Absolutely beautiful jackets. Thank you for doing a thorough review on your jackets and hood, it is helpful as I just ordered my first Barbour Beadnell Waxed jacket and hope to hold on to it for years to come! The review of the hood is helpful as well and I will be ordering it to go with my new jacket. Thank you!
Well put together vid and conveys the sense of affection people (including myself) have for their own Barbour, as well as the length of time they last for. Proper. 👍
Thank you for all your Barbour reviews. I’m currently tossing and turning between these jackets and these reviews have helped (Beaufort btw). Be nice to see an updated review and where your at with your collection now😊
Great jackets...I've owned these for years and other Barbours. Just being picky, but even though it's spelt Bedale, it's pronounced 'Beeedale' Glad to see people over the pond appreciating an amazing British brand. 🇬🇧
This one video was all I needed to convince me to subscribe! Great videos! As a viewer I can almost feel the quality of the jackets through the screen, haha. Keep it up!
I love watching your reviews even though I’m a women and obviously your reviewing men’s jacket. Your videos are great. I can tell your a Barbour enthusiast. I got one as a present and nowI have 4 and counting.
Thanks for uploading this very useful video! I own a navy colored '94 Bedale jacket, also in size 38", so it's nice to see the exact difference between a Beaufort. Thanks!
Barbour jackets are literally the most solidly built jackets made and are absolutely timeless. I have worn them for years. They dress up or down. Great review OLAF.
Cool overview! Thanks! I’ve been thinking about buying a Barbour for about 5 years - I need to do it already! About to go down to my local Orvis and try some on. Shout out on the Speedmaster from a fellow owner! Great watch!
Hi Olaf Great comparison of the both jackets, looking for a Beaufort at the moment. Couldn't decide from the bedale or Beaufort. But watching this ,I'll go for the Beaufort. I have a solway zipper 25 years old 3 internationals ,one being a Steve McQueen .Other a 75th anniversary. 1. black one. 1.Burnell which is not probably 5 years old already. Watched all your vids today and thanks for putting up on you tube. R
Very informative video thanks! I live in England, and I didn't realise that Barbour jackets were popular in the US too? I always thought it was just the UK and European market's that was interested. Those Barbour's sure get around! :)
Very good review, pleasant disposition….. we love the Barbour jackets … they look great in the city paired with cashmere sweaters .. a man looks relaxed and casual but nice dressed in these jackets… check out the ladies selection … nicely made to last you a life time when we’ll cared for
I was fortunate enough to find a store that had these jackets and I gotta say wow! Just looking at pictures or videos doesn´t do justice, unlike most brand jackets it actually feels justified to spend a fair ammount of money on this jacket. For me the Beaufort feels right for me, I strongly prefer that easy to access inside zipper pocket instead of that velcro on the Bedale and the large back pocket will come very handy.
Nefus1988 great jacket. there is no other jacket in the world like the Beaufort. in fact if there was one jacket I could wear for the rest of my life the Beaufort would be it. it works from wet snowing freezing windy weather to warm summer rain showers. Enjoy.
This is a great review as I've been on the fence about which model to go for. You're the same height as me so it's very helpful to see them in real life and the differences between them. Thanks.
thank you so much, this review is very informative, you covered everything. back length, size, sleeve length, chest size etc. well done. btw the tartan cuts off on bedale because it was make for horse riders, hence it has back flaps.
Dam bro, i hope Barbour hooks you up with a jacket. Your reviews were helpful AF! I know which i am buying now.. i was hesitant to buy cause they not really available in stores near me, so i have to order, but wanted to know the fit and sizing explained. Thanks!
Great review! Im thinking of getting a Barbour jacket and I’m also around 5’8-5’9, but 130 lbs. So, do you think a 34= Small would fit me alright? I’ve been looking for an XS, but it’s almost impossible to find. ☹️ Please let me know. Thanks!
Hi 0Laf does this Beaufort have the Barbour logo stitched on the front left bellow pocket? and do some Barbour jackets not come with that logo stitching ?
