Today I’m sharing three ways to style a classic Barbour wax jacket. Three simple outfit ideas for everyday wear.
Why a Barbour Wax Jacket is My New Autumn/Winter Essential
Recently, I added a classic Barbour wax jacket to my autumn and winter wardrobe, and I have to say, it’s quickly become one of the most versatile and worn pieces in my collection. When I’m out in the countryside or just walking the village streets, this jacket has proven to be both practical and stylish, seamlessly fitting into a variety of outfits.
Choosing the Right Barbour Wax Jacket
On a recent trip to my local Barbour store, I was really impressed by the wide selection of wax jackets available in different colours and styles. After much deliberation between classic black and a muted purple, I finally opted for the purple shade. I already own a fair amount of black outerwear, so I thought adding a pop of a muted colour would be a refreshing change. The jacket’s classic check lining was a charming detail, but I was also pleasantly surprised to see a few Barbour jackets with floral-print linings a delightful touch.
The Timeless Appeal of a Barbour Wax Jacket
Investing in a Barbour wax jacket means investing in something that should last a lifetime. These jackets are made to endure, offering both durability and a timeless design. One of the things I love most is that, with proper care, they only improve with age. Over time, the jacket may need re-waxing, and there are a couple of options for keeping it in good condition, you can either tackle the re-waxing yourself with a home kit, or send it back to Barbour’s workshop in South Shields, UK, where experts will restore it to its former glory.
For me, this jacket is fast becoming a wardrobe staple it’s a piece that will continue to evolve, adding character and charm the longer I wear it. Whether you’re considering your first Barbour or looking to add another one to your collection, I can highly recommend this timeless investment. It’s the perfect blend of function and style, ideal for the colder months ahead.
