Sorry but nay. Dont like it at all.

Not a big fan of it myself, I'm funny with texture and it looks like it would feel irritating but it does look like it would keep you warm

HOly mother of god, is that for real? I'm surpised at River Island I must say :eek: Big nay here, if the super hottie model can't even work it then....

anniehoo

Oh absolutely no way :eek: It looks like something from Glenroe in the 80s (sorry)!

Are you going off hunting?! If not STAY AWAY! It's not nice at all!

If you want people to point and laugh then yes.

There's something weird going on with the fit of it, it looks way too wide in the picture of the back. I don't know, I think on the right person it could be nice, but don't bother unless you're certain you can pull it off.

Whoever styled it with those matching pants needs a slap.

God no, it's brutal....even Colin Farrell couldn't get away with wearing that!

akamossy

It is pretty awful looking

BabyBirch

I like it V:oV

Twee.

Not a fan of it! Barbour style jackets are very in at the moment, but I'd prefer the more traditional look on a lad than the modern jersey version.

I don't like it either tbh, and I'm really into that kinda quilted effect.

Pandoras Twist

Not a fan of the Barbour jackets to begin with. I don't think landed gentry is a look anyone should aim for. But that jacket is a particularly bad attempt at one.

Don't do it!

Hayzooz

Buy it, please.

Could do with a laugh.

I didn't look at the picture before reading all the comments and was preparing myself for something absolutely horrific but jaysus this jackets grand. Its just paired terribly with those pants.

The picture and pairing don't do it any justice, it looks huge on the model too. I saw it in River Island and i think it looks alright but there is no shape to it at all.

Its a copy of a Lavenham jacket

I prefer the Lavenham hands down but its expensive. Anyway, the wool finish is better looking than the now generic nylon barbour styles IMO.

Sorry but Im not keen on it either. Im funny with what blokes wear - dont like anything too try-hard!

You'll be able to pick it up at 3pm on the 27th of December.......there will be loads of them in the sale.

veruca salt

Nay to that particular jacket but yay to the style, and yay to the model too. Not bad.

Redpunto

Sorry no, dont like the expensive one either

definite nay!

(as opposed to a yea)

Asos shouldn't have paired it with matching trousers. It looks like a tracksuit of sorts. It would look ok with dark trousers but there are better Barbour imitations if that's the look you are going for.
