Barbour Mens Waxed Bedale Jacket - Olive

In 1980, Barbour produced their first short, lightweight jacket, the Bedale. Originally designed for riding, the Bedale is favoured by many Britons, from royalty to pop icons.

Dame Margaret Barbour designed the Bedale with equestrian practicalities in mind — with a shorter length, relaxed fit, rear vents and the essential Nylon inner 'drip-strip' that provided resistance to damp from horses seeping into the jacket. Made with mediumweight 6oz waxed cotton and fully interactive with optional zip-in thermal liners and hoods, the Bedale is a brilliant all-year-round jacket.

At the very heart of the Classic collection and a firm favourite year after year, the Classic Bedale is made using Barbour's 6oz Sylkoil. Originally introduced for riding, this relaxed-fit jacket is now a seasonal staple in town and country alike, with a mediumweight waxed cotton outer that's comfortable to wear and offers robust weather protection. The two-way front zip is reinforced by hardy stud fastenings to seal out wind and rain, while moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets and generous bellow pockets are winter must-haves. A sit-down collar in signature corduroy creates a smart appearance, but can also be raised for additional protection in bad weather, with a luxurious feel against the face and throat. Retaining unmistakeable Barbour authenticity, the Classic Bedale features a 100% cotton lining in the Original Classic Tartan print, adding an eye-catching heritage detail. This traditional men's waxed jacket is compatible with Barbour's zip-in liners and optional hoods, for all-round versatility.

The popularity of the Bedale has inspired a slimmed down version for women — the Beadnell, which is named after a small fishing village in Northumberland.