I just bought a Barbour Ouston Quilted jacket and what an awesome jacket it is it fits like a glove really worm and not to dear £180 well worth it really good design.
hello, i'm trying to re-wax my beaufort (1990 model in a rare brown colour). Where I live now I am not able to find the original barbour wax. It is actually impossible to find on amazon. I found an aftermarket kind called "Otter wax". Do you think it ll work the same?
I really appreciate your Barbour videos. I just bought a Bedale (Black) but right after I completely fell in love with Beaufort (Sage) too. In your opinion it make sense to buy the Sage Beaufort too immediately after the Black Bedale?
How come my newly bought Beaufort jacket doesn't have snaps or zip for inner lining? Also no snaps to attach a hood... Are there different types of Beauforts? thanks
The lining now (2022) is a more modern tartan, larger print. My brother bought a Beaufort 30 years ago. It only expired recently, so he got another one. The Beaufort is one of the very few Barbour jackets made in England. If it is not written Made in England on the neck label, then it is made in China , Turkey or Romania.
congratulations for the great reviews. I bought a c50 bedale a100, but it is really very big. Breast measure 124 cm tall and 1.84cm, having got used on ebay seller me changes with a c48 hoping goes well, however, known that the jacket has a bell-shaped effect on you is fine and you do not notice any simile effect. I wrong with the measurements?
Hello OLAF2046, The Beaufort that you wear first. The color green seems lighter than the coats that are now available. Do you have a (web) address where I can get exactly that jacket? Thanks for your time
Hi! I would ask you about waxing/rewaxing your jacket. I've my Barbour jacket in sylkoil. I was never rewaxing it and I'm not sure that this type of material can be rewaxing. Some people say that Barbour can be rewaxing only in thornproof not in sylkoil, others give me advices that both materials I can rewaxing. What do U think about it?
I am the same height as you are, but for me even the Beaufort is too short (arms also) I would prefer it longer, like my DIY waxed navy smock I use for fishing. I would also welcome some thoughts about the design of the collar and frontal neck piece which should be roomier in order to accommodate something like a heavy wool scarf or a turtle neck Irish fisherman´s sweater... the cover of the collar could perhaps also benefit from another type of fabric than corduroy, which could be better suited for extreme climate. A hood for $45 ??? at this price I would expect a better collar design (as mentioned)!! Interior pockets are a must, and true wool tartan also, better if it is also your clan´s tartan... longer arms and a better cuff closing system are also on my list. These jackets are a classic and it is not advisable to change too much, so improvements should respect the original design and concept. So its up to the manufacturer to see if these recommendations are feasible. I love these jackets, after sweating and freezing for years inside Gore-Tex & friends, I am totally into waxed cotton and wool... greetings from wild, wet, windy and wonderful Western Patagonia
I believe Barbour repair 1 owner jackets that are 50 or more years old. I’ve had several of their jackets. Several because I’ve out grown the early ones. Had my Beaufort repaired and re waxed after c.30 or so years wear. Only downside is returns in the U.K. can take 2 or 3 months to arrive back. If repairing, best sending off in summer time. In days gone by, detachable hood was included. Now a separate purchase. A traditional product that doesn’t date.
This is absolutely the most beautiful barbour ive never seen. Where can i find it? Those colours are exyremely rare! Do you have some suggestions? Thank you in advance
Excellent review! I was wondering what I should search or type (on google) if I want to find the classic bedale (just like the one you have) with gold coated buttons? P.S. if you're selling yours I am more than willing to buy it ;)
Hey there, what size is your ralph Lauren sweatshirt? I'm 5'7, and I've been told that they are normally too large, even their xs small size can be too long
+Corbo1016 I have never seen a Blackwatch tartan zip in liner vest. The older A1xx wax coats used snap in liners and back then all the snap in liner vests were the acrylic/furry/fleece gilets. The newer A322 Modern Tartan black coloured wax Bedale/Beaufort does indeed have a matching Modern Tartan liner gilet that zips in. Google for BARBOUR QUILTED WAISTCOAT / ZIP IN LINER - BLACK MLI0001BK91 (A72)
