Any reputable tailor will tell you to fuck off as a Barbour is for life, not just for attempting to look 'cuntry'. Nothing annoys me more than Essex wide boys and perm tan slags wearing quilted Barbours mixed with a Carphone Warehouse ensemble and a fucked up Johhny Bravo haircut. If you're not man enough to wear a WAXED Barbour (preferably at least a second generation hand-me-down) and embrace the musty stench, then quite frankly you should consider other options; like a skirt, or some of those fucked up One Direction chinos with crap catcher elastic bottoms. What the fuck are they all about??
As mentioned previously in this thread, by the time you take it to pieces only to cut it up and sew it together again the cost would be relatively astronomical compared to just having a bespoke one made to begin with. Go bespoke. You'll love the experience of walking into a tailor and saying "Listen motherfucker, make me THIS for THIS much cash, capiche?"
Just don't wear it near me and my Barbour wearing cuntry friends, we can spot your sort a mile off.
