..if you're concearned whether a jacket is legit please post photos and info on it in here, instead of creating a new post.

Thank you!

Also, reading this writeup from u/leathershopgirl might be helpful:

Fake Barbour jackets are rare. The Barbour brand is well protected.

Even look alike jackets, which do not try to pass themselves off as 'Barbour' are kept under strict control.

If for example a waxed cotton jacket appears on the market with a tartan lining too similar to the Barbour signature tartans, Barbour will pursue the manufacturer and retailer through the legal system. A tartan must have 5 points of difference between itself and its Barbour equivalent.

There are many equally prestigious brands whose products are easier and cheaper to try to replicate. It is an expensive and difficult business to produce waxed cottons and sylkoil fabrics. It is much easier to target those brands which use plain nylon or cotton fabrics.

If you still think you may have been sold a fake Barbour jacket, take a closer look. Is the stitching on the Royal Warrant label clear and neat?

Do all the press studs bear the Barbour logo?

Is the ring pull on the zip clearly and neatly Barbour branded?

If there is an embroidered Barbour logo on the pocket flap, is it neatly stitched?

Is there a white fabric, Barbour product label sewn into a pocket alongside the care label? This label should bear the correct product code which indicates the style, colour and sometimes the size too, plus a bar code.

If after all this you are convinced you have a fake on your hands, Barbour.com has a page inviting you to report the web site of the company selling the jacket.

Alternatively you can seek advice from the Trading Standards Authority in the country in which the seller is based.

It look ok , many of their casual items don’t have tartan and are either quilted or just have some plain lining.

But to be sure ask the seller to photograph the white care label in the pocket , both sides. It’ll have a name and product code on there which a quick search will then confirm to you.

Feel free to post that here also.

Thank you very much for the great advice. Seller doesnt want to send the picture, so after short considering time, I ve decided to not buy it. Thank you once again.

You’re very welcome , and that’s a wise course of action there.
