Wax jacket, where can I find one like my old Barbour?

With apologies if there are already loads of threads like this but I couldn't find any when I searched.

About 20 years ago I treated myself to a proper wax Barbour, sadly I've worn it to death.

I feel the cold so I didn't wear it when the weather got cold but it's seen me through spring, autumn and dismal summer walks for all this time. I did look after it but it really is falling to bits now.

So I want to replace it, my old Barbour was waxed and smooth. Looking at the newer versions they look like they come ready rumpled, rather than the smooth wax jackets of yore.

It doesn't have to be a Barbour, I'm not fussed on the make.

I'm looking for recommendations for a smooth wax jacket. I'm used to waxing one to keep it waterproof. If it has a removable warm lining, good collars and cuffs then even better - any recommendations please?

Barbour isn't really my area of expertise, but have you looked on eBay? You might even be able to find a like-for-like replacement if you can wait for the right one to come up. Appreciate this isn't necessarily an instant option!

Zinnia that's a good idea but I want (need!) one now. We live rurally and it was my go-to jacket outside of work. I'm mourning it's passing Smile
