Barbour introduced a revamped version of the Gamefair for 2010, and having seen it in person it looks like a heavyweight variant of the Beaufort.
Having read a few threads here about Barbour jackets, I'm trying to find out more about the earlier Gamefair - model A123. Can anyone here help out? Were there different versions over the years?
Lengthwise it seems to fall between the Beaufort and the Border. Some models seem to have the handwarmer pockets, others not. Likewise some have one poacher pocket inside left, others have two poacher pockets. How about the fabric weight? Would this be the 6oz or the 8oz cloth? And finally, does the Gamefair have ribbed or velcro cuffs in the sleeves?
I have two Beauforts (Navy and Classic/Sylkoil) which are great for business travel but not really long or warm enough for walking my dogs during Colorado winters. The older Gamefair caught my attention, but if its only real difference is an internal poacher pocket and a couple extra inches in length, then perhaps the Northumbria should be on my shopping list. I'd appreciate any insights from folks who've owned or worn the A123 Gamefair.
