Please help me find a vintage Barbour waxed jacket

Submitted by Autopropulse t3_127uzzc in boston

Please share any recommendations you have for stores where I might find a vintage Barbour jacket in Boston. I am visiting for a week and staying in the Sommerville area -- but I'm willing to travel for a good tip.

I'm looking for a Border or Northumbria ideally -- but I'm open to whatever I can find that fits me.

Related but secondary I'd be willing to buy new if I cannot find vintage. I've looked up Barbour retailers in the Boston area but it's a little hard to tell what sort of selection any given store has. If you know of a store that has a good selection of new Barbour waxed jackets and can share that information I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you. I think it is somewhat unlikely I will end up there incidentally on this trip, but it may prove relevant.

pretty specific item to luck into at a vintage store, online is probably your best bet

sowa market would be worth a look, and bobby from boston

Bobby from Boston for vintage or Hilton's Tent City for new.

vivant vintage in allston would be my best bet for finding a vintage barbour.

if not, you can always try garment district, boomerangs, goodwill (davis square not central) and buffalo exchange, there is a chance any of those may have some there, all located in cambridge.

I bought mine from https://www.saddler.co.uk.

They sell it for UK prices so it ends up being significantly cheaper than buying in the US
