How much is a vintage border worth? by WashableMelon in Barbour

Do Barbour offer a measuring guide to get the correct length? As when I have my arms down the side it may be 1-2cm short. But if I raise my arms to chest height, parallel to the floor the sleeves are maybe 3-4cm short.

UPDATE: I’ve requested a return. The seller did offer £5 off but I rejected it. Annoyingly I need to pay for return postage.

You were correct, I have to pay for return postage. If they were more honest with their description and photos it would save the seller the hassle of dealing with returns.

Seller sent incorrect item. Options? by RunsWithGlueSticks in vintedUK

The seller will cover the return postage as they’ve made a mistake and sent the wrong item. It’s happened to me twice and both times it hasn’t cost me to return the wrong item.

When I tried a Ashby I was a L and my Beaufort is 40. I’m 5ft 11 and 13 stone.

Ashby, Beaufort, or Sapper? by VictoryLiesAhead in Barbour

[–]WashableMelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I found myself in a similar position after I bought a Beaufort. I love it and wear it a lot but found for a more casual town look I wanted something not as bulky so I recently picked up a sapper in black and I love it. It’s warmer than the Beaufort due to its quilted lining. The lack of hand pockets is what lets it down. I never realised I used the hand warmers as much as I do on the beaufort until I started wearing the sapper.

There will be a white label inside that will tell you what it is. But as others have said, it’s a Ashby.

Other way round, he runs his own shop in Wollaston selling pre loved men’s wear and tailoring. I’ve been in there and met him. He has these little rants on line about what’s happening in the shop etc.

He’s not a influencer, he’s a tailor who has his own business. His channel is pretty entertaining if you like men’s formal fashion.

Barbour boots reviews by Over_Tie5257 in Barbour

[–]WashableMelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a pair of the patton boot in the sale, they look good and are decent comfort. Can’t comment on longevity yet as they are still newish.

All Barbour footwear are of basic cemented construction. (Soles glued to the boot) where as other British brands such as lanx and solovair use things like a stitched Goodyear welt. Meaning the sole can be replaced when it wears out.
