As much as I love the look of a Barbour (especially the International) and owned several I gave up and sold them all due to the bad smell they eventually take up. If you buy them new it’s ok for a couple of years but then they start to progressively take that musty smell that I detest. I bought a new old stock from the 80s on eBay that was looking brand new a ne clearly never worn but you could smell it from the other side of the house.
Clearly they are made to be used outdoor where the smell is less of a concern but for walking around the city I think they are impractical. Similarly as for leather, they are also not warm and make you sweat like a pig if the sun hits you. I don’t know but for me the downsides are too many.
