re: Are Barbour jackets overrated & overpriced?

It keeps me warm when it is cold, repels water in the case of rain, and looks good. I have an Ashby (similar to a Bedale but a bit more tailored) in a dark olive color. I've had mine a while, like more than 5 years - hasn't been re-waxed, but I don't wear it hard (no pheasant hunts on the moor). It fits well into the way that I dress, I can afford it and has an aesthetic that I will be able to pull off as long as I want. So to me, not overrated nor overpriced. I would say I have gotten my money's worth, but I'm used to pruchasing buy it for life items.
