It's hard to believe that such a... shall we say it... 'ugly yet practical' jacket shot to popularity in the first place but the Barbour "Beaufort" jacket is set to fly off the shelves again. What? How? Why? You may be asking. Well, it all began with Helen Mirren and her film "The Queen" where she is seen taking the dogs for a stroll in a Beaufort wax hunting jacket and suddenly the damn things were being touted as one of this season's hottest coats. Aside this and the fact that they're priced at £195 ($365) a pop, J.Barbour & Sons Ltd are expecting a second drive in sales since Mirren took home a Golden Globe for her performance this week. So there you have it, if you've ever wondered what it took to dress like our dear Queen Lizzy now you know. Just do us one favour and never tell a single soul... ever.
