As anyone who regularly follows me will know, not only am I British, but a huge wax jacket lover, I've had more wax over the years than I care to think. Barbour is up there with my favourite brands, and this is foremost amongst my favourite styles, the classic Solway DPM. Whilst never officially issued to the British Army - though I had heard that some unit procured them - these jackets did come about as a result of the Falklands. So popular were the Durhams with soldiers, the Barbour created a camo version in the Solway and another pattern called the Military. This is a great example of the latter, a military style designed with soliders in mind. This example is a two crest, and dated to approx 1982/83.
Condition
Used but excellent. I've given it a light clean and the colours have come out brilliantly. The only issue is a tiny knick on the back less than 5mm long.
