- It's time to talk jackets yet again. My favorite piece of clothing. It's cold, it's winter, it's time to put on your favorite jacket, and many UK / English folks, James Bond included, swear by the brand Barbour. It's iconic, it's ubiquitous... is it worth it? My thoughts.

Some Barbour jackets are meant for layering, you wouldn't wear some of them in the UK with just a t-shirt under it. As such it's made roomier to accommodate a sweater/jumper underneath.
This is definitely true, some of the ones I've seen that are measured on the roomier side I've seen worn by people wearing a tweed jacket or a thick wool jumper underneath, so they're definitely intended for cold weather where the jacket itself isn't the primary warming part of the layering, but rather keeps the underneath warming layers dry.
I have a quilted waxed jacket and it runs a lot slimmer than the more traditional offerings, precisely because it's got a bit of insulation as part of its design.
@@G1NZOU tweed jackets or cashmere sweaters work perfectly.
I’ve inherited a jacket from my grandad who bought one in the nineties. It’s beautifully warn and I know that I’m going to be able to wear it forever because you can send it to them for repair.
Short answer - yes. I own the bedale wax jacket for 40 Fahrenheit and up. A quilted coat for below 40, and a vest for Fall. I wear the bedale and vest when I shoot sporting clays and use the pockets for my shells. The bedale is absolutely incredible in terms of weight, versatility, and comfort. Highly recommend. I am a 44 in a suit and wear a 40 in the bedale.
Hi Mark, nice reviews and collections. I own a barbour beacon sports and a classic bedale, they are my staples for fall. The x to ki/commander/beacon sports jacket has one of the weirdest sizing I've experienced (long arms, narrow shoulder and tight chest) so glad to see you can somehow make it work. I believe the covert jacket runs large because the current japanese fashion trend is to have baggy fit. I would love a detailed video on that covert jacket actually. It seems like an interesting jacket for spring/early fall and the material doesn't quite look like waxed cotton.
The Engineered Garments jacket is meant to be be oversized. It’s the purpose of that brand and cut. The Dept B isn’t the tokito version, that’s the original one used in Skyfall. Your Dept B is the re-issue.
Great video though!
Bought a Beaufort three years ago. Wear it with a suit, Harris tweed jacket, vest, sweater or just alone with a long sleeve shirt and jeans. A classic design which is quite noticeable when out and about.
My husband and I purchased Barbour jackets in the early 1980's while he was stationed in the Navy at Holy Loch Scotland. WONDERFUL, and we used the wax spray. One issue, we then had a long hair cat, who liked to sleep in the closet. One warm summer and we had skipped wearing the jackets for a year, SO MUCH FUR STUCK ON THE JACKET. We washed them by hosing them off, and... after 10 years we were "We kind of need simpler jackets with kids and cats" (later a dog). I still miss my wax one, but have a fabulous quilted one for Spring and Fall and it will never go out of fashion. (also check for sales after the holidays). But, unless you are REALLY into the outdoors and vintage feel, that wax is good to skip. Also if you are fishing and around water at all, the wax is terrific as the new tech stuff... especially in SEA WATER, will not work. Seriously, sea water will ruin your expensive Patagonia. And the wax does require upkeep, hose it down and spray new wax on...
Absolutely, love Barbour!
I have got 5 of them already, and was looking to get a Bedale too. You're right, their sizings are quite tricky to get it right firsthand.
May I know which size is that Bedale you are wearing? I have similar built like you.

I have two Barbour wax jackets, an Ashby and a grendle. The Grendle is a sort of hunting/military coat with padding for winter, and have worn both in extreme rain here in the UK and both dealt with it perfectly.
I buy Barbour because of the history of the brand and because I don’t wear clothes made from plastic. Just got my Game Parker. And have my Bedale for years. It’s now the perfect combination.
Just got a quilted jacket as a present. Had one in the past, long time ago so I’m glad I have another… the only small gripe I have is the jacket fits really well in the body but the sleeves….are just a touch longer than I would like
Thanks for this great video Mark, I have four Barbour jackets (3 waxed cotton, 1 quilted) they are great with classic styling and as you said they hold up very well over time. I recently sent my Northolt jacket out for re-waxing and to repair a tear in a sleeve (caught it on a nail in my garage) and it came back looking like a brand new jacket. So yes Barbour coats/jackets are not inexpensive but I agree with you that they are worth the price!
Yes they may be a little more expensive than other similar jackets but if cared for will last a lifetime. Barbour jackets are another brand such as Levi’s that are absolutely timeless classics
Had 2 Barbours. My first was a second hand one. Got lucky with it. My second was a new one and not cheap. They need to be maintained, waxed regularly to keep the finish and coat from looking tatty. If you look after them, they last for many, many years, provided you don’t gain too much weight
Hey Mark, love your videos! You might be able to zip your quilted jacket at least into the Bedale jacket. At least it works for some of the Barbour quilted vests. Cheers from Germany!
