Average at best. What has become of Barbour?

I bought this online at short notice as the zip finally failed on my old faithful backpack, so didn't get to see one in-store.
Sadly Barbour seem to be embracing the lower quality 'fashion' market on a few of their lines in recent years and this bag is a prime example.
It looks, and feels, more like a cheap synthetic material than the stated waxed canvas, but my main issue is with the woefully inadequate shoulder straps. They appear to have been tacked on at the last second from the flimsiest, thinnest (and no doubt cheapest) straps they could find.
Single line stitching and no padding whatsoever. From the back it looks (and feels) like a cheap knock-off.
It'll do in a pinch, but I don't expect it to last. Sadly, it may well be my last Barbour purchase.
On a side note, this was my first purchase from allweathers and they were excellent. I'll happily buy from them again, but I doubt it'll be Barbour!
