Barbour Bedale Wax Jacket - Men's

Why We Like The Barbour Bedale Wax Jacket

Originally created in 1980 for equestrian pursuits, the Barbour Bedale Wax Jacket exudes classic British sensibilities with its waxed cotton exterior, ring-pull zipper, and Stormfly front closure. Its shorter length, tailored fit, and rear vents reflect its equestrian heritage, with a six-ounce waxed cotton exterior for protection in damp maritime environments. The corduroy collar provides smooth-wearing sophistication, with external snaps for attaching an optional hood.

Right As Rain

Familiarity:: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Size Bought:: 40
Height:: 5' 9"
Weight:: 165

I purchased one of these on sale as a birthday gift for myself to replace a 10-year old Barbour Sapper rain jacket. Unlike the Sapper, this jacket is (1) made in UK and (2) runs by chest size, not S,M,L,XL. Immediately upon opening the package, I could feel the high quality construction in the jacket. The waxed cotton was, indeed, waxy, almost greasy feeling. The way the jacket rests on you feels sturdy and well-made. From what I had read beforehand, choosing the right size is the trickiest part with these jackets. However, I went with usual (not true) size and had no issues. My chest size is 38, but I typically buy one size up for coats (to consider having a bit of room for layering, as I tend to wear these jackets in the colder months). At 5' 9" and 165 pounds, with an athletic build, the 40 was just right for me.
