The 7 Best Barn Jackets to Wear this Fall and Winter

Stylish, practical, utilitarian barn coats with updated heritage designs to add to your Fall and Winter wardrobe. 

Barn Coats

Barn coats or chore coats are making a statement this Fall. According to social media they are the “it coat” for Fall and Winter. These utilitarian and practical coats have left their humble beginnings on farms and recently landed on the runways of Paris, Milan and NY. Now they are everywhere.

I purchased my first barn coat in 2001, a wax Barbour jacket to cut the biting wind and rain while on a 3 week walking trip in the UK. The year before while on a trip to Scotland I was ill prepared for the cold and was directed to the nearest Barbour store by one of the locals. They instructed me to get a pair of wellie boots and a wax jacket.

All these years later I still wear my original Barbour jacket and Le Chemeau boots in the Fall and Winter, they are warm and comfortable. Since then I have purchased a couple more Barbour coats and alternate between them in the Fall and Winter.

7 BEST BARN COATS

A classic barn coat is a wardrobe staple, it’s the perfect jacket for chilly days and outdoor adventures. Most have a relaxed fit that allow you to layer a shirt and a sweater underneath to stay extra warm. Some have plaid lining or flannel lining, front pockets and are waxed to keep water out. Others are more minimal.

If you want to add a barn coat or jacket to your fall wardrobe here are 7 you might like. If none of these are to your taste check out the collage below for my styles and colors.

This season the barn jacket trend includes all sorts of styles including vintage style, a denim barn jacket, workwear jacket, and classic style to name just a few.

There is barn jacket to suit all tastes and budgets, some like the Alex Mills and Barbour jackets are more expensive. But they are made with high quality materials and their craftsmanship has stood the test of time. Case in point, my oldest Barbour is over 20 years old and still looks and wears great. Boden, The Gap and JCrew are less expensive and well made.
