In some ways, Charles’s love for a nice parka or a tweed is quintessentially British, and reflects the tastes of the middle classes specifically. Earlier this year,pointed out that the ubiquity of Barbour-style jackets might be due to the fact that they split the difference between being too posh and being attainable, while still having a bit of luxury.
