I have a 33 year old Beaufort from 1989, with some wear to the lining and sleeve seams but that adds to the character. After a waxing it looks superb. Also have a rustic Bedale that's 2018 and still looks new despite a lot of wear, especially after waxing it at home. Excellent jackets, the ones made in England, anyway. 👌

Bought my Barbour Beaufort four years ago and wear it year around. It is very distinctive for the area that I reside in. I can wear it with a sweathirt, Harris Tweed sport coat or my dress suit which is what makes it so versatile and fun to wear.

I got my first Barbour coat earlier this year and I could not be happier. The quality far exceeded my hopes, looks amazing, fits amazing and the quality is sublime. Worth every penny and then some. I wish I bought one long ago to be honest - alas! But at least I know now.

I love my classic Beaufort. I live in Newcastle upon Tyne, which is very close to South Shields where the Beaufort is made. It’s made to exactly the same specification as it was when it was first made, years ago. I know someone who works in the Barbour factory and the workers are so proud of the jackets they make. Never throw away a classic Barbour jacket, send it to be repaired, it’s a badge of honour to have it repaired! A classic Barbour will be passed down generations

I have a 15 year old Barbour Border jacket with the extra hood and woollen inner with the tartan lining. Waxed every year without fail and it’s “fully waterproof” and warm when you need it. Old school and a classic, top class for all weather conditions

My Barbour Classic is the Moorland model that I bought in 1997. Repairs to the lining and sleeves were executed in North Carolina; fabrics were well-matched. The frayed cuffs were repaired with leather trim. The Moorland fabric is heavier than the Beaufort but the cut is identical.

I grew up in Sussex, in the south of England. My parents bought me a Barbour for my 18th birthday. That was over 40 years ago, and back then it was a country jacket - anyone wearing one in a city was a rural stray! I have worn mine in all conditions. Done up (only really comfortable once the temperature is below freezing), it has kept me dry in the most brutal conditions. While I lived in the UK, I waxed it every year, when I got it out of storage, as Autumn started to get wet and windy. That made a huge difference.

I am about to visit Sussex, so I got the jacket out to look over before packing. I am having to have it repaired (a small tear) for the first time. To be fair, I do look after clothes carefully, and now live in Singapore, so I wore it frequently only for the first 15 years.

I was looking for guidance on rewaxing, as it has been a few years since I have even unpacked the jacket, and came across your video. I enjoyed your perspective, and it's interesting to see how it stands up elsewhere.

For my 60th Birthday, I've just received my 2nd Barbour Border jacket from my wife, this time in Navy Blue, rather than the traditional Sage Green. My first, which is still being worn, I purchased in 1988, the same year as I met my wife !! Like myself, my original Barbour shows the ravages of time so it's going back to Barbour for two patches, a clean and a re-wax ... it's not done yet ...

I have four Beauforts in various stages of disrepair could not manage without them. Plus a tin of wax and hair dryer. The poacher pocket is very useful for shopping.

Thanks for the review from The Netherlands as we have rain, wind, cold 4 months out and love the Barbour line also Paul & Shark is a great brand.

I wore bedale on Canadian prairies 3 seasons for 4 years. Winter used a down midlayer. Its still mint condition. Strong cold winter storms and wind, minus 25c, no issues. Waxed twice.

I live in Georgia in the US and Barbour jackets are the perfect jacket for the South. Our winters are generally milder compared to Canada or the North but wet. A Barbour Beaufort is the absolute perfect jacket here. I have a Classic Beaufort, a Thornproof Beaufort that is 33 yrs old and a Thornproof Bedale that is brown. I think the Bedale looks the best but the Beaufort is the better all around jacket for everyday wear. I have a pile lining for the Classic Beaufort and the jacket and liner together are more than adequate for the coldest weather we will get (lows in the 20s). I have worn the Classic Beaufort as an overcoat over a coat and tie on a trip to NYC in November and it was perfect. A Barbour over a wool sweater is warm enough for all but the coldest weather we get.

I will say, repair costs from Barbour are pretty high. I recently sent my old Thornproof Beaufort in for a repair to a half dollar sized hole in the sleeve and I was sort of surprised at a cost of $60 for the repair only, they did not rewax the jacket. I will generally rewax my jackets myself every 3 or 4 years and send them back to Barbour for a professional rewaxing every 5 or 6 years. .

My new Beaufort 40th Anniversary in olive arrived today and I absolutely love it. I managed to get one of the last ones on sale in the UK in my size. I’m looking forward to letting it age along with myself !

I bought my Barbour second hand early in 1981. I’m still wearing it.

I love Barbour coats. In a similar vein, the belstaff tourmaster waxed cotton jackets serve a very similar purpose, but have a bit more of a fitted look which may suit younger people a little more.

I live in Montreal and I don’t think I saw more than 2 people wearing a Beaufort since I moved here. In my opinion, it’s what it defines you as a unique guy - ok let’s say immigrant from Europe - it’s pretty common French people ask me where I bought it, because they can’t find one here - or for a reasonable price (bought mine for less than 200 euros on Stuart’s London) Of course it won’t be as protective as an - made in China - Arc teryx jacket, but just because of the game pocket and the new anti plastic bags law, it is really cool and practical to wear it!

I have the naby blue and the olive jackets.
Im in wisconsin and its a great jacket for fall, winter and spring. Its the only coat i wear.
Its is beginning to show patina. Awsome jacket overall

I was aboard a flight from Columbia, SC, with my Bedale in my lap when a young law student was coming down the isle wearing a Bedale also. We both immediately recognized the jackets and by coincidence, he was assigned the seat right beside me. We instantly became friends and told stories about our Bedales. He was from South Carolina and I reside on an island in puget sound, Washington and his was only the second jacket like mine that I had ever seen. I told him that these jackets were only worn by gentlemen with class and he agreed.

I just received my first ever Barbour jacket, the classic Bedale. However, I noticed that there were only two royal crests shown on my tag instead of the usual three crests. So, I started panicking thinking maybe I purchased a counterfeit. After looking up online, Barbour removed Prince Philip’s crest after he passed away in April 2021. It turns out that products that carry royal warrants, such as Barbour, have two years to remove a royal member’s coat of arms when one passes away or relinquishes one’s royal title. 😮
I guess Barbour will have to remove the Queen’s crest after her recent death, and they will change Charle's title to “His Majesty the King”.
