BARBOUR Ashby 2023 New Jackets - Reviewed

[coreysaunders]

Brother, I found you video from 7 years ago on Barbour jackets. Absolutely love the content! You deserve way more of a look, you've got great content. I've binged some recent videos! Keep it up man!

If anyone is looking to get the quintessential Barbour, let me save you making the mistakes I made. Get a Beaufort, finished in thornproof wax, and get it slightly oversized. Whether you are a young hipster, or an old farmer, this is the jacket you want. (edit: this jacket is a for a man, for a woman I would also say a Bedale/thornproof/oversized is also acceptable) Who agrees? 😄

I just bought the Beaufort 40th anniversary and realized that it hast a polyester lining. Is it really that bad? I like the look and feel of the jacket

Yay, love your Barbour reviews! BTW at Barbour website, there’s actually a couple new things for the Ashby. The Black Classic that you reviewed and there is a Grey Classic Tartan Ashby! Interestingly for the Ashby line there are 2 Black jackets being offered. The one you reviewed and the other is that old Black with Red Tartan lining.

Just got my first Barbour, you helped with my decision. It’s a Made in England Bedale in Olive. Loads of compliments. Yes it also came with a pin. Went on pub tour around Soho London with a mate. Cool. Planning a Balfour in Sage next.

I tried Ashby size M and L. Not that big difference and when moving hands it feels a little bit not that moveable. So was thinking what's better to buy and what size. Beaufort classic or Bedale classic. My chest is 96cm, height 1.82m and 72kg. Could you please advise?

You’re the man, I stumbled on your channel yesterday. Great presentation and perspective.

I’m completely with you on the Ashby, nice jacket, but those in the know will always go for the classic designs 👌

Olaf, the “fake vents” are covered by the cloth tartan, not the plastic sleeve liner and so they do allow the jacket to vent but not as easily as the jackets with uncovered vents.

What size would I need I wear 36 in Beaufort?

[pattgsm]

Olaf said he has a hate/hate relationship with the Ashby.😂😂😂 I understand why. After 3 yrs and watching all the Barbour reviews on YouTube, I pulled the trigger. I went to my local Orvis, and tried on the Ashby, Classic Bedale, and Classic Beaufort. If you wear a 44 or 46 in suits I’d recommend that you avoid the Ashby. Despite the tartan lining composition difference, I got the Bedale in Sage (love the color), for comfort, functionality and non sport coat wear. I will eventually get the Classic Beaufort. I didn’t notice the if the Barbour pin was in the pockets from the jackets I tried on. In store did not offer the shipping / storage bag. I had them place an online order and it arrived w/ storage bag and the Barbour pin was in the right side bellow pocket.😅 Thank you Olaf for sharing your extensive knowledge on the brand. I even managed to stump the Orvis salespersons assisting me. Not a knock on them because they were extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful, pleasant and patient. They basically gave me the run of the store. Huge shout out to the Orvis staff at Yorktown Shopping Center in Lombard, IL closing its doors after 10 yrs of serving Chicago’s southwest suburbs.

A new Barbour video by olaf - yeeeah🎉!

Sad that they are not made in england

[elfingord]

Great video! One question about water resistance. You say Ashby is not as waterproof as Bedale because of the extra stitching. But is that even relevant in everyday life? Have you ever had a situation where you got wet with the Ashby jacket because of the seams? Thank you and please make more videos about Barbour, they are great!

Is there a difference between the color black and class black other than the lining? It seems like the black Ashby with red lining is darker than the black one in this video.

Love the channel. Got my first barbour jacket yesterday after watching a few of your videos.

I suggest investing in a mic. It'll help your audio quality a lot!

The bedale is best alternative in my opinion

[battlegnome.]

My favorite Barbour was the waxed bushman jacket… if you can find one, check it out!

[michaelnedsmar]

Now I know why Queen Elizabeth wore a Beaufort and not a Bedale,
She probably kept a spare 👑 in the rear pocket !

I had my new Beaufort delivered today, the rear pocket is massive !
To give those who don't know just how big the pocket is, I fitted not 1 or 2 but 16 rolls of toilet paper (bath paper) with ease in the pocket, which is the size of a backpack.
For practically the Beaufort has to be the best Barbour out there imo.
Long live Barbour 🇬🇧

The Beaufort and the Bedale are work jackets and are (or should be) looser fitting. The Ashby is a fashion jacket and not practical for say working on a farm. I believe the nylon inner sleeves in the Ashby are designed for ease of use when putting on & taking off whilst wearing a business suit. Even this is impractical due to nylon not being breatable. I wear Barbour jackets but I know they are not the most breathable option especially when hiking. (Dave - UK).

I've got a barbour brollen and a Royston in size large, but i had to get an Ashby in extra large, large was far too tight.6 foot 2 inches tall and 200 pounds. I got it from ebay with a hood for £70, hoods are £30 from barbour!!
