Which of these jackets is the best colour?

I am thinking to buy Barbour Beadnell either in Sage (green) Navy or Rustic (brown)
I can not decide what colour, is any of them rare or unusual?
I understand everyone likes the Olive which I’m not keen on..

I like the brown.

RockTheRunway · 25/04/2024 17:14

Not blue.

TheRainItRaineth · 25/04/2024 17:17

I like the brown one, too.

Whatwouldnanado · 25/04/2024 17:18

Is this a waxed Barbour jacket? I had a navy one which went with a lot of my other stuff. I didn’t like the smell of the coating though!

idontlikealdi · 25/04/2024 17:18

Neither are rare or unusual. I'd go brown. Be warned, they are warm.

TheTripThatWasnt · 25/04/2024 17:26

I'd go brown (or green, but you've said you don't like that one). The blue one doesn't look quite right to me.

OMGitsnotgood · 25/04/2024 17:34

It depends what you are going to wear with it or how much you care about that.

My 'bottoms' are usually black or navy so I would probably go for the green as it works well with both. But then I like the green, no point in buying a colour you don't like.

Thanks ladies.
Yes it’s the waxed Beadnell.

Not navy or sage.

Greenfunkycat · 26/04/2024 10:04

It seems brown gets the most votes!

Ive got the brown one, it looks knackered now but that’s because I’ve not cared for it or re waxed it. But it kind of adds to its charm.

Amx · 26/04/2024 12:03

I honestly think the original olive looks best, it's a classic for a reason.

NoImRenlea · 26/04/2024 12:05

I have the brown and it’s lovely and has aged very well

SaltyGod · 26/04/2024 12:08

Brown for me.

Navy, which I normally love, looks a bit off. Perhaps a little try hard but hard to put my finger on why I don’t think it works.

Greenfunkycat · 26/04/2024 14:09

Thank you, I never had brown coat , always khaki so I want to make sure the brown looks and ages nicely.
I had the olive briefly in a different type of Barbour jacket and not too keen on it so returned it @Amx

Sage or brown. Not navy blue.

LlynTegid · 26/04/2024 15:20

Brown of the three, usually prefer green but an exception with this jacket.

Greenfunkycat · 26/04/2024 16:25

Thank you everyone. I am actually quite surprised that almost everyone here prefers the brown one, I thought the navy one would be favourite of them 3 followed the sage and brown as last option!

Managed to order the brown one now for a good price!

I like the navy!

Greenfunkycat · 29/04/2024 21:34

Update
so I got the brown one and I think I look like an bloke in it lol!
My PiL has one too and I think I look like a man in it!
Or it looks like a man coat.
It must be colour of the jacket and the shine. I think I am gonna change it .
