keepitcovert 842 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Still got my old solway zipper bought in 1985 and still going strong, the modern barbours are more of a fashion item, than the old barbours which were made for work. 1 Quote Link to post
Gtbaker369 44 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I agree with covert that a lot of the jackets that you can get are more towards the toffs to wear on the street or with suits etc but after having a good look at the old classics I still think they will do the job and last a long time Quote Link to post
