Barbour
Just wanted to second all the recommendations for Cox the Saddler when buying Barbour from the US. I paid $220 USD delivered for a Hereford from them, vs. $395 USD from the Barbour US site. And Sara was super helpful in helping me determine what size to get. I had tried on a Bedale at Nordstrom so knew my size in that model, and was able to figure exactly which Hereford size would fit similarly. https://www.saddler.co.uk

Agreed on RL shoes being not very impressive. Would suggest looking for what they have that’s made in England, Italy, or USA, then consult this thread to see who is the likely maker: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/ralph-lauren-lines-and-who-makes-what-a-definitive-guide.94886/

DOUBLE RL
Lots of good UK options! For ribbed shawl collar cardigans, check out the lambswool or cashmere ones from William Lockie. Looks like they are carried by a bunch of UK retailers.
For RRL, I think the hand knit ones are really cool. Derek Guy loves them for example. Great textures! https://x.com/dieworkwear/status/1679634132853489666?s=46

DOUBLE RL
FYI, RRL doesn’t typically go on sale for Black Friday or holiday on the core and current season items. The “sitewide” holiday sales are pretty much only for PRL and RLX.
However, you may be able to find the shirt jacket from a non-Ralph Lauren shop that carries RRL and is doing a store wide sale for Black Friday. That’s probably your best bet to find on sale before the end of the year.
When switching seasons RRL will typically discount to 30% off on the prior season items. But never more than 30% off. So expect to see 30% off RRL items in January on RalphLauren.com.
If you let me know which shirt jacket you’re targeting, I’m happy to speculate on whether will end up on sale in January based on whether it’s a core item or seasonal. (My sister-in-law works for RRL, thus the knowledge.)
Good luck!
