BARBOUR Prestbury Wax Jacket - Mens - Olive
The Barbour Prestbury Wax Jacket in Olive combines the weather-resistant protection of a traditional wax jacket with the additional warmth of a box-quilted lining. Its shorter, tailored silhouette is based on Barbour’s popular Powell jacket, providing a smart country look that works equally well for outdoor weekends and everyday wear.
The medium-weight 6oz Sylkoil waxed-cotton outer has Barbour’s characteristic matte, lived-in finish while helping protect against showers and wind. Inside, a warm two-inch box-quilted lining provides useful insulation during the colder months without making the jacket unnecessarily bulky.
A soft corduroy-lined funnel collar offers additional comfort and protection around the neck. The front zip is covered by a stud-fastening storm fly, while two angled outer pockets feature secure stud-close flaps. An internal zipped security pocket provides a safer place for valuables.
Finished with a branded zip pull and subtle tonal Barbour embroidery, the Olive Prestbury is a practical, refined wax jacket for country walks, dog walking, commuting and colder-weather everyday wear.

Performance
6oz Sylkoil Waxed-Cotton Protection
The medium-weight 6oz Sylkoil outer helps resist showers and wind while retaining the soft, characterful appearance associated with traditional Barbour wax jackets. Regular re-waxing will help preserve its finish and weather resistance.
Warm Box-Quilted Lining
Unlike many traditional uninsulated wax jackets, the Prestbury features a box-quilted lining for additional warmth. This makes it particularly useful during autumn, winter and cooler spring conditions.
Shorter Tailored Silhouette
The Prestbury has a shorter, more defined shape inspired by Barbour’s popular Powell quilted jacket. The tailored silhouette provides a smart appearance while remaining practical for walking, driving and everyday outdoor use.
Protective Funnel Collar
A soft corduroy lining makes the funnel collar comfortable against the neck. When fastened, its raised design provides additional protection during cold or windy weather.
Secure Everyday Storage
Two angled front pockets have stud-fastening flaps to help keep everyday essentials secure. A separate internal zipped pocket provides additional protection for smaller valuables such as keys, cards or a mobile phone.
