Quilted barbour jacket. Yes or No?

[MoomieAndFreddie]

I really want one

this one

Am I being a fashion sheep?

And does anyone know where I can get one cheap

I like it. My DH is in to Barbour at the moment. There is a Barbour discount outlet near me- do you have any near you?

My natural instinct would be to say, 'NO! For the love of God, NO!'
However these retro, spoony English nob-type clothes are very fashionable. Look at Jack Will stuff. Young trendy people are buying quilted green jackets like the queen might wear with her headscarf at Balmoral.

There's no accounting for tastes.

Would be fine but for the glaring Barbour logo.

As for getting one cheaply, there are plenty on ebay.

I have one of those and I love it. It is really flattering.

I personally think they are a bit everywhere atm. I like my Barbour (traditional shaped waxy one not padded), but now only wear it when actually in the country/doing outdoorsy things, not in town. They look warm though.

It's not that warm actually! It is good for the autumn but isn't really a winter coat.

I had my first Barbour (green wax Gamefair..deeply unflattering) to go to University..in 1986.

It is still perfectly serviceable now!

This summer I bought a navy quilted Barbour and and hoping it will have a similar length of life.. should take me to my retirement . I know it's not always the case but sometimes you do get what you pay for.. I am not into fashion but I do like quality!

Just don't wear a headscarf like the Queen...!

I accessorise mine with a brace of corgis not!

I'd say no. They're everywhere now and besides, they're thin and don't have a hood so completely impractical for British weather. And £179 for quilted jacket

OP I've just bought a black international. On a whim.

Actually I really like it.. it's warm and looks smart.

I've had mine 3 years and wear it loads so I think it was worth the money.

I know they are everywhere - i think thats why i want one....god I really am a fashion sheep

They are very cosy

Well then, I'm a sheep too. Have been promised the grey one by my OH, it is very flattering!

I think that even though this year they are everywhere, next year they won't be but the jacket is such a timeless classic that it won't matter (and it shouldn't).

I know someone who is buying one for her DOG.

I really like it - I wouldn't buy a cheap copy.

They are everywhere, though. Will this bother you? If not, then I think you should buy it because it is a lovely jacket.

Last winter they became the ubiquitous uniform of the, er, less than stylish type. So I would say no.

HA!! porky that just PROVES how shit i am at fashion. I am even a year behind un stylish people

They are everywhere.

But nobody looks as good as me in mine. delusional
