REVIVE RETOLD Anmeldelser 

I’m thoroughly impressed with Revive Retold’s work on our two Barbour jackets. One jacket received an inside pocket and cuffs while the other was taken in, shortened sleeves, and also gained an inside pocket. Both returned looking fantastic with incredible workmanship.

Throughout the process Scott was brilliant. He kept us regularly updated and promptly responded to any questions. It’s evident how much pride and care he puts into his work and the attention to detail is clear – even in the beautifully wrapped package when the jackets were returned.

I’m genuinely delighted with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Revive Retold to anyone looking to restore, alter or customise their Barbour jackets. Fantastic work from start to finish!

After years of my neglect I now have a waxed jacket and coat as good as new, with all repairs carried out perfectly. I received a really first class service. Re waxing in the recent hot weather must have been extremely difficult, and Scott regularly updated me on progress, so I knew exactly how things were progressing, and when the work would be completed. I am thrilled with the result, and would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering rewaxing. Return postage is included in the price, so distance provides no problem. Many thanks Scott.

All done for a good price including additional work that became apparent during the process.
Great communication all the way through the process and I am delighted with the result.
I now need to send them my other jackets.

Scott is a waxed cotton Wizard!
He has revived a much loved but exceedingly worn gilet from R M Williams, Australia, bought in 2016 and treated abysmally by me for over a decade.
It was posted back to me in zero waste paper packaging, in its own cotton sack, with a detailed personal note signed by Scott and Chris and even a little pin badge.
It is, in my opinion "better than new"; it has all the memories but now looks wonderfully tough once more. The numerous detailed repairs are practically invisible, with a tiny patch being the only giveaway to the trained eye. A little reminder of the resurrection!
Their service is quite simply above and beyond. If you want to be utterly delighted, like a child on Christmas Day, send them your own challenge.
Their enthusiasm for the work is the bedrock on which they stand, quite rightly, head and shoulders above the rest.
Thank you gentlemen for a truly magnificent service!

The team were professional, friendly, and really know their stuff. Managing to source an original barbour zip as a replacement as well as an outstanding re-wax job.

The extreme hot weather of the last few weeks caused issues but Steve let me know straight away, managed expectations and gave updated timelines. Which is just what I'd expect them to do, and the weather was certainly not their fault!

So would very much recommend.

I highly recommend this company. From the very first email the communication and customer service was outstanding. The quality of the work is brilliant my relatively new but not that well made wax jacket came back better than new. The original wax coating was not very good and had me wet through within a couple of wears but I can honestly say that Scott and Revive Retold have now protected me from the elements better than expected.

Excellent customer service throughout, Scott clearly communicates throughout the process and the final finished jacket is immaculate, he even identified a few extra bits of work and did them without extra charge! Would highly recommend, my jacket is 10 years old but now looks good as new.

Another outstanding job from Scott and Chris. My Belstaff was in sore need of repair and revival and they once again delivered.
I wouldn't use anyone else for coat repair now, and would recommend them without hesitation.

I needed some work doing on a wax jacket and wax gilet. Excellent experience from the initial enquiry to when the items were returned. All aspects of the personal service and workmanship were spot on. Highly recommended. Thank you.

Fantastic job on my "Craster " Barbour jacket, quality work!
Customer service second to none. Kept me updated through out the repairs. Some nice touches included in the return package.
Highly recommend these guys.
Veterans too, so a bonus!

No ifs nor buts :The service from Revive Retold in repairing my Belstaff jacket was from first contact to its return exemplary. An examination of the jacket was made to assess whether the repairs I thought necessary were sufficient to return it to good order. Carrying out the work was not conditional on having the jacket cleaned and rewaxed. I actually like its authentic mildly patinated condition. The repairs were carried out as soon as replacement parts could be sourced. I am fully satisfied with the result. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Revive Retold. I was kept informed by Scott throughout. Would that I could rely on this level of attention and value for money more often.
They were a delight to work with.

