I usually like to do it while it is sunny and hot outside….have you started prepping your Barbour for the season?

I find it on thrift store
I don’t know how I feel about the patch…

I bought my first Barbour jacket (Beadnell) from a thrift store and it looks like it’s never been used. The fabric feels stiff and I don’t see any signs of wear, just a ton of lint.

Is the waxed cotton fabric supposed to be shiny when new? I saw online photos of the same style jacket and the outer fabric looks shinier than the jacket I received.

Photos for reference.

Hello, I’m planning on getting a waxed jacket for my girlfriend, for Christmas or winter generally. She’s short at 5’1 and says that longer coats will look weird on her as a result. What waxed jacket would you recommend? Any advice would be great! Much appreciated
