Belstaff Womens Jacketsdevotion was no surprise to Malcolm Sutherland, managing director of Barbour. He reported that people became so attached to their coats that they were reluctant to part with them even for cleaning. 'Moncler Coats,ew years ago we had a coat come in for cleaning and repairs that had been bought in 1933. The model actually dated back from 1927, so it had been purchased second-hand. The owner said he had waited until retirement to have it re-proofed and cleaned because he couldn't spare it while he was working.'' Mr. Sutherland explained that oilskins can't be washed with soap, detergent or hot water, nor can they be chemicallyBelstaff Womens Jacketsy cleaned. ''You can turn a hose on a Barbour and get rid of some of the dirt, but anything else will ruin it. We get a fair share of desperate letters from wives who have secretly tried to wash their husbands' disreputable jackets and ruined them. They want us to replace these with old ones - so the husbands won't find out.'' Age, abrasions and a certain amount of dirt, in fact, give Barbours their cachet - but they must be re-proofed when the waxy dressing wears out. This can happen rapidly if the coat is subject to hard use. Spot re-proofing - done at home with cans of wax sold by the company - is usually sufficient to keep the coat weatherproof for several years before a total rewaxing is necessary.

The burnished coats were handsome and it was easy to understand why people wanted to keep their old coats. ''Sometimes the patching is so extensive we virtually replace the whole coat. We charge for these services, of course, but we'd be better off exchanging a new coat for some old ones - if our customers would let us,'' said Mr. Moncler Coats,Moncler Sweaters
