What Makes a Jacket Worth Keeping?

The three jackets I wanted to explore are 100+, 90, and 45 years old — and all still relevant with very little changes: the Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser, the Baracuta G9 Harrington, and the Barbour Bedale. None of these were born from fashion, but designed to solve very specific problems: a logger who needed pockets and weather resistance, golfers who needed to move more freely, and a woman who needed a coat that wouldn't hinder her horse riding. When design details solve specific problems, a certain kind of clarity comes through thatoutlasts fashion. Nevertheless, modern interpretations try and improve upon them, such as the Private White V.C. Wax Walker, and the Frahm Harrington Racer. What problems did these jackets try to solve? And lastly, I talk about the Members Only jacket as a counterexample for why jackets like this don't last much longer beyond the time they were introduced. 00:00 Introduction 02:29 Barbour Bedale 07:21 Baracuta G9 Harrington 14:23 Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser 17:37 The Members Only Jacket 19:29 Closing Thoughts Barbour Bedale https://go.shopmy.us/p-60334001 Private White V.C.
