Picked this up a while back and decided to give it a try. Have never owned anything Barbour but I think it was originally waxed. None left on it now though. Very light (motorcycle?)jacket.

[GraemeE]

@Chibs great score

You going to re-wax?

[Chibs]

@GraemeE I think I must, yes. Have never waxed anything before so it’ll be fun.
Now I sort of went down a bit of a Barbour rabbit hole and I’m looking at possibly getting a Beaufort. Love all those pockets!

[NickD]

Not sure that would have been waxed, looks like a summer, unlined version of my International.

The International range would have been motorbike jackets back in the 60s (Steve McQueen wore one on the ISDT) but the complete lack of protection means they aren't used for that now.

Eagles Market came thru today. Picked up this massive Folsom bag for a song.

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic all great finds

Are you going to re-purpose that mail bag into something?

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE not sure yet. Prolly just a tote - it’s pretty rad. The fella had it since college - 40 or so years ago.

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic love stuff with old stencil text

I feel like it was originally waxed but not totally sure. Picked some up on the weekend while checking out some of their jackets. Either way, I'm honestly not sure I can stop this inevitable waxie train I got on.

@Chibs Barbour has a model code in the pocket , if it starts with mwx it was waxed.

I actually didn't buy this one on principle even though I dont have it - i have an issue with goodwill pricing a used modern reissue at record store retail price ($20)

[Matt]

Why didn’t you talk them down? The only thing principles ever did was kick me out of school. I know it’s spelled different, fuck off.

[GraemeE]

@Matt goodwill doesnt negotiate on the west coast

The real loser in the situation is me sitting at home without the Siouxsie album

[Matt]

That’s outrageous.

SHIIIIIIIIT
Amazing come up!!
Bootleg or legit?
Not that it matters, it’s very cool either way, and now you have a new BOC shirt for yourself just in time for the new album release…

I thought the same thing - im stoked to hear the full length after the teaser singles ive heard

My guess is its most likely boot although the tee itself is usa made so who knows

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE fuckin' eh....how many goats did you sacrifice to the Thrift Godz to get your hands on this?!?!?!

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic my current running theory is that my band tee finds at goodwill are a result of people moving to portland to live out their hipster fantasies and then giving up and donating all of their merch on their way out of town back to their home states
