It's always best to do as you're told.

I thought this maybe a good place to ask, how many Barbour jackets might it be acceptable to own please?

I have had a verbal battle with the wife on a number of occasions that one of our wardrobes, with pretty much solely Barbours was a little excessive!!

I can't bear to part with all my old coats, some of them really well worn, and some repaired too, and others slightly more gently worn!

All of mine are pretty old generally now, and I think all bar two are made here in good old Blighty!

All the best
So tell us, how many do you actually have? I have two but as with so many things more would be nice. :Hat:

Hmmm, would I look extremely bad if I said around 25 give or take a couple??!! :oops:

In my defence, they are almost all different models and colours!

I'm not sure anyone else would dare ever buy any of these due to the general appearance of them, and what they could come across if they put their hands in the pockets!

Some are quite crusty, especially my old belted Solway Zipper, with one royal warrant on the old style label.

25 jackets,that is over a hundred pockets,how the hell do you find anything.
I have a similar problem with the bags,Barbour shop in town,wait for sales,bags marked down,im up to seven,(edit five haha I counted them again to be sure) at last count.
The waxproofs make great fishing bags,is my excuse/reason/madness..

Good choice. When they have a sale, they usually discount pretty well I've found. I have two shops close by, and they always tempt me!

I do only have only one Barbour bag, a tweed tarras from 11 or so years ago. Fantastic bags.

I have always been tempted by a Brady Severn, but never taken the plunge as yet!!
