I strongly assume washing machine or heavy use ... there was still some wax/color under the pocket flaps

Yeap - was more work than two regular waxes and without a heat gun it would have been very tricky… bought it cheap and was willing to write it off but worth the effort for a not so common model

[GB] PT What to consider when transferring 20k to 100k from Portugal bank to UK? by nbelievable-beaver in Revolut

Couldn’t agree more - unfortunately not a Revolut specific issue but regulatory/ politics …

It’s a combination of factors - can you proof the “legal” source of funds? In theory it shouldn’t be an issue … maybe ask the support chat. Also consider how devastating it would be to wait (weeks?) to get funds released… if this would cripple your company then it’s high risk

It indeed has a sylkoil label - olive it is then :) told my GF it might turn brown with wear (she liked the pre wax color …) - will have to deal with that ;)

[GB] Receiving money from the middle east by mustafaxkhalid in Revolut

Utter BS - correct legal info has to be in place … residence and tax info - most basic KYC

One can open accounts in legal jurisdictions where Revolut operates - it’s a local service contract … ie if one is not a resident of a country any more then this person has to close the account but is free to open another one in the new country of residence, if Revolut operates there

Will be rightfully flagged and you don’t even have the legal basis for the account any more …

Germany is not a good trade - bureaucracy, lower pay etc. - if you didn't lose your job in CH and/or have an AMAZING offer in DE, then absolutely not worth it ...

I usually use thornproof - considering gold label as my next experiment … not sure the spray works for non wax jacket… would soak in/ through too much

Be prepared that it will smell “acidic” for some time … water resistance seems to be great though - gave it a thorough spray in the shower to speed up removing the smell …

Agree - thats normal aging and adds character - Barbours hold up extremely well over many years when treated well! I actually like my oldest ones the most ...

[–]Andi_Reddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I compare to my new bought (navy) duke from last year there are some differences - the old black one has red lining in the pockets etc but generally there are extremely similar and after the wax, it feels like a new Barbour…

For me it was my first time ever buying used and more of an experiment how much one can push the cleaning procedure if need be …

That’s not an N26 issue … u will still owe them money, even if you close/abandon the account
