For anyone wondering about the relative merits between a Carradice Barley and a Nelson, I posted a review and comparison on YACF: https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=22961.msg412292#msg412292
for the record, the Nelson is on my daily commuter and after 6 years looks completely unchanged. My Barley is made of older stock cotton duck and has really faded. I sort of prefer it, but it does need reproofing.
