📌 Is a Barbour jacket really built to last? After 32 years with my Barbour Beaufort, I can confidently say… yes. This jacket has been with me through college, my first job, countless rainy days, and even an old relationship that didn’t last (but the jacket did!). If you're thinking about investing in a Barbour Beaufort - or any other Barbour jacket, like the Barbour Bedale or Barbour Ashby - this video is for you.
🔹 Why did I choose the Barbour Beaufort?
🔹 How did I wear it daily for years – even without rewaxing?
🔹 What repairs did I make after decades of use?
🔹 Would I buy it again? (Spoiler: I already did.)
