Barbour Ashby Wax Jacket - Design Anatomy Series - Episode 4

[pattgsm]

I appreciate your insight and your extensive 1st hand experience w/ various Barbour jackets. As I’ve mentioned in prior reviews, you are arguably the most comprehensive reviewer of the brand on the internet. I’ve been on the fence trying to narrow which jacket would fit my lifestyle, (Midwest city, walking regardless of weather conditions short of torrential thunderstorms ). I’ve narrowed it down to either the Ashby or Bedale. I’m going to Orvis to fit check each w/ chunky jumper and denim jacket as optional will be primary layering in lieu of a packable puffer or liner. YouTuber Cee Are Dee did a great review titled “The Barbour Ashby Waxed Jacket. Fit, Features and Are They Worth”.

Took me an age to find this but it is without a doubt, the most helpful review of the Barbour Ashby, on the internet.

Well done and thank you.

I've been an outdoors man (fishing, hunting, climbing, cycling, walking, snowboarding, horse riding, etc.), all of my 55 years and would never recomend waxed cotton. There are so many better options, with modern innovation. They won't last as long as waxed cotton, which will last for generations. But you can expect a solid 10-20 years of superior fit and performance.

That said, waxed cotton looks cool, so if you are slim/regular build and want a jacket to take to dinner, the Ashby is the one.

But why do you need to wear a jacket when it’s warm weather ?

I just bought an Ashby, and I hate the Nylon sleeves too! I've heard that you can ask Barbour to change the lining in the sleeves from Nylon to cotton(not a free service of course), and I'll definitely need that.

BTW, I think the vent hole are actually very useful when I riding my bike, they allow winds blow through my body pretty well

Hi, thanks to the content you make. I’m a little bit confuse about how many versions are from the Ashby! I have seen different videos, and I see also a light version. Can you please tell me what version is this one?

[andreadicarlo]

Olaf how much do you weigh and are you tall?
I am 1.78 high and I weigh 70 kg I have narrow hips, I tried the size M, it seems a little big to me, unfortunately they did not have the S so I could not make the comparison, what do you think?

[OliverCasis]

Hi there, Could you tell me if the Barbour Waxed jacket loosens up with wear?

[MeToo-pytq]

Hello great videos and Barbour reviews! Do you know the difference if any between Sage Green and Olive colors? Or are these names used interchangeably? Thanks 🙏🏼!

What are your thoughts on the Bedale SL (Slim Line) part of the White Label collection.

[bisibela]

Ashby looks great on you! you will like it even better at 150# 😁. I have both a bedale and ashby, the fit of ashby feels great on my athletic frame.

2:06 does is also fit my Iphone xxl, you think?

[cuniknikolas]

Hello what size for height and weight 175cm or 78kg ? S Or M?

[martinwilliams]

I would have gotten the bedale had it not been for the fit and the comically large collar. The only things that bothers me about the ashby is the polyester/nylon sleeve lining and the less-than-decent stitching on the sleeve cuff, but overall it’s a good jacket.

[davidgregg]

Would u know if there’s much difference between the medium and large with the Ashby

[sheikhali]

Can you please suggest a website white I can buy the Barbour Classic Bedale Made in England version.

Opino lo mismo, es peor que bedale y peor que Beaufort. Tengo este modelo desde hace años. El interior de las mangas en nylon ha sido mala elección. Mi favorita en todo caso es el modelo New utility (mi primer Barbour)
