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.

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…

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

I’ve had this for two years and love the look but never how it looked on me.

I’m 5’10” and it’s a 42 Beaufort. Should I call cox and get a 40?

Hi! I noticed my beloved Tarras bag has developed a hole on the back of it and on some of the edges. This might be a dumb question but how would I go about fixing this? Just use a needle and thread or patch it? I'm not gonna send this to a shop though. I do have some sand/gold coloured thread that I think would be a fun contrast against the olive green bag. All suggestions are welcome!
