Just accept it's faded and wear it.

Unfortunately Barbour Jackets have got a bit overpriced (for what they are) in recent years and, in my opinion, are only 'OK' despite the Barbour name. There are plenty of second hand ones on, for instance, the Oxfam website and plenty of a similar quality, new, at about half the new price. Don't waste any more money on it !

Its not really a problem dear so dont worry, Barbours are worth far more as vintage jackets when they are weathered in.

Just call it patina.
