Great video

I'm lucky enough to own one and absolutely love it! I have the sleeveless white gilet with orange lining as its liner, but it's such a warm coat on its own that I barely ever zip it in. The white gilet by itself looks great! Great review, my only critique is that you missed the pocket in the right forearm 😁

Maybe check out the 'Tescom KD778-H' for a Japanese version. Or the French 'Tefal JB7002'.

I bought an expensive coat some months ago made of 100% virgin wool and it is pilling up every 5 seconds. I don't know if that's to do with the quality of the product (in which case I've been scammed) or if its due to my pilling removing method. I use a wool comb.

That would be fine as a winter mid layer if you chucked a deck jacket over the top.

Do you know if a modern Border is different from the one you have? Specifically, the quality, and also the color? Do you know if modern Borders are made in England?

I am looking to make myself a pair of lined wool trousers, so thank you very much for showing the lining and the details! I was also dying to know how far the lining went

Nigel isn't just a fashion inspiration, he's a lifestyle inspiration. I hope to be as fit and happy as he is when I hit my seventies.

Living like Kenny!

Miss his shop in Covent Garden. What happened?

Looks very smart.

They look nice, but what's the fit like on these? A lot of these brands that make to order ( which I think is a good thing in itself ) are using baggy vintage patterns, which I find tend to drown me in swathes of fabric. I've had some success by getting very hands-on when specifying garment measurements (where possible) but it's been a rather hit and miss experience thus far. Any vids or pics of how these fit?

Tell us what turtleneck youre wearing please! Its extremely cool!

Hi Nick, Thanks for the fascinating tour of Nigel Cabourn’s studio. Great video!

Where can I get this amazing coat ? 😊 thanks 🙏🏻

Fantastic video 👌

I came from Derbyshire and fly fished in the summer and shot with a syndicate in the winter. I had a number of Barbour jackets over the years, buying my first in the 70s. I am now down to my last two, a Border and a Northumbria, both from the early 90s. I tried the snap in liner on my earlier jackets and never thought it did much for me, hence the Northumbria. I have looked at new Barbour but they just don't seem the same.

Great video. Nothing like an unboxing to get one’s Sunday night buzzing.😊

Excellent outdoor clothing good video jacket looks well on you 👍

Nick, when you said to me the other day you’d been over at Cabourn in Newcastle I thought you’d been over shopping!!

Great episode ! Love Nigel ,what a great ascetic he has and collection, world class !

What's going on with the sound???

brilliant document . thanks.

Good to see another video. Seems a while since your previous one. Great video, i have a few Cabourn pieces myself.

Great 👍🏻 I think sound on intro lower than it should be.

Love the look - if Shackleton had the size range of the Ftahm for example - it would be a definite buy if made in UK.

RIP the Y cardigan, the waffle trouser, waffle jumper and the grandad shirt.

Who makes the yellow shirt?

I bought an old barbour border, great condition but the smell was absolutely disgusting... i mixed some neat vodka in cold water and wiped down the entire interior so it was damp... then i turned it inside out and hung the barbour outside in the winter months, so it freezing cold, and in the day was sunny. after about 3 full days of hanging outside and the vodka....the smell went away , hardly noticeable. thanks for the info about the vodka, otherwise it would have just been water. if this hadnt worked i was going to put some pure vodka in a bucket and a table spoon of washing up liquid in cold water...and dunk the entire jacket in for half an hour...from there i would have rinsed it out best i can and turned it inside out and hung it on the line....i don't expect the cold water and vodka would have taken off any of the fresh wax....but that would have gotten rid of the smell for sure. another thing barbour, on one of the jackets label tells you to wash by sponging down. i would have used isopropol alcohol if i hadnt found the vodka.

I bought a nice vintage chevalier wool shirt with some syntetic lining and my goosh it smelled like a hunting slaughter cabin, needed to rip out the lining and rewash it 😂

Gorgeous tweed color and design! You since have sold the jacket?

I love the way this man speaks, it is truly ravishing.

thank you so much for this!!! I buy 90% of my clothes thrifted, and I am always making repairs. I have a beautiful wool cable knit coat that has some holes in the back, probably why it was 10$ but if I didnt know about felting I would of sewn wool patches, which probably would of been really irritating. Great advise on taking from coat on comments too!

I have had my Northumbria jacket for over 35 years and it has never let me down, it is very heavy!

This was a great review. Thank you for your time presenting all the key features. How much did you get it for? I’ve looked at their site and it seems they no longer have this A.L.S. which is a shame. Curious to know how much it was as it included another down jacket. Thanks! I’ve also subbed!

Hi want size was that and is it true to Size?

That, is NOT a donkey jacket.

Is grenfell cloth breathable? Also does it use horrible chemicals to produce like the ventile?

Never put a Barbour wax jacket in a washing machine that's like committing suicide as all the wax will wear off and damage the jacket. You can use a sponge with a little water and go through it.

Kenny

Thank you and I am a nuno Artist and a dry felter

Doesn’t look like much of a donkey jacket with those cotton shoulder bits and buttoned cuffs and the odd grey colour. A rough Scottish burr wouldn’t even carry that off.

Great review! how do you think it would perform on a cold/cold winter in a cold city in the nordics?

thanks for sharing your experience, love the cut of inner jacket, different, more stylish from what we see in canadian market

Hope this helps someone who got a vintage Barbour and can't get the smell out: 1. Wet the entire garment. 2. Sprinkle generously with baking soda, both inside and out. Remember to do pockets, areas between the cuffs and outer sleeves (for Bedales), behind the collar, the fold between the zipper and closure buttons. 3. Spray with 50/50 white vinegar & water solution. 4. Rinse thoroughly. 5. Lay flat to dry in an area with ventilation. Hang dry might work as well but the garment may stretch, and I wasn't interested in finding out. 6. Re-wax. I used room temp. water for the entire process. Most of the smell is gone. Only area that still has some slight odour is between the cuffs and sleeves, which I forgot to treat. Please try to air out the garment first before attempting this. If this hadn't worked, I would have tried again with warm water and a 75/25 vinegar solution. After that, it would go into the washing machine (mine can be very gentle, but still would only be the last resort). From other sources I've read, a non detergent-based soap can be thrown in somewhere along the way, and try not to soak the thing in vinegar for too long.

Lovely video on my favourite Barbour! I’ve had my Border for around 35 yrs and while it is well used it still looks great. I’ve used the Barbour repair service to have a few holes patched, the zip replaced and the hems ‘re-hemmed’. Most recently I even had the sleeves lengthened! I hope it and I will last another 35 yrs!

That is a gorgeous jacket ! Timeless.

If your going to take an inch off the bottom why not use the fibres from the piece you remove? No need to gaff around trying to make it match?

Wonderful library. I’m jealous! Couple of observations. You should order 42 Short size not regular. I have to do the same (Im 5’8”) The sleeves are an inch too long and so is the back. Which makes it seem too “big” for you. A short size sport coat will give you an inch reduction in overall length and sleeve length (24 inches instead of 25) and will be out of the box perfect fitted fit. No more need to tailor. And second, it looks nice but I’m sure that per parliamentary law, an authentic Harris Tweed must have the sewn Authenticator patch in lining of the coat. So I would be suspect of that one. Great vid 👍🏼

Vintage smell, I know that all too well after cleaning out the closets of family elders who have passed away.
