International Waxed Jacket 1970s

Barbour's International waxed jacket — originally designed for motorcycle racing in 1936 and worn by Steve McQueen at the 1964 ISDT — is among the most historically significant British garments of the 20th century. 1970s UK-made examples with the original Barbour Beacon logo and the South Shields, England manufacturing tag predate the brand's expansion into fashion markets. Currently available for $100–$250. As Barbour's cultural capital grows through fashion collaborations with Palace, Engineered Garments, and Noah, original 1970s stock will appreciate significantly. Upside: $500–$1,500.
