Wilfred Owen/ Jereny Paxman jacket

[John Lever]

Did anyone see this documentary on BBC last week ? The presenter Jeremy Paxman wore a WW1 style hip length jacket with patch pockets and a belt.
It looked like oiled HH and was superb.
Can anyone tell me who made it ?

Like the sound of that jacket, and I love Paxo. Let's get in touch with him.

Try Barbours new range, there's a shop where I live in yorkshire and I'm sure that's the one.

Why is that WW1 style, please? Surely its a modern outdoor jacket?

 

[John Lever]

This was hip length, double breasted with two waist patch pockets and a belt. It was in dark brown oiled leather. It had a very retro look.

I think it is one of the new Barbour range. I've been coveting it every day as I walk past the shop!

Here's the Barbour 2008 Autumn/Winter leather collection & none are double breasted:

They do a leather "International".
Not DB...

Strange,
the one in the window is remarkably similar to the Timberland one. I shall resolve this and pop in this morning.

(Any excuse...)

 

[John Lever]

Not remotely close to the one he wears, which is much nicer.

Did anyone find out any more about this?

No, it's a shame because it was by far the nicest hip length coat I have seen.
