Barbours and Bean Boots are staples in my family :) I'm in Maryland, so I'm prepping for the storm too...stay safe!

SG,

Are you prepared for this weekend's inclement precipitation in DC? Surely you will be needing these items again. I'll be reaching for the 12" Bean Boots and a puffy down vest.

Cheers,
BTG

Nice. I have most of that stuff myself, even the Bean hunting tote! Looks like a Brigg umbrella, too - am I right? Like the plaid. Never got the hood for my old-model Beaufort, though. Got the snap-in pile lining before they stopped making them, fortunately.

ADG: I think most of the kit went to the UK with me a few years ago.

TWA: I'm good with 6 more weeks. Much more and I'll get some cabin fever.

MLS: Your Saints enthusiasm is noted and much appreciated. WHO DAT!

PCW: Well said.

You know something is truly classic when both the mens and womens versions are equally as successful. Ie the bean boots, tote and bedale.

Top flight gear....I would pass on the bumbershoot and tote bag...but the coat,hat and boots are classics...and things one would find in my closet....except the hat in my closet is some unkown brand I found at bargain joint...but it has wool and gortex and does the job exceptionally well. By the way...as barbour will re-do waxing etc...so Bean will fix leather uppers on the boots when needed. Go Saints!!

I am sold. It's been pretty cold in DC and it's made a world of difference between this being a 2 season (spring and fall) and a winter coat that keeps you warm.

Are you totally sold on the liner? I've heard mixed things. Would like to know your thoughts before I get one.

Love this kit. Makes me kinda sad they are only anticipating 6 more weeks of winter...

Looks like what one would pack for England.

BJP: I can't wait till a warm August day comes around to re-wax this Barbour. The sheen and smell is incredible.

AEV: PSA - more to come...

With time the Beaufort will have that nice fade, and the cuffs will eventually fray... and Barbour will re-proof it and cuff it with leather. That's when it is at its best. Great post D.
