re: Are Barbour jackets overrated & overpriced?

Bought a Barbour a couple of years back and returned it because the shoulder area was lacking and built for a tiny little British man with narrow shoulders, I assume.

Schaefer and Filson fit me well but be advised Filson sizing can be hit or miss. I bought a tin cloth Filson jacket a few weeks back and had to size down to a medium from a large while one of their other jackets would require me sizing up to an XL. Good quality that will last a lifetime.
