All of my rich tweedy shooting buddies had Barbour jackets. I couldn't see spending that kind of money. I worked for a Barbour retailer for a while. We took in Barbour products for retreating and repair. A customer gave us a jacket to send back for repair. Months went by, and you know the drill, they lost it. They sent him a brand new jacket and an apology. A while later, they found the customer's jacket and mailed it to us. I appropriated the beautiful repaired jacket, and a couple of decades later, I'm still wearing it. No fuss, no muss.
