In a viral tweet on X, seen more than two million times, one person wrote: 'The Barbour jacket is fast becoming a new overt symbol for the right', with another adding: 'Barbour Jackets are clearly the new uniform for a new reign of terror.'

I think this is hilarious, I have owned a series of Barbour jackets and coats over the past 40 years, my husband has numerous jackets from the brand as do both my sons, my daughter not any more…….perhaps she is leaning to the left!
I have always viewed them as good value practical and classic clothing, we have had ours reconditioned so sustainable too!

So if the Barbour jacket is a sartorial symbol of the right then what will the left be sporting this winter?
