Smyths Country Sports has been selling Barbour jackets and other products in the UK & Ireland for over 40 years, online for 15 years, and we have had MANY kind comments from happy customers over that time including over 4,458 positive feedback messages on eBay. We've just realised the importance of these testimonials for new customers (call us slow learners!) and have started to collate them here for easy reference. Unfortunately we have lost many such quotes over the years - we just thought great service was normal...

41. The bag I ordered was £40 cheaper with you than I could find elsewhere; this made me slightly nervous, so I checked for any reviews online, and you had some glowing ones! I had no cause for concern - the bag arrived in super quick time and is perfect.

26. I was so impressed with my purchase of a Barbour cartridge bag. It was £20 cheaper than anywhere else online. It arrived the day after I had ordered it. It was exactly what I had ordered. What more could you ask from an online shopping service? I will shop here again without any question. Thank you Stephen for you prompt and professional service and I loved your little note tucked inside the package.

14. Quite simply outstanding service from the proprietor Stephen Smyth. On our 1st visit He made us feel that we were his most important clients and to this day that has not changed, he takes time to get to know his customers and his knowledge and enthusiasm about his products is infectious. If you want outstanding service coupled with a quality product, at value for money then this is, without exception, the place to go. Coleraine should be very proud to have someone like Stephen flying it's flag. Thank you :)"
