Although I have looked at the Barbour jackets for years, starting with a motorcycle jacket years ago, I have never owned one of that brand. I had an old Filson when I was young but that is the only Big Name brand I have had. In the past few years I have found the products of the Outback brand to be quite functional and certainly more reasonably priced than the Barbours. I just received this week a waxed cotton Deer Hunter Coat by Outback from the Sportsman's Guide for just under $150. It is lined and has pockets of the right size in the right places and certainly seems to be of decent quality. Whether or not it will last for 45 years is questionable, but for the price I am willing to try my hand at re-waxing this one!!
