So just what can you harbour in a Barbour?

For all of the Barbour-wearers out there, a delightful article from 2000 about Barbour jackets and the treasures they conceal:

Yes, I enjoyed the bugle in the jacket...?!

I dread to think what is lurking in my Barbour pockets!

I cleaned it out real well before sending it back this summer for a re-wax. However I did find Pheasant and Grouse feathers in the game pouch.

Precisely how such things come about, Jock.

I'm on my third Barbour waxed rain jacket. The other two were stolen. I'm very pleased with it and took it to Scotland both times. I wear it and a matching touring cap quite often in the Houston rain, too.

Good lord J.D.,your coat looks brand new! You need to drag it behind a lorry for 500 miles,calve a couple of thousand cows,put it through a combine harvester a couple of times,shoot and fish in it for a decade or two,even before it looks half worn in!

I would, but it doesn't rain nearly every day in Houston like it does in the Western Highlands. This jacket is fairly new, but, like I said, it's my third one! BTW, I cut down on all that labor by calving the cows using the combine harvester.
