Why We Love This Deal
Barbour built its reputation on waxed canvas jackets. This British brand is known for its sturdy, durable, and incredibly stylish waxed layers, but that’s certainly not the only thing the company makes. Barbour brings the same quality and timeless aesthetics to its quilted jackets and other styles, and you can often find them for much less than the pricey waxed canvas outerwear. One of them, a very classy waterproof coat, is over $175 off at Nordstrom right now.
The Barbour Whitstone Waterproof Jacket is on sale for $267, a 40% discount from its normal price of $445. This jacket is available in a handsome shade of navy blue at that price (with a full size range in stock), and it’s also available in Tan for 35% off (or $289). This jacket is no longer available on Barbour’s website, and, as far as we can see, Nordstrom has the best price on it.

The Whitstone is a true rain jacket with a 2.5-layer construction (shell fabric, waterproof membrane, and an interior backing to protect the membrane). It also features taped seams to prevent leaks. Overall, the waterproofing is robust, and the Whitstone has features similar to those found in techy outdoors-oriented layers.
Of course, aesthetically, it blows those gorpy jackets out of the water. The exterior cotton-nylon fabric has great texture and durability, and the minimalist pocket layout—two large patch pockets with hidden slash pockets behind them—gives the jacket a clean, classic look. Up top, the attached hood and stand collar provide plenty of protection, and the hood is adjustable with a drawstring, so you can cinch it down tight in nasty weather.

Protective and handsome, the Whitstone is perfect for wearing to work, travel, or more formal occasions when you want to stay dry but also look nice. Of course, it’s not overly dressy, so you can throw it on over a sweatshirt and sweatpants, too. Looking for other outerwear options? Check out Nordstrom’s other Barbour picks on sale, including the Tyneport Quilted Jacket, the Lorig Raincoat, and the Chelsea Waterproof Twill Jacket.
It makes sense to invest in a quality name-brand rain jacket—it’ll come in handy basically year-round, but you don’t necessarily have to pay Burberry prices. The Barbour Whitstone fits the bill perfectly, and with this 40% discount, there’s never been a better time to bring one home. But act fast, because Barbour layers always sell quickly when they’re on sale.
