Barbour Clone... Waxed cotton coat by Stafford Prep!
"Stafford Prep" received a lot of positive reviews when it was introduced, with Christian Chensvold at IvyStyle.com noting that it was decently made, well-cut, and ideal for a "frugal trad" or someone on a budget. (A refreshing take, since many of the larger menswear blog tend not to endorse less expensive items.) This coat is a good example of why Stafford Prep deserved this endorsement.
Clearly intended to be a cheaper version of a Barbour, this jacket is fully lined in a striking 100% cotton red tartan lining that beautifully complements the dark navy blue of the wax cotton shell. Cut as a cross between a Border and a Bedale, this jacket has two deep front bellows pockets and twin riding vents; these are secured down by snaps and are gusseted so that the vent does not flap around when the snaps are undone. This has a storm flap that can be snapped shut to cover the lovely fluid zipper for a little bit of extra warmth and a sleeker silhouette. It has a cord collar in complementary navy, and an interior pocket that has waxed cotton reinforcement at the edges to prevent sag.... a nice touch that would have been more impressive had the pocket been deeper, and so of more use! The cuffs can be adjusted with velcro-fastened straps.
This jacket is in Very Good/Excellent condition, and was very well Made in India. Asking just $45, or offer, boxed and shipped in the USA.
