Barbour Waxed Cotton Jacket Review: Is It Worth It? Bedale vs Ashby vs Beaufort

No need to buy for 400 dollars. You can buy them from a uk merchant for 220

These jackets are not worth it. Any quality hard-shell polyester jacket with a fleece lining is superior. More durable, zero maintenance, and cheaper.

Heeelp i want so bad the bedale but can’t sort the sizing:
-height 178cm
-weight 80 cm
-chest 107cm

I was looking To buy it 2 hand but seems like every barbour has its
Own mesures.
So far I was thinking of a c42 or c44 size

(The only jacket I cloud try on was the Ashby in L and it was perfect)

Great jackets for outdoor pursuits, big enough for layering for different seasons, the more wax you put on them ,less breathable they are, two way zip is a great bonus .
One of mine is over 35 years old and still great cond, been back to barbour once for a repair. Luckily still fits as I bought a size up many years back,the older ones ,classic have a eight to ten inch chest tolerance for layering and for when lifting arms up ,fishing,shooting,horse riding.
Newer slim styles are not the same as original.

Can lightweight ashby waxed protect from +5 cold

may i ask you the diff in term of size between the ashby size M and the bedale c38 (that should be a medium). thank you !

I am from Moldova. Was watching the video, and then had to pause and re-wind 5 times, to make sure I got it right. Now I will have to find where those jackets are made at ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An extremely helpful comparison video. many thanks.

I agree with the below comment. If you value quality and heritage buy the Barbour. I do not care for the Royal endorsement . I know many beaters and " countrymen and hunt people" who walk many miles in secondhand Barbour handed from gentry but those gentry are not predisposed. Any way, Advice to Yankees buy yourselves a Gud Dut. i.e. Weather proof hat. from Barbour in South Shields. Caps or Duts just ask!

im getting a bedale in navy for xmas i cannot wait it will be my first good jacket in a long time. thanks for the video

I love those gloves , what are they called ?

Why not a Hybrid made from Barbours top selling jackets ?
The Beaudale could have the back pocket to carry a hood , gloves or hat as well as the wind gerts on the sleeves.

Just wish he could pronounce ‘Bedale’ correctly.

The Bedale was originally designed as a riding jacket, hence the shorter cut.

I have the Beaufort for the extra length, to cover a jacket as described in the video. "Hot" tip; That rear game pocket makes a great pouch for one of those microwaveable heat pads, to keep the lower back warm if standing around for long periods outside.

You mentioned Hunter Wellies. Le Chameau are worth it but Hunters are trash.

It’s a jacket you’ll have for the rest of your life. Well worth it.

Sorry they might last but to me they look like a greasy tarp that fell off a truck!

Got a black one in size 38 for 145 bucks

AHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I can't believe you didn't cover the Border. I have one and they're amazing. Kind of like the Beaufort but it goes down to the knees. Much better if you're actually going to use it for outdoors activities. And the best feature is a HUGE inner pocket (one normal sized and one huge) where you can more or less fit a small laptop without any problem.

Well it looks good but the quality is average; my wife jacket failed after just 3 years; still have my fist one but only because it was a present from my parents; wouldn't buy another one; still have my old army jacket and as it turns out it will outlive me;

I originally wanted to have a bedale, because of the reasons you mentioned. The store me and my mom went to buy it at had sadly ran out of the bedale. They still had the beaufort, so we decided to buy it as an early birthday present for me, because I needed it at the time. I quickly fell in love with the large poacher pocket as a storage space for my gloves and scarf. When I visited england with my class, I was once again glad to have the pocket to protect my maps and the gloves I purchased there.

I personally happen to like your video ,the history behind the garment .I need to try it on in person but I believe Bedale is the one for me

I love the way this guy says the word jacket

How often to reproof Ashby? Every 5 years okay

I had one (can't remember the model) for many years for horse riding. They are great, quite warm, wind- and waterproof and durable. The zip-on hood is very useful for riding, because it zips off in case your hood gets stuck on a branch. Once I almost got pulled off the horse at such occasion while wearing a jackett with a fixed hood. Only downside to Barbour jackets is the fact you have to renew the wax from time to time, which is quite expensive and tedious.

Barbour waxed jackets are nonsense you sweat like a pig in them they are zéro breathability they aren't for active people they are for people that wish to APPEAR active and stylish

Of course it’s worth it. I have mine for 8 years now and still great!

Great jackets but they don't breathe well...omg...

Now that our Monarch has changed, it'll be interesting to see the Royal Warrant change, I have no doubt Barbour will be one of the companies that are selected to receive a warrant from Charles III considering they already had one from him as Prince of Wales, and he continues to be a fan of their quality.

Mate, it’s pronounced ‘Bee-dale’, just to save anymore embarrassment.

I have a Beaufort bought in 87... Still going!
10yrs ago I bought a Cowen Commando (no longer made, I think) which has more of a military look.

Just got a Barbour Corbridge in Scotland and it’s amazing. Kept all the wind and rain out and didn’t get damaged at all when I accidentally raked the cuff across a barbed wire fence when I was getting a closer look at a Highland Cow. I like the more tailored, rugged look of the Corbridge to the ones mentioned in this video.

I have had my Barbour Beedale for just under a year now and I love it, I have worn it all year round. It’s such a great jacket. Feels so good after a while seems to mould around your body! Well worth the money. 🙌

The Beadale is styled for horseback riding. The snap lower back flap is for sitting in a saddle, not for large bums. The sleeves seem short because these jacket patterns were made many years ago to fit British people, who were substantially smaller back then.

I purchased the Beaufort and had the wind guards taken out and sleeves lengthened. Definitely worth doing as a tall slim guy with long arms.

The sleeves are probably short because the British upper classes had no shoulders a la Rupert Everett.

These jackets last for a hundred years, if worn by king Charles III

Skinny 24 year old waiting on my asheby cant wait! What a fantastic review

these jackets look goof

ciano Farmer

Well, as far as sleeve length concerns with your Barbour you could often contact Barbour about your special sleeve length and then you could get appropriate sleeve length . Contact Barbour before any purchase and they will take good care of you.
Especially once they are made aware of who you are.

Are decathlon jackets any good ?

They sometimes do special models, my bedale I got from a barbour store (quite a big one too) and they had a store exclusive a bedale without storm cuffs in brown, which was exactly what I would have dreamed off, I can throw a fleece with cuffs on underneath and it seals off the elements

I like the look and heritage but I tried one on and I hated the way it fit. I felt like I was wearing a heavy wet towel over me

Things wrong with this review:
1. The Ashby is not considered a classic, it's part of the contemporary line.
2. Talking about Sylkoil but shows a picture of Thornproof; They're not the same finish.
3. The quality of the outsourced jackets are noticeably of lesser quality. For the famous quality of Barbour you have to stick to the classic range, which is still produced in house.

Yes.

Just bought my first Barbour wax jacket!

Can you do a review on the Corbridge waxed jacket ?