+Dishank Contacts for my Bedale it is a size Small or C36 since it is a Classic, Active, Sporting Fit. If it was one of the Heritage, SL or Tailored items like the Ashby or Digby Jacket then a Medium would fit the same. Enjoy!
Do you find that the hood unsnaps too easily from the Bedale jacket, mine does, and I don't know if it's just my particular hood, or if it's a design flaw!
Charlie U.K. Yeah it does snap on/off easily especially when the collar is turned up and the hood is not worn. I believe the design is such that the hood is only meant to be worn when needed.
hello, sorry i would like you to help me i would like to take a beaufort but i don't know the size if 34 or 36 and i can't try them so i have to buy online. I have an ashby S that fits me perfectly even with a dress underneath, the chest is 92/93 cm so the 34 would be fine but I'm afraid that the sleeve is short. I saw a table that says that between 34 and 36 only the chest circumference changes but the sleeve length is the same. I don't know what to do ... ..can you help me? I'm 177cm tall and weigh 63kg dry. 🙏🏻
If a small Ashby fits you perfectly then I suspect that a 34 Beaufort will fit you well if you intend to wear it the same way. If you intend to wear more layers and if you want to wear it with a liner in as well then a 34 may end up quite snug.
The "Classic" version comes in Olive color, which is different than the normal/traditional Sage color. The Classic also uses a lighter weight waxed cotton called Sylkoil while the normal version used a slightly heavier material called Thornproof. In the video, his Beaufort and Bedale are both the normal thornproof version, while the other jacket that he holds up at 3:00 is a Classic version (you can tell because the Classic has a different interior tartan).
I've had both these jackets for well over 10 years and the dress gordon lining is clean as the day I got them. Albeit I sparingly wear them in normal urban/suburban fall/winter/spring conditions during a part of the year. If you find your lining is dirty or smelly Barbour can easily clean it or replace it for a small fee.
There's one thing that most people are unaware of . The Bedales sold on the Barbour website can be different to others sold in shops . My New with tags bedale i bought off of ebay , had no ribbed inner sleaves or the studs to attach a hood . ( thinking i had a clone/ fake ) After speaking to barbour , checking the🎉 authenticity, barcodes, and numbers on the label , i was told some jackets are made for retail . (In other words, they have a lower spec ) Im not sure if retail is just meant to those sold in the UK or other countries.
Yeah I agree the original sage green over the dress Gordon is a much brighter green than the darker ivy green on the new ancient tartan. The only place you can source an A150 and A100 is on the eBay USA or eBay UK websites. The UK eBay always have several of these older jackets usually in mint condition for super cheap (under $100) but not many sellers may want to ship to the USA or if they do then shipping will be around $30 usd
Yes. In NYC Orvis for $45 will ship your jackets to a site in New Hampshire. It takes 2 to 3 weeks during the summer months when everyone forgot they have a Barbour jacket in their closet (May to Sept). However it can take 3 to 6 weeks during the peak seasons when everyone realizes their jackets need re-waxing and cleaning (Sept to April)
I believe the Barbour USA website and actual NYC Soho Barbour store may use a different site for the rewaxing. Unless NC is the new site and NH is no longer used. I haven't rewaxed my coats this season as yet.
Hi mate, I know this is an old video now so might not get a reply. but would you say the bedale is a slightly tighter fit or could you fit a jumper/sweater underneath still? Thanks.
Hi MJ! I'm still here. LOL. The Bedale is oversized and not a slim fitted jacket. It is actually meant to be sized to take a formal dress shirt and thick wool sweater worn together underneath. I'm 5'8" tall and 160 lbs and have a C38 Bedale that fits me with space for sweaters.
@0LAF2046 Hi Olaf, thanks for the info, I'm still deciding between either the bedale or the ashby. I'm just over 6ft so i think the slightly longer ashby would benefit more... just wish it had the cuffs on the sleeves like the bedale haha.
This guy's Barbour reviews are the best I've seen. He shows all the practical features. Very Good.

