ardor for barbour

the chill in the air and the frost on the ground brought something to my attention...  my wardrobe is lacking a solid fall jacket.  i have a knee length puffer coat, perfect for snowy, sub-zero days, and a beautiful fur ideal for festive evenings.  i'm lacking a jacket for the awkward interim time when the nip in the air permeates a wool sweater but a puffer coat seems overzealous.  

after surveying my options, it sees like barbour might be the perfect choice...

between actual royalty

and fashion royalty

i would be in good company.

here's my favorite style, available at orvis:

antique emily

for a more traditional look, the beaufort jacket

and a less expensive option available at j. crew:

the downtown field jacket

or size down and try the men's woodland jacket
