A Barbour waxed canvas coat will last forever. They require some care unlike anything else I own, y'know, 'cause it's the only garment I own that needs wax reapplied periodically, but it ages like a fine antique and is built to last.

I thought about buying one recently, but how do you clean the inside part of it well?

I just sponge it off & let it dry. It's outerwear, so I'm always wearing other clothes under it. It doesn't tend to get dirty.

I have their Border model from around 2000. I periodically send it back to Barbour and they reproof the coat and also stitch up anything that needs it. Last time I did it was less than $50. I just dropped it off to Orvis and they took care of sending it in. Yes, I could reproof it myself but well worth to just have them do it. Looks new when it comes back.
