Owning a Barbour waxed jacket is indeed like having an 'old friend' with you Ash! Couldn't agree with you more with regards its virtues, particularly the fact that it is rugged, dependable and improves with age. It is certainly an investment wardrobe piece - one that rewards the owner for many, many years!

My Barbour Moorland jacket (a Beaufort model of heavier fabric) is now over 26 years old. Rewaxed numerous times and sent back to Barbour for several repairs - patches inside and out along with leather trim on the cuffs.

One of the numerous gifts from the UK to the World. It’s like having a trusty companion. You build a special relation with it.

Wow First with a comment! Barbour Jacket was my fathers choice for years. I borrowed it and liked it even though it was too small. Oh, I used a safety razor for the first time today. 40 pounds, 4 blades included. A giant leap towards Chap Nirvana. Cheers.

Following early retirement, an exercise in shedding 4 stone and improving my fitness, I rewarded myself with a UK made Barbour Beaufort. Quality components and a great fit. Well worth the investment.

My Beaufort is five years old and is my favorite year around jacket. I've never waxed it because it has the great look of aging quite well. Here in the USA, the Barbour is a jacket that sets one apart from the North Face, Columbia, Under Armor and other modern jackets.

Really good to hear your thoughts on the jacket. Very well rounded.

Had my Barbour 5 years or so now. Rewaxed it once myself and the last time I sent it back to Barbour, came back like new. Excellent jacket.

I opted out of getting a Barbour waxed jacket. Instead I went with a Ralph Lauren waxed jacket with all the bells and whistles. Belted, leather trim on all trims, corduroy on cuffs and collar. I have had it for over 8 years. I haven’t had to re-wax it but I wish I did have that option to send it in and get it re waxed. Love the content! Class!

The jacket is much more reliable than the Land Rover. Thank you for this review.

I bought the Barbour Beacon with leather laps last year and love it. Daniel Craig wore it in Skyfall. Fits like a sports jacket.

I rewaxed my 26 yr old Bedale last September '23 and it came up like new. Bombproof and classy.

I personally wear a quilted jacket often. Big pockets, simpler and warm. No patina since not a waxed coat. I find it a chore to wax the jacket. My old friend is my around 40yrs old leather pilot jacket with detachable wool collar. Bought it new when I was around 17, Almost got rid of it now loving it. Awesome patina. Unique. And still fits me. Keeping my body shape.

You're the "Kingsman" of Youtube. Well done Sir!

Great to see you cover this! I so look forward to autumn, out come my Barbour jackets! Whether dog walking or the office (with a tie) and around town (with a nice jumper) they’re so flexible.

I have owned my Barbour Ogston for a little over a year now. I last rewaxed it 7 months ago, after trying many different types of wax from different brands. I can say that Barbour's own wax and Martexin wax both work well on many other wax cotton items, not gonna rewax anymore to see that patina everybody talk about. So my Barbour is now ready for the cold season. It's my go-to jacket(unless it's snowing then I switch to my duffle coat) for the cold months and it can dress up or down. This model has many material I like, including the wax cotton shell, corduroy trim, wool-mix lining, and quilted zip closure that looks like a vest or gilet I think the british say. It also has leather elbow patches, which I condition in the spring before putting it away until next winter. I was thinking of saving up for a classic Bedale since they released a brown color. I believe that if a Barbour says "classic, " it's made in the UK. Mine was made in Bulgaria and it is holding up well so far. I reccomend a retail brand "Orvis", not only they carry Barbour but also they can send it to barbour to rewaxing or fix for a fee. So far I'm keeping this for as long as I can to make my money worth.

Barbour have "earned" their reputation through many years of producing a range of products which utilise top quality materials AND manufacturing practices. They do not tell you how lucky you are to have been selected and approved to buy their coats. They stand behind their products unconditionally! The return on the investment is in the comfort given to the wearer. I wish that certain guitar and watch manufacturers would take the time to learn what "value added" truly means. Thanks again Mr. Jones for your informative and valued opinions.

Hi Ash. You're spot on with the Barbour. I'm a seasoned old hill walker and the Barbour is my go to jacket for damp, drizzly days and breezy Autumnal walks. It will keep one warm and dry in such conditions. However, as you rightly point out, it's not for downpours. For those conditions one needs a goretex with velcro sleeves, a forward peaked hood with zip and studded front. I use Berghaus but similar jackets such as North Face will do the trick too. As well as the practical aspect, I find my Barbour quite fashionable and easy to wear around town. It always helps to know the limits of one's garment.
