Looks terrific!

I think it fits too. But there's simply no way to know for sure.

Certainly looks like a generous fit. Sleeves are a little long, with the knits tunneled almost out of sight. And these pictures are with a hoodie layered underneath, so I guess it would look pretty oversized if you did wear it with just a t shirt.

To whom? If you've got the thing you wanted, why does it matter what anyone else thinks? To answer your original question; yes, it fits.

I'm not sure what you were asking then. If you've decided on this size, this maker and this style, what opinions were you hoping for?

I have rewaxed Barbours many times over the years, using exactly the method @RDS outlines. You get quicker and it gets less messy with practise. I also sent my International back to Barbour one for a rewax and repair. It was like new when I got it back from them, and only cost about £30 at the...

Good to hear he's ok, but a shame he's no longer around here.

It might be just me not paying attention, but I can't recall seeing @Marc_mndt or @Dav around for a while. I think Marc had a name change? But I don't know why. And I miss seeing Dav's porch Highwayman photos.

I've had the same Oops! message many times over the last week.

Both my bikes put together couldn't total 205.

It fits you superbly well.
