Well, I must say that eBay is a goldmine for Barbour jackets. A couple of days ago I purchased a heavyweight Barbour (International style) from a guy in Japan. I paid about $100 dollars. These coats are made to last, so getting one lightly used shouldn't be a problem. And now I've found a jones comparable to waiting for a kilt (it should arrive in a couple of weeks). Thanks, Freelander!

Well, I know it's a little late for you, but if anyone else is looking for waxed cotton coats, Sportsman's Guide has this for $100 with an optional lambswool liner for another $50.

Also, a search at Sierra Trading Post came up with a wide variety of coats and hats in a wide price range, some of it pretty reasonable.
