If my home ever caught fire and left me with time to grab only ten items in my closet before fleeing, I’m pretty certain my Barbour Beadnell jacket would make the cut. It’s not the coolest article of clothing I own, but it’s definitely the one that makes me feel coolest when I wear it—in that whole British, town and country, glamorous-without-trying kind of way. Plus, it’s excellently water-resistant and warm and un-bulky, which is nice for those of us who live where the weather can be crap all winter. Now, J. Crew is selling Barbour’s fabulous Liberty print-lined Beadnell —which hasn’t always been the easiest thing to track down. I can’t possibly justify the purchase, seeing as how I already own one. But possibly you can. In which case, I am jealous, jealous, jealous.
It looks fantastic! Onto the wish list.
Once again, you must be reading my mind (or my browser history)–I was looking at this very jacket today on a site where it was sold out.
Liberty print anything pretty much does me in.
Have been DROOLING over this. Damn them. Maybe you could have yours partially lined in Liberty fabric? Though I suppose the original is more versatile…
Since I saw this post this morning I have had the J Crew page open on my browser. I cannot justify it, but I love love *love* it.
Well, I’m happy for y’all, but this must be an East Coast thing. I don’t get it. It just looks like a jacket to me.
I don’t know, it’s looking pretty good from California, where I have approximately as many cute coats as I have appropriate days to wear them. Maybe I can justify it because it’s waterproof? Waterproof is practical, right?
