END: Barbour Beacon Waxed Cotton Sports Jacket – $252 ($745)
Currently an extra 20% off at checkout. Waxed cotton. Elbow and shoulder patches. Lined in Barbour tartan. All the “sporting” trimmings you’d expect from a heritage sportswear maker. This is the Beacon that’s a little closer (identical?) to what Daniel Craig wore in Skyfall (while this one is newer and has had a few style updates.) There’s also, at post time, all sizes.
But there’s a catch.
The thing is, you’re on the hook for returns. To the U.K.
No pre-paid label. Nope. Old School. You have 14 days (from delivery? from it being shipped? I can’t tell…) to get the thing prepped and sent on its way, back across the pond. Could involve a super fun, during-the-holidays, trip to the post office. And shipping costs? Who knows!
So yeah. It’s a risk.
Enormous thanks to Jason P. for sending in the style tip here.
That’s all. Carry on.
