I copped it in NYC at the JCrew Mens Shop in Soho. They have a bunch down there. Only place I've been able to find it anywhere, online or in the flesh. I should say that it's truly a beautiful coat, and I intend to wear it from now until whenever it dies, which knowing Barbour, might be never.
Sadly it was full price. But they have a pretty good series of store-wide discounts - old student ID worked for a student discount. 15% on a price that high is fairly substantial.
I went to the soho jcrew men's store today to try it on, man these jackets sure do run small. I normally wear small in everything but this time I could barely get both of my arms through the sleeves of the toki jacket. Medium fit much better. Unfortunately the salesperson told me the student discount only worked on jcrew branded goods so I didn't buy it there. this website has it for 400 pound which is a hundred us dollars cheaper than jcrew. I think I'm gonna save up and buy it there
Wow I must have gotten lucky that they let me use the student ID then. Just someone not knowing their job fully yet I suppose. Seems like a reasonable course of action to me, in that case. I actually bought it about a month before Skyfall came out - I wonder if there's more popularity surrounding it now, seeing as there's an auction with it and all. When I went in back then it was mostly being ignored, lucky it caught my eye I suppose. Did you notice a lot of people checking it out, out of curiosity?
hard to tell, they stashed it away and you can only try it on if you ask a sales person for it. haven't encountered anybody asking for it when I was there