Shout out on the Speedmaster from a fellow owner! Great watch!

Great review, needed to see them both and your video was a big help - thanks!
Hi Olaf
Great comparison of the both jackets, looking for a Beaufort at the moment.
Couldn't decide from the bedale or Beaufort.
But watching this ,I'll go for the Beaufort.
I have a solway zipper 25 years old
3 internationals ,one being a Steve McQueen .Other a 75th anniversary.
1. black one.
1.Burnell which is not probably 5 years old already.
Watched all your vids today and thanks for putting up on you tube.

7 year old video but still as good review as it gets. this video made me buy the exact beaufort old school model from ebay. thanks olaf!

Brilliant review - very informative. Thank you so much.
Great review - comprehensive and well-narrated, thank you.
thanks for your video! I was about to buy my first beaufort and it was very informative.

Great content but the olive one older one looks better to me, both are beautiful thought blessings brother 🙏🏼
Had my Gamefair since 1984. Superb coats
both look great on you. just picked up an Ogston in blue wax canvas. love it.
I have an Ogston. Have you had any problem with it getting holes, particularly near the gathered cuffs where the material folds?
@@jonstern7511 sadly yes, my Ogston got small holes at the creases of the billows pockets.

Where can I find the A114 hood? (older style black watch tartan)
hello,
i'm trying to re-wax my beaufort (1990 model in a rare brown colour). Where I live now I am not able to find the original barbour wax. It is actually impossible to find on amazon.
I found an aftermarket kind called "Otter wax". Do you think it ll work the same?

What is your jacket for super cold weather?
can you provide sleeve length from neck to hand opening?
Hello OLAF2046,
The Beaufort that you wear first. The color green seems lighter than the coats that are now available. Do you have a (web) address where I can get exactly that jacket?
Thanks for your time
Hi! I would ask you about waxing/rewaxing your jacket. I've my Barbour jacket in sylkoil. I was never rewaxing it and I'm not sure that this type of material can be rewaxing. Some people say that Barbour can be rewaxing only in thornproof not in sylkoil, others give me advices that both materials I can rewaxing. What do U think about it?
Great vid! Do you have a Sapper or the new Winter Utility jacket? If so, can you review them? How many Barbour coats do you own? :)
hi, do think the quality is as good as 20 years ago ? nice review, greetings from austria ....... BM
so those are only spring possibly fall jackets?
Olaf does the Beaufort have lining in the sleeves?
where can i find a good vintage one with the old tartan?
So which of them is better for winter, which is hottest?
I recently went upland hunting a realized the “game pocket” is actually where hunters put the birds they kill, not just shells. :)
Great jacket! Congratulations
Are both of the jackets in sage green?
Just bought a bedale online for £90 ($100). It’s vintage but is excellent. Can’t wait to get it re waxed and restore some of the old colour
When you say you took it back, you were able to return it after that long?
thanks for the video, very indepth!
Great review!
Just got a navy border in mint condition that's had some light use, cost me less than sixty quid, amazing jacket.
Please do a video on how you fold behind this neck protection flap
Great video!
this was helpful thank you!
l have to get one of these jackets. l am leaning towards the Bedale.
Great review! Thanks!
Great video, thank you
Classical technical clothing. Really nice.
If you could only have one, which would you choose?
Great reviews.
what colour is the bedale

great videos 👍
Hey there, what size is your ralph Lauren sweatshirt? I'm 5'7, and I've been told that they are normally too large, even their xs small size can be too long
Hi, it is a men's medium
Nice ones! However I will go for the olive ashby one, I really like the tighter fit on it.
Renegade Tried one on today and the unlined sleeves were very uncomfortable. Now I’m thinking Beaufort instead.
@@PHOBIAx57x my Ashby has a green lining inside the sleeves
BOOBIE FEEŤ yes the sleeve linings are polyester which trap in all the body heat and can make it very clammy and 🥵
does Barbour make a liner for the bedale black watch tartan other than the fleece snap in?
+Corbo1016
I have never seen a Blackwatch tartan zip in liner vest. The older A1xx wax coats used snap in liners and back then all the snap in liner vests were the acrylic/furry/fleece gilets. The newer A322 Modern Tartan black coloured wax Bedale/Beaufort does indeed have a matching Modern Tartan liner gilet that zips in. Google for BARBOUR QUILTED WAISTCOAT / ZIP IN LINER - BLACK MLI0001BK91 (A72)
You can buy a liner making it much warmer in cold weather.
Great review as always. Any thoughts on non-traditional colours such as black and navy? Does it have to be 'green'?
Doesn't have to be but that's the traditional way. Green goes best if you're in the countryside a lot, I think. Navy works best if you're in the city
You're the man! About to pick up a Bedale. Which size was yours (I'm in USA so I have S,M,L options)
+Dishank Contacts for my Bedale it is a size Small or C36 since it is a Classic, Active, Sporting Fit. If it was one of the Heritage, SL or Tailored items like the Ashby or Digby Jacket then a Medium would fit the same.
Enjoy!
Do you find that the hood unsnaps too easily from the Bedale jacket, mine does, and I don't know if it's just my particular hood, or if it's a design flaw!
Charlie U.K. Yeah it does snap on/off easily especially when the collar is turned up and the hood is not worn. I believe the design is such that the hood is only meant to be worn when needed.
0LAF2046 try adjusting with pliers or emery
Yes, i use a huge safety/ kilt pin on my hood as ive neatly lost it a few times.
5’6” 155lbs. What size Bedale would fit best? I normally wear a 38short in suit jackets.
C36! Get the C36!
hello, sorry i would like you to help me i would like to take a beaufort but i don't know the size if 34 or 36 and i can't try them so i have to buy online. I have an ashby S that fits me perfectly even with a dress underneath, the chest is 92/93 cm so the 34 would be fine but I'm afraid that the sleeve is short.

