They’re a much larger outfit than Barbour. And they produce their stuff in Asia, unlike most Barbour garments.

I just got my 17 years old Barbour jacket back from an almost complete restauration and rewaxing. For the past 10-12 years I wore the jacket mainly while hunting or gardening. I craweld through countless thornbushes with it, and still it´s in a great shape. Over the years this jacket gains some sort of patina and it looks even better then the day I bought it. Thanks Barbour for your craftsmanship and your great products!

Just purchased and received my barbour ashby jacket yesterday and I was absolutely blown away instantly by its quality,it fits me like a glove,it hangs beautifully on the body,the zip is outstanding,the craftsmanship throughout is outstanding,by far the best clothes purchase I've ever made.

A worn in and used jacket looks so much better than a new one. So worth repairing and passing down the generations. Quality control didn't pick up the stiching of the new button. Orginal were all cross pattern, new one was parallel. Small detail, but as a customer that would annoy me.

In a throwaway culture that is fantastic. Somehow Barbour has passed me by until someone recently gave me a Beaufort and the details were amazing. I now own 3 Barbour jkts and will be using the company's service

As an American airman, I was stationed near Ipswich in the early 1980s. A local girl I was dating pushed me into buying a navy Bedale, even though it was expensive for me. "All the royal family wears them," she said. I didn't date her for long, but 40 years later I still wear the jacket occasionally in the fall. It's a bit tighter around the middle but It has held up well. It sure could use a waxing, though.... the jacket, not the girl. 😉

I have lived in Italy for 20 years. Summer and Autumn used to be my favorite seasons. The summer in Italy is horrendous. I've come to hate the sun. There are days in the summer when, if there is a breeze, it's ike stepping out into a convection oven. Now, with climate change, summers have become exponentially hotter and drier. I now find the summers bring on episodes of major depression.

Didn't even cross stitch the button to match the others, and the patch work could of tucked inside the jacket, then stitched for a more uniform look... Save yourself the money. Buy a tin of barbour wax for £15-20. Buy a barbour hood (same colour and lining as your jacket) cut up the hoods outer and lining to make repairs on your jacket. Waxing a jacket is very easy. Total cost £40-60 not £150-200. You will appreciate your garment more when you're the one who repairs and maintains it. It is really easy just need a good eye for detail and basic stitching skills

Ah communication, the repair supervisor said of the hand sewing operator, that she was going to "sew the button on from the 4 holes in the button from each corner crisscrossing the thread" which is an X like the other buttons on the jacket, obviously the operator has not been told this, what she does is sew a straight line to attach the button, like "I I", it is so obvious that this button is not sewn like the other buttons, it must be said that the operator is blind, if not, she is "out of it".
