Barbour wax jacket

Barbour wax jacket in a men's size large (armpit to armpit 24 inches). This is quite an unusual item as was manufactured as a sample with closing hook buckles (very unusual for a Barbour), so there's probably only around five of these in existence in this design and I've never seen anyone wearing one. The top neck buckle is broken (pictured) although it wasn't often I ever buckled to the top anyway, overall it's still in very good condition and the waxing is still good (one or two small wear marks on the waxing, would disappear once re waxed which it's recommended to do every few years on these coats). Great item for autumn, selling as I've upgraded to a longer one). J.
