Barbour Classic Beaufort vs Bedale - Fall 2016 Review

Quick description of both jackets.

[OhshitPositive]

Just a little note for edumacation:

The pocket on the back of the Beaufort is a leakproof game bag meant for holding things like birds. This is also why the cuffs are different than the Bedale. The wool style would get pretty nasty and cold if you were picking up birds you'd just shot and got blood on you. You can just rinse these cuffs off and they'll be fine. But it'd be much more difficult with the Bedale.

The word is BEdale, not beDALE. Emphasis on the FIRST syllable. Bedale is a small town in Yorkshire, England. 4:01 It's called a poacher's pocket. Traditionally used for carrying small game, such as rabbits, and upland game birds. The front lower pockets are shaped as they are to hold shotgun shells.

Really enjoy your Barbour reviews man! Such a good resource for someone who has just discovered this brand

[alburns]

the bedale "flap" is there for horse riding, the Beauford jacket the rear pocket is your game pocket for rabbits pheasant, front pockets for spare cartridges, great videos

Great overview. I’m 6 feet tall, 185 lbs. what size of Beaufort should I get?

[dbrodian]

Is that the "Classic Beaufort" or the original "Beaufort"? Do you recommend one over the other? Thanks.

Hi, thank you for your video. I just bought a Classic Beaufort Barbour jacket in Olive color (silkoil) but comparing to your jackets and the ones I see on the web, it looks brown more than dark green.
The dark green is a colour that I can reach by using it or they just changed the color palette in the last models?
Thank you!

When working hard do you find that you sweat lots in Barbour wax jackets

Really good review. Thank you. Could you wear a lining in the bedale 36" or is it too small to carry a lining? (i.e. would you size up to a 38")? Thanks

[jamesmcmenemy]

Hi, I am 5"9 and would really like a nice fitted jacket, would you recommend I go for c36 or c38 in the classic beaufort? my chest size is usually 42 but after watching this I am really unsure.

Great review

If I see one that is made by the good subjects of the Queen's empire I'll buy one. I'm from USA and admire business that choose against Chinese slave labor. Happy New year to our friends across the pond.

Olaf can I please ask, why Americans give weight of one self when wanting to know the size & fit of a jacket?
Surely height & chest is all you need.

[DarioPensabene]

The 40 size fits me a little bit shaped than the 42. Which size do you recommend? How a Barbour should fit? Consider I should wear it over a suit. Thank you.

I love 5 mins away from South Shields. Barbour is huge around here.

The buttons on the bottom back are actually for when you sit in your car to have more space.

[Herr_Internet]

Thanks for this Video :)
I want to buy a bedale .. I'm a men and 185cm tall with 75kg. Do. you think the bedale would also match for me?
And can I wear the bedale in Winter Germany ? Or is this just a Fall Jackett? Thanks a lot and sorry for my Bad english Skills ;P

[flyguy]

Do you have a dark brown like what the bedale comes in? Would love to see it on video.

[MrJ]

Seeing how big of a fan you are of different Barbour jacket, I'm a tad surprised you didn't jump on the Barbour Heritage Beacon Sports Jacket hype after the Bond movie where Daniel Craig wore it! Have you ever considered buying one?

[melvin]

Where are the links to get the Beaufort for less than retail? Thanks.

[flyguy]

What color is your bedale? For a first barbour, what color would people recommend?
