re: Are Barbour jackets overrated & overpriced?

Let me get this straight, you paid over $500 for a jacket then had to spend over $200 for repairs just to make it 10 years and you think that’s good?

Guaranteed a $50 jacket from Walmart can last 10 years without any repairs

The "repairs" are mostly rewaxing, that you are capable of doing yourself. That only maintains the waterproofing. The jacket itself still serves its purpose without the maintenance, just not as well.
