Barbour Bedale Jacket

As one of the original Barbour jackets to make the transition from the functional nature of countryside style to the fashion-conscious high street, the Barbour Bedale Jacket is a truly iconic staple of one of Britain’s most cherished brands- and most recently, a genuine piece of distinct and stylish outerwear.

Designed by Dame Margaret Barbour herself, the Barbour Bedale Jacket was purposefully created in 1980 for equestrian use. A shorter cut in the body, along with a fitted classic cut and a thornproof waxed finish that was both wind and waterproof gave the Bedale the perfect credentials to serve anyone on horseback. Bellowed pockets provided ample storage, whilst interactive features throughout the entire coat made it completely practical for any weather conditions.

The versatile nature of the Barbour Bedale Jacket helped it to become such a success that up to date editions stay true in almost identical fashion- with the Bedale’s rugged traditional looks and adaptable nature making it the perfect all seasonal.

With the customary waxed finish giving off an instant appeal that can only be afforded by Barbour tradition, the Barbour Bedale Jacket also features an unmissable corduroy collar and a checked lining that delivers all the promise of characteristic British countryside styling.

Such a deeply evolved heritage has given the Barbour Bedale the chance to transcend generations and fashion movements; most notably thanks to Arctic Monkey’s frontman Alex Turner wearing his Barbour Bedale Jacket on stage to keep his fashionable status alive whilst he shielded himself from the inevitable wind and rain of the Great British weather.
