re: Barbour: Land Rover Collection Fall Wax Jacket; Would like some OT Opinions

Does it go well with a Filson umbrella?

I grew up with Rovers - the old series trucks, the Defenders, the Range Rover Classic. I love them to hell and back, but the production quality just isn't there.

And it only got worse in the late 90s and the early 2000s. You had the Freelander debacle, and then the Discovery engines started to die.

But that's also when things changed, starting with the 2005 LR3 and the 2006 Range Rover. Land Rover started making vehicles that worked, and worked well.

I despise what Tata has done to the styling on their recent releases, but I can't quibble with the build quality. Rover finally has the money to do things right.

$400 on a winter jacket is a difficult pill to swallow in the area I live. No enough cold days.

Hell, I wouldn't spend anywhere near that and we get a decent winter.

I kind of agree. And if you're going to get a Barbour get like the Ashby or something besides those fugly ones.

I have an Ashby.

Bitches love it.

It takes a long time to overcome those perceptions, especially with a premium brand.

Guaranteed to not make it through the first cold snap.

For waxed Barbours stick with the classics: the Beaufort or Bedale

I have a Bedale style (can't remember the name) breathable gortex Barbour that is on of my favorite coats for Fall.

For winter I love my Chrysalis Chiltern: Chiltern
