When I was in London in Februay, when the barbour bug hit, I tried one on in a shop..they were asking 169 pounds...I thought for that much money I could wait...I have seem these for as low as $250 (I checked my records) shipped...for $205 I will buy one today, so I am waiting for a reply to my email....great price.......UK made not New Zealand made I assume.....

Thanks again

Interesting Find at Orvis Outlet in Manchester, VT

I got a card in todays mail about an upcoming sale at Orvis in Manchester VT in a week or two regarding 50 to 70% discounts, so I called to see if they may have any Barbour jackets on sale then...well, I didn't realize I was calling the outlet and found that they had a Barbour Beaufort Classic (the one with the dull finish, same as the waxy look, still waxed canvas, just one step less in the finishing, supposed to look like a 2 year old barbour)... for 50% off, so $173.50 or so....great price...not sage (as I was looking for) as these come in Olive, but I felt it was worth a look..this was a jacket that was ordered and returned for whatever reason, so it does not go back to the store or the catalog...So I will take a look at it and see how I like this Sylkoil finish..as I said, supposed to be the same material, same properties, just not shinny, still 100% cotton and rewaxable...I was lucky that they had my size....I guess being patient, not my best virtue, can pay off...good thing I was not looking during the fall, I never could have held out.

There's another Orvis outlet in North Conway, New Hampshire. Everytime I am in there they have Barbour jackets and not just the waxed; they also have the tweed jackets. Also, Orvis' outlet has Harris Tweed jackets as well. I recommend a visit.
