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. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. 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 |

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. |

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. |