Look no further! Nothing short of wax-jacket miracle workers!!!
My 35-year-old Barbour was for the chop until I found REVIVE RETOLD - it’s Veteran run.
So many memories woven in to that old ragged, leaky coat - I had patched and stitched it like a proper amateur and it was basically Cat 5!
Got my quote (cheaper than buying a brand new one), sent my coat (easy labels emailed to me), and then let the professionals do their job.
Chris and Scott were straight up with me: REBUILD required! They kept me informed all the way. They wouldn’t take any more money from me, even though I knew they were going the extra mile to sort it.
Just wait for when it arrives - you’re in for a real treat: So much craftsmanship. A new experience in an old coat - now unique - that’ll probably see me out now!!!
Wearing it with pride and just wanted to say thanks to Chris and Scott - I know it’s just a coat but it means a lot.

Revive Retold have done an absolutely amazing job in restoring my 32 year old Beaufort Barbour Jacket.
I was so impressed from start to finish.
Scott provided a precise and informative quote.
My jacket was thoroughly checked and the necessary work was relayed to me in detail.
Scott sent me progress reports and kept me informed throughout.
I received my jacket back promptly as per schedule and the results were astounding.
My much loved jacket had been given a completely new lease of life.
I would highly recommend Revive Retold for great customer service, top class quality materials and an extremely high level of workmanship.

I handed over my beloved 25 year old Belstaff jacked to Scott and Chris and they have done a fantastic job on both repairing and rewaxing.
Amazing attention to detail, fantastic communication throughout and my old jacket was returned beautifully packaged & looking literally as good as new.
I can’t speak highly enough of the craftsmanship and customer service.
Here’s to another 25 years.
Thanks Guys !!

I have known Scott for many years, so I was really excited for him and Chris when they launched Revive Retold. Their hands-on experience with clothing for extreme weather truly sets them apart—they understand what actually works in real conditions.

As a petite 5ft woman, I’ve always struggled to find a jacket or coat that feels proportionate while still being reliable in all weather. Walking my dog is non-negotiable, whatever the conditions, so I needed something both practical and well-fitting.

After chatting with Scott, he confidently said, “No problem—I’ll make you one.” I wanted a longer coat to help keep my legs dry and protected, and what he created exceeded all expectations.

Scott designed a bespoke coat with incredible attention to detail. It has thoughtfully placed pockets for everything I need—dog treats, poo bags, toys, as well as my phone, tissues, and more—and, most importantly, it fits perfectly.

I absolutely love it and couldn’t recommend Revive Retold more highly. They are professional, considerate, and truly listen to what you want, while also offering honest and thoughtful advice.

Thank you, Scott, for creating such a unique and functional coat.

I never thought I’d get excited about a wax jacket repair, but I am over the moon with the refurbishment of my faithful, heavily beaten up 20-year old Barbour jacket. It was worn, torn, falling apart in places, but Scott of Revive Retold has worked a miracle! I could not have wished for better service from start to finish, with Scott sending me full survey and advising me of numerous options for repair. I opted for the funky contrasting patches and I am totally delighted with the finished product! I even love the eco packaging and the inclusion of care advice.

You will not find a better solution for getting your favourite wax jacket refurbished. And they’re ex-Royal Marines, too - proper heroes.

Sent my 40 year old Barbour Gamefair jacket which was in a pretty bad state to Scott at Revive Retold, they did an exceptional job of bringing it back to life repairing all the rips, tears and holes, the result was way beyond my expectations. Great service, would definitely recommend.

Absolutely fantastic service by Scott, 10/10. Scott restored my waxed Filson bibs. After a few seasons of hedgelaying they were in pieces. The work he did was nothing short of exceptional. His communication, eye for detail and quality of work is first class. Faultless. Will definitely use again.

I would say...why would you go anywhere else?
Fantastic company. My wax coat was returned to me as good as new. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Great communication and amazing work. Couldn't recommend more.
