I bought the Ashby before I knew about or understood the problems with the polyester sleeve lining. Sweaty, sticky, and actually feels colder than the outside temps. So, if you’re like me, tack on an additional $100 to the jacket cost for sleeve lining replacement and maybe some shortening.

Thank you for the video. I personally got the Classic Beaufort. For me it's important that the jacket is made in England and I want to support the workers and the factory there. I also prefer the natural lining. Cheers

For functionality and comfort, The Beaufort has to be the wimner .
The poacher pocket is great for carrying a thermos flask. A hat, gloves, scarf, dog lead, tennis ball with lots of space left over .
Personally, i think Sylkiol isnt as warm or durable as the Thornproof finish .
The Asby looks better for the more stylish younger guys but feels more restrictive.

I tried on a Ashby and it wears tight but it’s modern. I can wear a medium but it’s tight a little… need to lose some weight. I like the look of it but the Beaufort and Bedale material is more waxed than the Ashby. The Bedale looks like a 90’s coat. Loose & room for layers. It has a short length and the arms are roomy. I tried on the size 40 in the Bedale but want to know how a size 38 would fit me. I have not found a Beaufort at my local Macy’s or Nordstrom, but I like the looks of the Beaufort. These are good investment because they are quality durable and never go out of style. I’m holding off on a Beaufort until I can try one on in person

Very helpful! I really like the look of the Ashby, but probably need the length and more generous cut of the Beaufort.

Main issue with ashby is the arm’s lining made of some kind of polyester fabric that will make you sweat your arms

Preferences are subjective. I have a regular Beaufort and a Classic Bedale. I enjoy these jackets, both are made in the UK and they both work very well for me. I often use the Beaufort's poacher pocket. If I were to get another Barbour Waxed Jacket, I would purchase a Beaufort Classic However since I generally only wear these jackets in the spring and the fall, these two jackets are enough for me. So, I do not have any need for another Barbour jacket.

Alot of corners are cut with the Ashby when it comes to the internal areas.. Its may have a tailored styling if that is what you are looking for, but essentially it is a Barbour on a budget.

I just got a Beaufort jacket. Not too crazy about the velcro on the inner sleeve other than for adjustability. Kind of scratches my wrist and does seem as highend as a nice and stretchy soft inner cuff.

that beaufort looks great on you. im a shorter guy at 5'9" so I ended up with a Bedale

Hi, I was not sure about buying a barbour jacket and after wachting your videos, I went for one.
I wanted to buy the beaufort model. So I looked for online because there are few Barbour shops where I live. I was looking for a winter jacket and I noticed the moorland on the website, which is a bit thicker than the beaufort. What do you think of this model? I bought it 2 weeks ago.
Now, I have discovered the Bedale winter model. I want them all...

Hello, i'm 1 metter 66 tall, 63 kilos. My shoulders are a little bit large.
I tried the ASHBY model this day. He fitted well but i'm wondering if the BEAUFORT model ( I didn't tried him ). Could be more versatile. I mean to wear every season with others clothes and jackets under him.
I'm afraid that de Ashby will a little tight with sometimes.
Being small as I am, I don't like wearing clothes who are too large or too tight. I like when it's perfect sizing.

Ashby has that polyester sleeve linings

[southkingable]

Does beaufort have enough space for a tweed sportsjacket underneath?

[stephantaeger]

Did your Beaufort loosen up over time?

[thewatchphilosopher]

I've also got both :D (the same Classic Beaufort, and the Ashby which I actually picked in Olive Green — the only difference with your combo). I think it's worth noting that because the Ashby runs slimmer, it's harder to wear with multiple layers unless you size up, whereas the Beaufort can easily accommodate with thick layers. Not an issue when wearing a t-shirt and a jumper, but the Ashby can be a bit snug with fit knitwear or an extra layer like an overshirt.

[eliasknapp]

What classic beaufort size would you recommend for me? Im 185cm and weight 78kg. Thank you

[toyotahilux]
