The Ashby Wax Jacket in Olive from Barbour, the same style this run published one batch ago in Navy, in six ounce Sylkoil waxed cotton with a needlecord collar, a storm fly front and a two way zip, listed at 269 GBP. It is worth beginning with what the run has been waiting for, which is two colourways of one style that carry a style number. It is worth then reading the two numbers, which are MWX0339 on both, and it is worth then reading the two colour codes, which are ny92 and ol71. It is worth then stating what that lets the run do for the first time, which is parse a code, because it has two. It is worth then stating what it reads, which is that ny and ol are the first two letters of navy and olive, and it is worth then stating what it does not read, which is the digits. It is worth then turning to the chart, and it is worth then stating what it is, which is the same fifteen figures, and it is worth then stating what that is worth: this is the chart the run called generated one batch ago, and it now has a second and independent sign. It is worth then turning to the fields, because that is where this garment does its real work. The reference is the Ashby Wax Jacket. Dongguan Bafinasa Garments Co., Ltd. develops comparable outerwear on OEM and ODM terms, from fabric and trim development to retail or FBA ready packing. We publish this as a development reference and build your own version of it, and we do not supply the branded original or reproduce anyone else's label.
Key Features
- A style number that holds across two colourways with a colour code that moves, the first code in this run the run has been able to parse because it has two of them. See the note below
- Half the colour code reads as the colour name, ny and ol, and half does not, 92 and 71, and the run cannot say what the digits are. See the note below
- The same fifteen chart figures as the other colourway, which is the second independent sign that this chart is written from a rule. See the note below
- The extra chart column is on both colourways, so on this style the extra column belongs to the style and not to the garment. See the note below
- A made in line that is on the navy and absent on the olive, so a field can be filled on one colourway and empty on the other. See the note below
- A broken sentence that is on the navy only, so it was written for one colourway and is not the block. See the note below
- A colour carried as a bullet on the navy and not on the olive, so the bullet list is per colourway too. See the note below
- Two image naming systems across two colourways of one style, and the olive's run 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 8 with two numbers missing. See the note below

Size Chart as Published by the Reference
| Size | Chest Pit to Pit (in) | Sleeve (in) | Total Length (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| M | 21.5 in | 26.5 in | 30 in |
| L | 22.5 in | 27 in | 30.5 in |
| XL | 23.5 in | 27.5 in | 31 in |
| XXL | 24.5 in | 28 in | 31.5 in |
The chest figures are flat half measures, doubling to 43, 45, 47 and 49 in around on the four sizes offered, and the ease works out at exactly 4.00 in at every size, exactly as on the navy. Note what this run said one batch ago about that chart, which is that three perfect arithmetic series and a perfectly constant ease are the signature of a chart written from a rule. Note what this colourway adds, which is a second and independent sign: the same fifteen figures appear on both. Note the two readings of that, which are that the chart was measured once and carried, or that it was never measured, and note what they have in common, which is that neither describes the garment on this page. Note the fifth column, an S that is not sold, which is on both colourways, and note what that settles: last batch the run said the extra column was per garment, because another house had one on one garment and not another, and here it is per style. Note the body table, which is men's of 39 to 45 in. Note what is not stated here that is stated on the navy, which is the country of manufacture, and note what that does to every not stated the run has ever written. Our proposal below publishes the coating and its share, the fabric weight for both layers, the collar wale count and depth, the zip length and gauge, a pocket count with dimensions, the sleeve measurement point with the sleeve taken from the shoulder, the grading rule with figures taken on the style, and one style number with every field filled on every colourway.

Occasions and Styling
Suits everyday wear, the outdoors, country and field use, work with a casual code and travel. A waxed cotton jacket carries a knit, a shirt or a fleece under it, and it is meant to be worn until it looks used.
Production and Quality Control
The reference publishes a fabric weight as a number with a unit, three measurements across five columns, names its cloth, collar, front, zip, studs and pockets, gives a style number and a colour code as separate fields, names the style it is based on, and carries six photographs and every size in stock. It gives no coating share although the coating is the point of the garment, no lining weight, no collar depth or wale count, no zip length or gauge, no stud count or spacing, no pocket count that can be read, no hem, no shoulder width, no waist, no hip, no sleeve measurement point, no reproofing instruction, no country of manufacture although the other colourway states one, no certification, no model, no size conversion, no shrinkage figure and no fit word, it offers four sizes while its chart carries five columns, and one of its five care instructions contains a typo. Three things follow: the first style number this run has held across two colourways, and with it the first colour code it has been able to read half of; a field that is filled on one colourway and empty on the other, so not stated and not true are the same string on a page; and a chart that repeats exactly across colourways, which is the second independent sign that it was written from a rule.
MWX0339 on both, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what the run needed in order to read a code. It is worth then stating what it needed, which is two of them, and what it has had until now, which is one per garment. It is worth then reading the two colour codes: ny92 and ol71. It is worth then stating what the run can read, which is that ny is navy and ol is olive, the first two letters of the name. It is worth then stating what it cannot read, which is the digits, and that it cannot say whether they are a sequence, a shade or a season. It is worth then stating what the run now has that it did not have: a way to group colourways by a field rather than by reading the prose. It is worth then stating who else it has met and what each one gave it: a house with no number at all, which it had to group by prose; a house whose two codes differed in one digit, which it could group but not read; a house with a bare code and no key, which gave it nothing. It is worth then stating where this one sits, which is above all of them, and it is worth then saying what it should do now: ask for this scheme and record that only one house in nine has given it.
Moldova, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying where it is written. It is worth then stating where, which is on the navy, and where it is not, which is here. It is worth then stating what the run has been doing with this field for a hundred and eight garments, which is recording it as a fact about the garment and reading a tier into it. It is worth then stating what this shows, which is that it is a field, and a field can be left empty. It is worth then stating the consequence, which is the part that reaches backwards. It is worth then stating it: every not stated the run has written may be a field that exists and was not filled on that listing, and it cannot tell the difference. It is worth then stating what it should do, which is say not stated on this listing rather than not stated, and where it has two colourways, say which fields differ. It is worth then closing on the sentence that is broken on the navy and not here. It is worth then stating what that gives it: a test. A defect on both colourways is the block. A defect on one was written by somebody.
Optional upgrades include the coating named with its share, the fabric weight for the lining as well as the outer, the collar depth and wale count, the zip length and gauge, the stud count and spacing, a pocket count with the dimensions of each pocket, the shoulder width, the waist and the hip, the hem circumference, the sleeve measurement point with the sleeve taken from the shoulder, the grading rule published alongside figures taken on the style, the country of manufacture filled in as it is on the other colourway, a reproofing instruction and aftercare, a fit word, a size conversion table, the chart and the offer reconciled so the S column is either sold or removed, a stock line for every colourway, shrinkage figures for both length and width, colour fastness to rubbing and light, 8 oz and dry wax options, quilted and tartan lining options, corduroy and plain collar options, one way zip and stud front options, patch and chest pocket options, relaxed and tailored fit options, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling.
