I think they only sell direct. Waxed cotton is for the form over function crowd and guys that own stupid expensive over & under shotguns.

Other than second hand or ebay you will have to buy directly from TAD. I wish they would open a factory store in Old Fort, NC where much of their clothing and gear is made.
Their sizing is just all over the place and ordering from them without being able to try on first has steered me away from them. |

Way back in the day there was a Gear of the TAD thread. Their shorts have gone from $75 to $175, thanks Joe Biben.

Whoa that's a blast from the past. I remember when they were all the rage on ARF.

Not necessarily, but I do think many are more concerned about looks more than function, I wear my Barbour coat most days during the winter here; not really cold, but often wet and cool and waxed cotton (specifically Ventile) has some pretty well-established properties for harsh environments.

Maybe long term durability at the expense of being heavy? It’s old tech it still works but is surpassed in almost every performance metric. |

Quoted: Does waxed cotton do anything better than modern technical fabrics? Maybe long term durability at the expense of being heavy? It’s old tech it still works but is surpassed in almost every performance metric. View Quote Style and a little more robust. When waxed, it’s water and windproof, but they’re likely heavier than similar designed synthetics. The irony is that waxed cotton is robust enough for bushwacking through briars or cooking over an open fire, but I sure as hell won’t be testing that on my $400+barbour jacket in that environment. I do know that cotton is a good working garment, in that they can take a lot more abuse than most synthetics. They’re often a little more robust to resisting tears, punctures, or dealing with embers. I see waxed cotton like heavier wool garments. They’re great for a day in the outdoors (day hike, hunting, etc.), but not something I want to backpack or camp with. There’s no denying they’re more about style than function as their function isn’t really used for much beyond a little urban jungle, suburban safari, white collar work wear. My son has a Filson Tin-cloth jacket that he’s used extremely hard and it still looks quite nice. ROCK6 |

View Quote Typically you'd do that sort of thing in your 3rd generation hand me down Barbour... of course should you do it in your new one and damage it you can always send it back to be fixed. One thing Barbour has always done right is customer service. |

I have a ranger lt jacket and a just ordered a couple merino wool shirts. the jacket is really nice and better than less expensive fleece I have. Military discount is decent. Still expensive though.
Fwiw, the shipping is kinda slow, and still no update on a return they received 13days ago. |

View Quote I have the old school Stealth soft shell from 10 years ago and it’s awesome. Worth every penny. I have a cheap fleece (Rothco), but I want a Ranger. Just struggle spending the $$. Might get a Beyond if the 50% thing I read is real. Also interested in a Duckworth Merino Cloud jacket |

Get a Barbour or Filson with the dry finish
You get the classic look without the smell and rewarding. |

I’ve got the shagmaster hoodie which is nice for hanging out at the house or a non windy cold night. Also got the shagmaster blanket and that thing is warm. The rouge rs jacket looks good but it’s more form over function.
Like someone else said their sizes are all over the place so be prepared to return stuff. |
|
I have one of the old Ranger hoodies, heavier than the current LT one. Must be 12 years old, maybe 15. Thing is awesome.
Back then XL was what you’d expect for XL. Now it’s hard to tell what XL will for like. |

You won't do it in TX, but I can layer it under my Stealth, and you're good to zero or so. I wear the Ranger very often from my house to my shop. Great middleweight fleece. If I'm packing a bag to take with me while be dropped anywhere on Earth, it will have a soft shell Stealth in it. |

View Quote Perhaps, but then again, waxed canvas just plain works, and it will outlast most modern designs/materials. Trade off is increased cost, less flexibility, and they need periodic upkeep to stay weatherproof. |

I have a couple of their jackets and a Litespeed pack. They've held up very well so far.

After Patrick Ma left they have turned to crap. Check out offerings from outdoor research and beyond clothing.

I bought a Barbour Beaufort a few years ago - it's a tank and will last a lifetime. Buy once, cry once.

I own that exact jacket.
It's my go-to jacket when it's wet and cool outside. It's been great. |

i have their LT Ranger. i wish i had bought it a size bigger.
sizing sucks has anyone any feedback on the boots they offer? |
