As much as I love Barbour jackets, Barbour waxed jackets are NOT winter coats. You will freeze if you wear these outside sub 50 degree weather. Unless you're wearing a sweater or a zip in liner, these are primarily for fall and spring temperatures and built for rain. I'd advise against getting a waxed jacket if you're looking for a "winter" jacket. Since you said you're looking at a parka I'm assuming cold and snowy weather is what you're looking to get a jacket for.

I have one with a faux fur zip-in liner and I use it in winter in Pennsylvania. I wouldn’t wear it much below -20F, but it doesn’t often get that cold here. The collar flips up and reveals a strap with a snap that goes across neck to help keep cold air out. This is nice on cold windy days. It works with a scarf too. In my opinion the biggest issue in really cold weather is my arms will be cooler than my torso because the liner doesn’t go down the arms.
