I tend to stick with a Barbour coat. Lovely and warm and goes well with any tweed jacket underneath. If I'm wearing a city suit in winter, then I switch to my navy blue Crombie coat.

I have had my eye on the Barbour Sapper for a few months. Tried it on a few times and it's a nice fit. Feels like it could survive some real heavy use too.
I would love a Burbery trench coat too, but they are well beyond my means.

Mine is a Barbour Northumbria jacket. They're a good investment. I've had mine for nearly twenty years and it still looks as good as new....

They are nice jackets only trouble I found with most barbour jackets on cold days they are so stiff
and they need treating with wax depending what persuits they are used for.
One of the many reasons I love the winter is the great sartorial options it opens up. I love coats and jackets. So much more to work with than in the summer.
Currently hunting for a new tweed jacket though, as my usual one is designed for arctic storms, and is a little warm for most of the winter. Have found a lovely tweed by a company down in Chichester though, so hoping to get something knocked up in that once I've had a bit of money coming in from this season's shoots. I love this pattern, with a hint of lilac in there, currently seen on my flat-cap...
It's lovely, isn't it. Sadly, it sounds like it's designated to an estate somewhere, so my plan to use it as a company tweed for when we're hosting shoot days went out of the window. The producer has been good enough to let me have some plus-twos and a jacket made up though, for personal use.
Certainly will do. He's also suggested I pop down and visit them in the New Year once things have quietened down and we'll look at getting a similar tweed designed for use on my shoots. Sounds like they can do it for very little more than one of their standard tweeds. That, I have to say, would be bloody amazing.

The upside of these is that Barbour will endlessly recondition, rewax, patch, repair frayed cuffs etc etc etc great proposition. The sapper is a nice coat, too short for my gorilla like frame, northumbria is a classic...

The lifetime reconditioning ended this year sadly. At leat thats what i was told at my local retailer. The company will still honour past sales, but new sales do not get that benefit due to their current volume of sales making it unsustainable.
I sincerely hope i was misinformed.

Oh no! Even as a paid service? You'd think as the product has become commoditised and range diversified you'd get better prices to go with a service reduction. Same product, less service, means indirect price increase.... Poor show! I suspect you are better informed than me... I just assumed it was still 'live', as i never imagined they would stop it!!
Most decent northamptonshire based shoe makers will do something similar for shoes.... Paid service, but bring them back up to nearly new! Worth doing for your favourite pair. Certain shoemakers, if you spend enough, with resole etc gratis....

Im pretty sure there will be a probably high price paid for service (Pure conjecture on my part). When I'm next in town I will question the retailer who informed me, though I might get a better answer by asking the manufacturer as there is no guarantee I have been informed correctly.
