Hi, I received a jacket from Barbour which seems to have quite a spotty finish. Is this inconsistent finish normal?

The packaging looks quite 'worn' as well, the opening wasn't taped down, the jacket isn't folded neatly in any way, so I am not sure if I've been sent a worn return or what's up here.

Hi everyone scrolling through FB Marketplace and found a Barbour jacket for $200 and was wondering if you guys can help identify the authenticity of the jacket before I buy it. Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I Was carrying this package in heavy rain under my arm whilst wearing my Barbour Beaufort (which i know is in desperate need of a re-wax). Today I wanted to put it on and realised that some of the ink of the cardboard stained my Barbour. Tried rubbing it of with just some water very gently, but that didn’t help. I’m afraid a simple rewax won’t take care of this…

Just picked this up on Vinted for €140. Pretty happy with it from the photos, but I’m curious what the Barbour experts think.
Any idea what model it is?
These are the seller’s photos — jacket should be on its way to me now.

Dont really know how the beaufort is supposed to look so i thought why not ask the barbourians for opinions!

On the first 4 pictures I have the thickest sweater i will wear under them just for reference, the 40 feels a teeny bit tight but since i have a thick sweater under maybe that is okay. The 42 feels great with the sweater under but it looks maybe a little bit roomy without it. On the 4 last pictures i have only a t-shirt under.

Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone,

I bought a Beaufort dated 1994 with lots of cuts and splits, 30€.

I restored it using internal cotton patches plus polyurethanic glue, then I've rewaxed it.

I know that this kind of solution with glue is not the best about aesthetic, but I need this jacket strong and waterproof for mushroom harvest, walking in the wood and gardening.

Cheers 🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫

I’m from Japan and I’m a big Barbour fan. I’d love to see the rare pieces in everyone’s collections — vintage, collaborations, anything goes!

Here’s mine: a Barbour MWX1212 Spey with a rare factory error — it was made without the D-rings.

I was skimming jackets to pressure u/abrod520 into buying and review and this bad motherfucker pops up.

If it weren't so overly urban, I'd say they did the Cape Cotton Durham as much justice as Tokito. We need more of this plzplz

Ho cerato per la prima volta il barbour che ho regalato alla mia fidanzata. Non l'ho mai fatto fare da un laboratorio specializzato (ne abbiamo uno a Medicina in provincia di Modena) per il semplice motivo che costa 70€ e sinceramente non mi fido; più volte ho sentito clienti lamentarsi che, in corso d'opera, il laboratorio li ha contattati dicendo che durante la ceratura sono spuntati dei fori o dei tagli e che avrebbero dovuto ripararli facendo spendere molti più soldi. Sono del parere che sui modelli un po' più anziani bisogna frizionare molto attentamente. Dunque mi sono preso un momento di relax, rimosso le spillette dal colletto, pulito con acqua fresca, fatto asciugare, cerato con molta cura e infine soffiato con l'asciuga capelli con aria calda. Sono molto soddisfatto perchè ho usato una quantità minima di cera (il barattolo è ancora pieno al 80% circa) e il risultato è molto soddisfacente. A voi il parere finale!

Ciao amici!

Hi y'all, I don't see anyone reviewing this bag, so I think it'd be pretty cool to share this with you.

I acquired this bag for $100 on marketplace. It's made with canvas and leather, with iconic Barbour tartan lining. Originally it's saggy and not holding up in shape, I applied some tent-bee wax, now the canvas is darker and stiffer, love it. It goes well with my beaufort.

The leather bottom with metal studs are so nice, have enough compartment for all my things, only minor complain is the lining is a bit loose, I'm not sure about the durability of the lining. Hope to get much live out of this lovely bag. LMK what you guys think👍 I want to see more Barbour bags posted here.

Last photo is color difference between waxed and unwaxed.

I just thrifted my first barbour for 25€ only

Feeling a bit lucky

Bought this double warrant Bedale last week for £30 as I’ve been after one for a while. The wax is super thick in places and worn through in others. The material feels quite delicate. Does it look too far gone or should I just re-wax over old and patch it?

What to do with a heat wave? I decided to have my first go at re-waxing and I've put a few photos here of the two I've tried, a Bedale and Patchwork Transport. Not perfect, I can see where I've missed a few bits, but the wax certainly goes in easily when it's 33°c outside.

I used a microfibre cloth, I realise now that I need a brush or sponge for the bigger sections such as the back and length of the arms.

Before and after photo then a few "in progress".
