (Mat777)

If Matt777 has a quilted Barbour then I'm out.

[AB]

obob said:

Nah, he has a wax one with mould on.

So... wait a minute. I'm a chav and Matt777 is 'typical PH'?

[AB]

I guess what I was asking was "I like this style of jacket and I want to buy one. However, I believe Barbour to be a quality make at this price level, should I be considering anything else?"

A bit about me;

- 27 years old;
- Choice of cars are 62 plate Insignia as workhorse and E46 330Ci in the garage;
- Just bought a 4 bed semi for around £200k for me, the OH and our dog;
- Don't have an awful amount of disposable but need a jacket to keep me warm;
- Don't shoot amymore.

= Middle class boy needs middle class coat.

As a similarly middel class boy, I have always regarded Barbour quilted jackets as the lining for a thornproof wax jacket...

Generally I don't need to worry about thorns, and I don't need a wax jacket... I am concerned this makes me a chav?

Comes very lightly waxed, you can buy fjal raven wax block for a few quid that is very easy to apply if you want it more water resistant.

In black? That'd do fine, as it's pretty much a functional requirement.

I just need a jacket and I've never had anything better so that'll do me fine, thanks for the heads up.

Yeah but... you drive a Clio, so you're a chav like me.

[AB]

If only I was a City banker... I'd understand fashion

I'm so confused.

Can I wear a quilted jacket or not!?

[AB]

I wear an Omega SMP and double cuff shirts with cuff links, does this help my cause?

Or does further cement my place as lower-middle class car salesman?

[AB]

I now own the one in my OP.

Which is the right choice, wear what you want to.

The quilted one isnt particularly warm but it's ok with me as I generally suffer with the heat.

Cuts out the wind chill a bit which is nice.
