Barbour Beaufort Swap (38 for 36 ?)

[Spartan]

Hi All,

Despite stuffing my grid with cake, pies, guiness and snake-ers over the last few months I still can’t wear this jacket without feeling like I have room for the population of a small central american republic inside. It’s a used Barbour Beaufort, a classic country waxed jacket. The size is a C38/97cm

It has studs for an optional hood, an interactive fit for a liner, two hand warmer pockets and two bellows studded pockets, also a napoleon style pocket just inside the press studs but outside the zip. It also has the double zipped full width poachers stash pocket on the derriere. It has a cordouroy collar. There is a slight nick on the underside of one arm as can be seen on the pics which doesn’t affect the waterproofness and use of the jacket as it is in a non critical area rainwise. All studs and zips are heavy duty and function perfectly and it is as would be expected completely waterproof. I also recently re proofed it with a couple of tins of the barbour wax. Good used condition overall.

Made from 6oz ( medium weight ) thornproof waxed cotton with a barbour tartan lining.

I’m after something similar in small, a barbour if possible but doesn’t have to be a beaufort, which I think would be barbour size 36/??cm, but don’t quote me on that. I can put some cash into the swap if you feel you have extra value in your jacket.

Here’s hoping , Cheers, Sp !

I have a Barbour countryman that might interest you although I'm not sure of exact size. I'll have a look when I get home later.

Hello mate, I've a used Northumbrian. It's a 38 but the sizes for old Barbours are for 'guidance'!! I'll measure it if you're interested as it's a bit tight across the shoulders for me. Cheers

Hi,

That sounds a bit nearer the mark, I'd be interested in the measurements if you have them. For info I just measured my Beafort and the "Scores on the Doors" are

Pit to Pit 22"
Arm Length (Pit to end of Sleeve) 20"
Length ( Base of collar to Hem ) 31.5"

I reckon something with about a 20 to 21" Pit to Pit would suit me probably

Hi Again,

No further word on the above so still up for trades, could also be interested in a pile shirt, as the one I use at the mo is so old and rough it's like strapping doormats to your upper body and arms,


Cheers , Sp

Hi Again All,

This is still sat in the wardrobe, so I'm still if possible after a trade for either a small Barbour or a small pile or belay type insulated jacket, but would prefer a Barbour , as above Pit to Pit to fit my frame would need to be about 20 to 21"

Cheers, Sp
