Thanks for the examples. But we all have our stereotypes. It can be called iconic and can be called historically significant things. In addition to the fact that everyone has different interests, it is impossible to cover everything.I'm not talking about full on modern tech wear. I'm talking about things with quite a bit of heritage appeal.
Barbour is quite different from Fjallraven even though both have waxed cotton products. The Beaufort (and Border, its longer version) is one of the most iconic and beloved jacket designs for good reason.
This Buzz Rickson's repro of a classic American design has been a newer fave of mine.
Everyone's experience and living conditions are different. Just one example. If I have to choose between only two then I will choose Fjallraven over Barbour for outdoor. Fjallraven has more pockets and looks more comfortable. If I need formal wear I will not choose Barbour under any circumstances. I simply do not have the opportunity to wear such clothes or leather in my business world. But maybe in UK Barbour is acceptable and desirable in all situations.
In general, now I'm only interested in the leather. And my gut is drawn to the German models/styles of the times of the first and second world wars, for some unknown reason.
