On the hunt for a traditional (no quilted bollocks) waxed jacket and i don't doubt Barbour stuff is the equivalent to Hunter wellies in that it's all 'badge'. So, does anyone know of good alternatives?

I have a Barbour Wax jacket and it's excellent.

Doubt it will be as good as they used to be being mass produced now. I bought mine in the summer in the house of Fraser sale for less than 50% of what they are for sale for now

I saw a Musto waxed jacket, if it's anything like the rest of Mustos gear it will be excellent.

They do seem pretty good but i'm not convinced they're £250/300 quid good. They had naff all sales on over xmas (tried John Lewis and House of Fraiser), perhaps i should hold off until summer then.

Dave - Tar, will have a gander at Musto

If you can hang on then do. Mines just the traditional green "classic" style.

Was £115

What about Aquascutum? They've been making rain coats and overcoats for ever. Do they do a wax jacket?

Buy older one, send it to Barbour to be refurbished, they do a top job! Or get a Belstaff

Not sure about Belstaff jackets, they look a bit ummm....

Did have a quick look on eBay for secondhand ones, they seems to keep there value well It's certainly food for thought (/temp measure) if i can snipe one dirt cheap and get it restored by Barbour themselves though.

I have a Barbour. They last a lifetime if cared for and are certainly worth the money.
