MOVING PICTURES : A JACKET FOR LIFE.


Attendant to the recent post on my 12+ year old Bedale comes “an intimate portrait of the relationship between Barbour and its customers seen through the Customer Services Dept at South Shields…” This wonderfully shot video directed by Jan Cawood & Magali Pettier for Tin Man Films UK, not only focuses on the plainly functional, enduring (repaired when necessary) quality of the Barbour but more so the deep attachments formed between garment and wearer. That and the strange things people leave in their pockets. All of which I can personally attest to.

    I think it’s time to send mine to Maine and fix up some holes and get a re-waxing.

    This video and your previous post are just solidifying my want for a Barbour. I have heavy duty waxed jacket from Bosmere and a J.Crew field jacket I’ve put through the paces, but a Barbour is sounding pretty sweet now a days.
