You mean the name ?
Only pricks wear barbour, wherever they come from.
Everything is said in BSB words :
Barbour is bullshit. Hot, sweaty, oily, greasy, clammy, shapeless social climbing bullshit.

That’s fine if you don’t like Barbour! Not everyone does.

I unbutton jacket sleeve a little to accommodate my watch. Just like I unbutton first sleeve button when wearing a sweater so it does not catch against sleeve lining. It also easier to pull the sweater sleeve out when dressing. I unbutton first button on my overcoats because the gloves fit better that way and don't gather when pushed by the sleeve. There are other uses for surgeon cuffs as well, so you are doing it wrong.

If you're wearing a watch so large that you have to unbutton your sleeve to accommodate it, then I think you sir, are doing it wrong.

Exactly, gnatty. Also, if your shirt sleeve doesn't accommodate said clock on your wrist bespoke shirts take care of this.
