Just in time, this affordable alternative to Barbour's iconic casual jacket is the high-street buy you need to kick start your autumn

H&M lookalike for the Barbour Abbey Casual Jacket.

Is there an autumn jacket as iconic as a Barbour one? The British clothing brand is synonymous with heritage chic, once the reserve of sailors and fishermen, today it is just as likely to be sported on everyone from the Royals and the style elite, to those simply after practical well well-crafted outdoor wear.

Receiving its royal warrant in the 1980s, the functional leisure and work wear brand we know today delivers modern designs, backed by its history and love for traditional, ergonomic and well-made clothing. The iconic 1930s wax jacket, in particular, remains a core piece in the brand's arsenal. Thanks to the craftsmanship and high-quality fabrics that go into each design. The best Barbour jackets can be pricey, with the instantly recognisable Acorn waxed jacket and stylish gingham Audrey showerproof jacket both retailing for £219.
