Another difference I forgot to mention is in materials the jackets are made of. Classic Beaufort: both outer and inner made from cotton. Original Beaufort: outer is 100% cotton and inner is 82% cotton and 22% polyester.

Another variation in the Bedale are the ribbed in cuffs and the studs on the collar to attach a hood .
My jacket came without both .When i asked barbour why this is .
I was told some jackets are meant for retail, and others are sold primarily on their website .

Classic are the ones to go for, with chest sizes in inches.
Not s, m, l,
Proper brass two way zips and have chest tolerance between 8 and 10 inches to allow for layering for different seasons, even in cold weather here in uk, most I'll wear is tee shirt, sweatshirt and normally warm enough.
Bedale is of lighter material, Beaufort is next weight up, bit more robust for outdoor sports.
My go to for outside in the fields is a discontinued Solway that was around in the 60s.A heavyweight 80oz material, slightly longer with a belt .
Mostly used for fishing .

The big difference is that the classic is made with sylkoil wax.

The Game pocket is great for carrying a scarf, hat, etc....

Thanks for posting. I came across your post when I was reviewing the re-waxing procedures for my Barbour Jackets. I am surprised that you don't use the Beaufort's poacher pocket. I find that pocket often comes in very handy and I've often put items into that pocket and had both hands free. In fact that pocket is the reason why my Beaufort more often than my Bedale. In hindsight, I fully concur with your decision of having two Beaufort Jackets, however, I thought it was better to have two different jackets. So, I bought a Barbour Beaufort with the original Tartan, and the Classic Bedale. Many people like one of my neighbors, who wears a Bedale, are unaware of the differences between the Beaufort and the Bedale.

The same happens with bedale and classic bedale models . I have the new and the old one in the same size . And I totally agree with you

What color is your favorite color navy vs olive, is it navy look less of a home less don’t you think?

[olivierbaudrand]

Très bonne et très claires explications, merci

It’s not clear from this video. Are both Classic and Original Beaufort jackets available as new now or is the Classic only available and the Original a legacy one and only available on the secondary market?

Thank you for the review. I recently saw a SMU Classic Beaufort. Any idea in the differences with this one?

[ronalda.heinrich]

I bought my Beaufort Classic when I was at Unversitiy, Laptop and a A4 Notepad were always in the big backpocket, so no need for additional bag ;-)

I want to buy the waxed Barbour but heard they have a smell which can be embarrassing when sitting next to people.

Hi very nice video :) Can i ask how tall you are and which size you got? I heard you have a 36 UK Size?

[damianocolla]

how do i recognise the two different type in the stores to be absolutely sure? there is some kind of label somewhere in the Jacket?

[MikeJones-bfoc]

Very helpful comparison; however, you did not mention the well known concern so many express: unsatisfactory sleeve length.

[BudgieFan]

What about the Border? Your thoughts please. Thankyou

[williamarmstrong]

Shorter on the body or also on the sleeve?

[smiler]

Only the classic Beaufort and classic Bedale jackets are made in England - the regular are made in Indonesia.

C 36 is the chest measurement in inches.
