Fashion enthusiasts who missed out on the iconic Barbour X Ganni collaboration now have a stunning and affordable alternative to snap up. High street giant Next has launched a new leopard print waxed jacket that channels the exact aesthetic of the designer piece for a mere £75.
The Designer Inspiration Behind The Look
The original Barbour X Ganni Leopard-Print Waxed Cotton Jacket launched in 2024 and swiftly became a cult favourite. It was a key piece in reigniting the barn jacket trend, but its £600 price tag placed it firmly in the investment bracket, putting it out of reach for many style lovers.
Next's answer to this is the Animal Print Waxy Jacket with Cord Collar, which landed on the retailer's website on 11 January 2026. Priced at just £75, it represents a staggering saving of £525 compared to the designer version it emulates.
Examining Next's Affordable Fashion Find
This new-in jacket mirrors the desirable silhouette of its luxury inspiration. It features a classic barn jacket shape, complete with a contrasting collar made from black corduroy. The main body is crafted from 100% cotton, promising versatility across seasons.
Just like the Barbour X Ganni original, it boasts an all-over leopard print pattern, a print now considered a wardrobe neutral. Thoughtful details elevate its appearance, including gold hardware and a hidden tartan print lining within the placket fastening, giving it a high-end feel.
The jacket is currently available in a full size range, from extra small to extra large. According to Next's sizing guide, this should accommodate UK sizes approximately 6 to 22. As a newly launched product, customer reviews are not yet available.
Other Leopard Print Alternatives On The Market
Shoppers seeking the genuine article at a reduced cost might consider Ganni's Women's Leopard Print Canvas Midi Coach Jacket, which is currently on sale for £299, reduced from £375.
Other notable alternatives include:
- The Pixie Bomber Jacket from Damson Madder, priced at £125 and back in stock.
- The Only Quilted Canvas Jacket With Faux Leather Collar at ASOS, now discounted to £58.50 from £65, though sizes are selling fast.
However, for those wanting the specific barn jacket look at a truly accessible price point, Next's offering is poised to be a major hit as shoppers begin to refresh their wardrobes for the spring season.
