My Last Fake Barbour Post

While fiddling around over the weekend, I noted both my fake and real Barbour coats came with lapel badges. I hunted around and got both together to compare side by side. The comparison illuminates the whole difference between the fake and real coats themselves. The real one is on the right.Note the slight difference in size and that the real one is cast polished brass, while the fake is plated (if you can see that). Also the fake is painted around the letters, while the real one is enameled.

It is a wonder to me that the counterfeiter went so far as to even fake the badge to complete the charade.
