What other company could lay claim to outfitting Steve McQueen and Queen Elizabeth?  I personally love the quilted versions and own the Ladies <a href="http://www.barbour.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=products.view&ProductID=20064&RangeID=2&PCategoryID=1&PSubCategoryID=23"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Flyweight Utility Jacket</span></a> in dark stone.  The oil cloth coats tend to look a little boxy and unflattering on women unless you buy a belted option or add your own like Olivia Palermo. It really is the boys who look best in Barbour.  They are all over the Upper East Side this time of year and are my kryptonite but even the downtown boys look pretty cool in them too.  If you own one and live in New York, you might want to pull out because I hear it's going to rain the next few days.  Happy <em>almost</em> Spring!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
