I tried to get a Commander from the End, and received an error message about Barbour jackets not allowed outside the EU. Since when? Maybe I can get from Kafka?
Great! You'll be happy with them as well. I believe I purchased one of my To Ki Tos from them. One thing to note, if your jacket is shipping via FedEx or DHL, you'll have to pay Customs duties on it. I think my bill was somewhere around $40.
In 6th episode of this season of Supernatural, Dean Winchester is wearing the Barbour Commander Jacket. Dean Winchester has inspired a lot of jacket sales over the years. I wonder if the Lodge Jacket will see some good sales numbers this holiday season.
Kafka have a 20% off code "Extra 20" and have Dept B Commanders in both colourways in stock....
Just in case anyone still hadn't picked one up
Kafka as in Kafka.co.uk? If so I can walk there in about two min and have never been in lol! Guess I'll have to pop round now and see what a medium fits like as, I have the to ki to in Large. I think it fits in the shoulders though a little tight but quite loose around my waist.
Well, over two years ago I started this thread and I am pleased to announce that today I finally bought the Barbour jacket!!!! How's that for closure?????
I was really on top of stuff last year and had the Barbour in hand the August before the film opened. I just had it rewaxed and I'm kind of nervous to wear it in the car - it seems like I'm going to get the wax all over everything! Anyone have any experience with this?

Having sourced an XL Dept. B version of this jacket, I'm now looking to 'To Ki To-ise' it, so I've already got a tailor to run up the front flap, using some 6oz material from an old Barbour that was in poor condition, but I'm now looking for a hood, so if anyone out there has, or knows where there's a Lodge jacket hood going, there's money waiting here for it!

Reply here or PM me please!!
I had the same idea. Finding a Tokito hood is going to be impossible but I know a fairly decent tailor and she might be able to make one from scratch if the blueprints were available.
Try the Lutz. It's much closer and a really nice jacket.
Thanks for the heads up. Being in the US is really a pain when it comes to ordering a Barbour. I found a couple of sites that it have it but won't ship Barbour outside of Europe.

Try Aspecto, as mentioned a few posts up. They ship to the States.

Yes, you get wax over everything
Agree, its one of the reasons why I never purchased one , it would be havoc on the beige Dakota
Thanks! This is actually a real bargain and I'm trying my hardest to resist buying it because I can't justify £299 on a coat but it's very tempting.

There is a quilted version of the commander that is about half the price (£100 here)

I can second that. I have an Ashby and it's very good but cut very tight in the shoulders.
