Classic Beaufort Wax Jacket
The classic Beaufort is a stylish, practical men s waxed jacket with timeless country looks and a Sylkoil outer. Quintessentially Barbour, this versatile jacket is tough enough to brave the great outdoors yet equally suited to city wear - it offers a relaxed fit perfect for throwing over a suit when commuting to work. Ideal for year-round use, it boasts a 100% cotton lining in Barbour's iconic tartan print, with an interactive zip designed for pairing with an optional quilted liner when extra insulation is needed. The classic Beaufort's smart corduroy collar feels luxuriously soft and is studded to take an optional hood, while the two-way zip, studded storm fly front and Velcro-fastening wind cuffs seal out draughts. Two lower bellow pockets offer plenty of room for essentials, and moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets provide welcome warmth on cold days. A useful rear game pocket completes the impressive line-up of functional features. Wipe clean only. Outer 100% Cotton. Inner 100% Cotton.

Is Barbour wax jacket really for life / worth the money?
Ashby, Bedale, beaufort, all the well known and long-term classics are made there and always repaired. I've had mine 10+ years now, sent off twice, repaired for reasonable price and still kicking!

what winter coat are yall using?
Weatherwool chore coat or their anorak. Sometimes my Barbour waxed jacket too if it’s damp and windy with wool layer underneath. I don’t wear petroleum based clothing anymore.

What are your favorite niche BIFL items that are currently available?
Granted I haven’t bought a new one in basically a billion years now but if you were to get one get the Barbour Beaufort. That’s the original Barbour and the one that should still be made the same.

HNY with my BIFL boots; C&J Northcote! 👞🎉
...thank you (made my day) 🥹🥰 I'm a bit of a fan of certain AllSaints and Barbour jackets and overcoats, especially not-the usual-suspects types, but my AllSaints overcoat is really lovely to wear, and works casually and formerly too! My handmade *[Barbour Gold Standard Cainwel Olive Wool Jacket](https://www.endclothing.com/gb/barbour-cainwel-wool-jacket-mwo0266ol51.html)* is very rare and not often seen (especially when thinking about Barbour jackets), having a shorter aspect and strong army-casual design. It's amazing, though now I wish I picked up the blue variant too (😭). I don't have much in the way of pics, but *[here's a partial pic](https://imgur.com/a/u9hqhf7)* when I was out with my best friend 🥂😊 Finally, my *[AllSaints Survey Double Layered Leather Blazer](https://www.allsaints.com/men/leathers/leather-jackets/survey-double-layered-leather-blazer/M061LB-5.html)* is a badass, stylish, and hardy jacket, and [famously worn or seen](https://www.ajb007.co.uk/discussion/54638/matrix-resurrections-jackets) within many Holywood and Pinewood productions and actors (an ifkyk multi-functional piece of attire)! (I geek out and research almost anything I'm interested in, including clothes, especially in pursuit of longevity and personal enjoyment! 🤓).

[BIFL REQUEST] Looking for a jacket, waterproof shell + liner (or an insulated jacket) from one company
Just to expand on this a bit: I have no fashion sense and I'm not wild about the entire concept. For a long time I thought Barbour was about being fashionable and hip so I had no interest in it. I came across an old Beaufort at Goodwill for $7 and I bought it thinking I'd resell it on ebay. I wore it a few times to try it out and it quickly became my favorite jacket for the temperatures OP is talking about. My coat was manufactured in the 80s and, though it shows it's age, it still works perfectly and is very comfortable. I'll still use a technical hardshell if I'm hiking or backpacking since the Barbour is much heavier, but for just walking around town I go with the Barbour every time.
