The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge surprised Northern Ireland with an unexpected visit, commencing a series of Royal engagements. They journeyed to County Tyrone, enjoying a ride in a fire truck and observing trainee firefighters at the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service Learning and Development College.
During the visit, the Duchess initially wore an olive green Alexander McQueen coat dress but later changed into a familiar Barbour jacket. This particular barn jacket has gained popularity as a trendy and functional autumn essential, showcased by the Duchess today. For those interested in acquiring Kate’s exact jacket, it is available for purchase at House Of Bruar for £269.
Inspired by the late Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion choices, particularly her preference for the Barbour Green Waxed Beaufort Jacket, Kate emulated the iconic style with her own beloved Barbour jacket. She opted for the Barbour Winter Defence Wax Jacket, priced at £269, offering a modern twist on the classic Defence style with enhanced warmth and protection against the elements.
Kate’s Winter Defence jacket boasts practical features like shoulder epaulettes and utility pockets, ensuring convenience on-the-go. With its zip fastening, studded storm flap, and cord-lined funnel neck, this jacket combines functionality with timeless style, suitable for various occasions from country walks to everyday wear. The jacket is available in nearly all sizes, except temporarily out of stock in size 16.
For those seeking a Royal-inspired look on a budget, alternatives like Marks & Spencer’s Waxed Pure Cotton Utility Jacket or FatFace’s Devon Dark Green Heritage Jacket offer similar styles at more affordable prices. Additionally, Debenhams and H&M provide cost-effective options like the Lands’ End Waxed Barn Jacket and Corduroy-collar jacket, respectively.
