Who wears a Barbour jacket?

Got one as a wedding present in 1988.....still going strong which is more than I can say for the marriage (!) could do with a new lining and a few patches on the pocket edges but still feels great despite the smell of old collie. That might have something to do with the old collie using it as a bed when camping though. Happy to wear shooting and general bad weather outdoor use, even worn to school governor meetings! Also got some barbour despatch rider overtrousers (army surplus) which are great when using the brushcutter.
I got a moorland jacket for god knows what just ordered a black bedale for work for this winter always wanted one of the waist coat ones, its like a barbour without sleeves, they look pretty good when all beaten up over an old shirt/smock.
I have had a Northumbria jacket for about five years,its been used and abused and only had to reproof it last month. Would not be without it, only fault i can think of with it is i wish the hood was a little more generous fitting,but saying that i wear a wax hat most of the time.
