Primark shoppers love a new £34 autumn jacket that's been compared to a designer style. The retailer's Trapeze Barn Jacket caught attention when it was featured in a viral video, showcased by a fan who thinks the 'old money' jacket resembles a pricier alternative.
The jacket was highlighted in a video shared byTikTok user @Amberreenie. She also praised a similar sand-coloured barn jacket when she showcased the styles in a try-on video. Amber wrote: "Not Primark dropping these old money, British countryside chic, Barbour style jackets right before Autumn/Winter."
In her video's caption, she told her 113,000 followers: "Run to Primark," and the post proved very popular. The video received over 450,000 views and 60,000 likes.
One fan replied: "No I NEED the dark brown one." A second wrote: "Omggggg." A third said: "Wow love!" and a fourth echoed: "I love and need omg." A fifth fan commented: "So cuteeee."
Someone added: "These are unreal." Another excited comment read: "Sorry these are PRIMARK??" A keen shopper shared: "Omg I NEEED WOW. They look so good on you," while a different response said: "They’re perfect." Amber replied: "How gorgeous."
However, someone else wrote: "Will never be a Barbour." Another viewer claimed: "They physically look super cheap." Primark describes the Trapeze Barn Jacket as a brown jacket with a cord collar and trapeze fit.
The product description says: "Layer up with this barn-style jacket in a rich brown shade. It’s cut in a trapeze silhouette for a relaxed fit that widens at the hem, with long sleeves, a button-up front and classic corduroy collar. Front flap patch pockets offer added function, while the buttoned cuffs finish the look. An easy piece to throw over casual outfits when you need that extra layer."
It adds that the jacket is 100% cotton, with a half-length sleeve and button fastening. The khaki jacket is available in sizes XS and XL, and it's available for click and collect from Primark's website.
While the fashion fan did not mention a particular Barbour jacket, the brand's Barn jackets range in price from £129 to £269. For instance, the Catlin Showerproof Jacket,available in black, green or grey, retails for £219. It's not an exact match for the Primark jacket, but it could suit fashion fans looking for a similar style for their autumn wardrobes.
The product description says: "Discover the perfect jacket for the summer months with the Barbour Catlin Showerproof Jacket. This short showerproof style boasts a subtle A-line silhouette with tartan lining to the under cuffs.
"Featuring a deep inverted box pleat to the reverse and an oversized rendition of our iconic zip pull, the Catlin is a timeless style for seasonal wear."