I'm 177cm tall and weigh 63kg dry. 🙏🏻
If a small Ashby fits you perfectly then I suspect that a 34 Beaufort will fit you well if you intend to wear it the same way. If you intend to wear more layers and if you want to wear it with a liner in as well then a 34 may end up quite snug.
On the barbour online Shop is one Classic Version and one normal bedale/beauffort ... Can you Tell me the difference between These Models?
The "Classic" version comes in Olive color, which is different than the normal/traditional Sage color. The Classic also uses a lighter weight waxed cotton called Sylkoil while the normal version used a slightly heavier material called Thornproof. In the video, his Beaufort and Bedale are both the normal thornproof version, while the other jacket that he holds up at 3:00 is a Classic version (you can tell because the Classic has a different interior tartan).
curious to know how to clean the inside fabric if it gets dirty or sweaty
I've had both these jackets for well over 10 years and the dress gordon lining is clean as the day I got them. Albeit I sparingly wear them in normal urban/suburban fall/winter/spring conditions during a part of the year. If you find your lining is dirty or smelly Barbour can easily clean it or replace it for a small fee.
There's one thing that most people are unaware of .
The Bedales sold on the Barbour website can be different to others sold in shops .
My New with tags bedale i bought off of ebay , had no ribbed inner sleaves or the studs to attach a hood .
( thinking i had a clone/ fake )
After speaking to barbour , checking the🎉 authenticity, barcodes, and numbers on the label , i was told some jackets are made for retail .
(In other words, they have a lower spec )
Im not sure if retail is just meant to those sold in the UK or other countries.
Hi! Do you know where I could find the A150 model online? Cause that green looks so much better as compared to the new series
Yeah I agree the original sage green over the dress Gordon is a much brighter green than the darker ivy green on the new ancient tartan. The only place you can source an A150 and A100 is on the eBay USA or eBay UK websites. The UK eBay always have several of these older jackets usually in mint condition for super cheap (under $100) but not many sellers may want to ship to the USA or if they do then shipping will be around $30 usd
+olaf2046 cheers indeed mate!
Olaf, you can get the coat rewaxed in NYC? Or are you saying sending from NYC to North Carolina takes two weeks (NC being where Barbour says to send)?
Yes. In NYC Orvis for $45 will ship your jackets to a site in New Hampshire. It takes 2 to 3 weeks during the summer months when everyone forgot they have a Barbour jacket in their closet (May to Sept). However it can take 3 to 6 weeks during the peak seasons when everyone realizes their jackets need re-waxing and cleaning (Sept to April)
I believe the Barbour USA website and actual NYC Soho Barbour store may use a different site for the rewaxing. Unless NC is the new site and NH is no longer used. I haven't rewaxed my coats this season as yet.
Thanks! Yes on the Barbour site it says Winston-Salem. Thanks again, good presentation.
Great vid
I've always wondered, what is the art behind you? Do you know the artist? Seen this video a lot and my eyes are always drawn to it
Hi mate, I know this is an old video now so might not get a reply. but would you say the bedale is a slightly tighter fit or could you fit a jumper/sweater underneath still? Thanks.
Hi MJ! I'm still here. LOL. The Bedale is oversized and not a slim fitted jacket. It is actually meant to be sized to take a formal dress shirt and thick wool sweater worn together underneath. I'm 5'8" tall and 160 lbs and have a C38 Bedale that fits me with space for sweaters.
@0LAF2046 Hi Olaf, thanks for the info, I'm still deciding between either the bedale or the ashby. I'm just over 6ft so i think the slightly longer ashby would benefit more... just wish it had the cuffs on the sleeves like the bedale haha.
So you wear a Bedale in 36 and a Beaufort in 38 ?
