Vintage Barbour waxed cotton jacket - size 34





I purchased this vintage Barbour jacket from an online seller in the autumn of 2009. It features all the good things you'd expect from a vintage Barbour jacket - handsome patina, gorgeous brass hardware, etc. But while I received many compliments on it, I never felt comfortable in it... It's just too big for me. I wore it maybe a dozen times last year, but it has remained in my closet since then.

Chest: 21"
Collar to hem: 33"
Underarm to Cuff: 19"
Paid: $120
Asking: $120 incl. shipping to North America

  1. hi, i'm unclear on the sizing-
    what size do you usually wear in clothing/how tall are you? is there a way you could take a picture of it on? thanks!

  2. I'm just under 5'5 and usually wear a size two (33-26-36). I can take a picture in the jacket later today/tomorrow. In my opinion, the jacket would look great on somebody 5'6 or taller. It's obviously a unisex piece, and would work well on a slender man too.

    As to the sizing, it is pretty confusing. Why Barbour would label a jacket that measures 21" across a size 34, I have no idea!

  7. Ever since my Driza-Bone jacket wore out, and the second coat of wax I put on it after it wore out wore out, I've been eying Barbour gear. Being a size 34 in jackets, I have a feeling this would be a good fit for me. It's even in the color I'd have picked. I'd do $120, coincidentally, no low-ball. Let me know! pressurewave@gmail.com