Sizing, look at the specific jacket, there are fits within sizes : tailored, relaxed, regular, etc .. I'm usually a 44/XL in Bedale, Beaufort & Trooper, but I'm a 2XL in a Lutz - as it's a tailored fit. So chest - inches or cm - adjust by fit (size up or down) tailored, relaxed or regular.
Great video, I’m really digging your content! What size is your Bedale? I’m so tempted to get one.
Hi Mark. To gage sizing on the jackets you reviewed, what is your height and chest size, as I’m usually a small also?
They're sized for layering. These are equestrian and hunting jackets originally. You're supposed to wear something like a sweater, quilted vest, or even a tweed jacket or something under it. The waxed jackets are intended to be worn as a shell.
Great video! Mark, I’m 5,10 180 pounds, athletic build. Would you recommend a medium or large in the Covert? Thanks!
Hey Mark...Awesome video. Barbour makes amazing jackets & they are so versatile. You can wear them with chinos, jeans, even suits. I have a few myself & they worth every penny. Great video Bro.
It’s pronounced Beedale
Excellent video. Curious, what size do you wear in the Bedale?
Barbour has different 'fits'. So slimmer jackets like the Ashby vs the looser traditional fit of the Bedale. The reason is the need for layering, usually you would wear a thick jumper etc underneath for farming. So sizing does change depending on their fit vs your preference but yes some navigating to do. Also you can continue to rewax the jackets I do it every two years and they should keep them for a very long time.
I have 3 Barbour quilted jackets I bought in 2007 and 2008, I still wear them , stitching are all intact . Barbour has the royal warrant , every member of the royal family wears them
during shooting / hunting . Barbour are timeless and tasteful , not “trendy nor fashionable . “
If you don’t mind me asking for weight and height for sizing purposes
What size is your lowerdale gilet ?
what happened to the jack spade x barbour hopper collab jacket that you had?
Hello yout bedale is not waxed ? IS it? Nice color,my bedale still brown
My step mum is Helen Barbour and her mum owns it so I guess that’s cool I don’t really care about it but Thanks for buying the jackets 😊
If true, dope.
I seriously love Barbour. I have been wearing my green Bedale for 3 years now. I also got a navy quilted vest and a green quilted summer jacket 2 years ago. And then recently I bought the navy wool Bedale and navy wool bomber in sale for both 50% off. Also, Barbour sweaters, knits and polo shirts are really great. The price is steep, but that's why I buy in the sale. Furthermore, if your looking for some casual t-shirts and hoodies then Barbour International is perfect.
How does your bedale fit?
What’s the exact model jacket you are wearing? When I search up what you called it in the video I can’t find the same one your wearing. Could you put a link to it?
I believe it is now called the Beacon, but it used to be called the Dept B
Hey! Thanks for the video :) what color is your Classic bedale? Cause i bought one Olive color and I think its too dark and not green like yours 😅…. Maybe a brand new waxed jacket is darker? Thanks a lot!
Yes you will always find a newly waxed jacket will appear darker. As the fabric wears for general use the fabric will lighten .
However bear in mind that as fabric looses wax it will gradually loose its ability to repel rain water . Then you will experience ‘ wetting out ‘ where the fabric soaks up the rain water .
great video, so well done. congrats!
3:19 can you tell me the name of that jacket im on their website right now looking for it. Thanks.
Bedale!
Love the channel. The perfect combo of men's lifestyle. Subscribed ✅
I have yet to try Barbour in spite of knowing the brand and their history. I own 7 Belstaff jackets/coats - 2 of them are Belstaff Trialmasters. I know Barbour makes a similar wax jacket.
Man I envy you! I have 3…But 7???? Keep those close to you!
What’s your height and weight? Trying to figure out my sizing
Why am I watching a video of a guy debating if my favorite jacket is worth it lmao
Im selling a sage version of that Barbour x engineered on ebay size small. Fits me perfectly and I wear a bedale c38
Great video. I think Bedale is pronounced Bee-dale. It’s a village in the Yorkshire Dales. Very beautiful place, I used to be a courier drive and it was on my route. Definitely worth a visit if you’re ever touring England.
It sure is. But American accents tend to get it wrong…Like ‘’BA bor’’ 😅
@@richmck007 It's got nothing to do with accents, it's a combination of ignorance and lack of respect. I'm English but I don't pronounce Tucson "Tuck-son" or Arkansas "Arr-kan-sass" or Nevada "Ne-var-dar" because I know how those places are pronounced by Americans and I respect that. I just find it astonishing that not only do so many Americans don't care to learn how Bedale is pronounced but even try and defend their mispronunciation. Imagine how the people of Bedale feel when they hear the name of their town butchered.
Great video I’m 5’6 what size do you recommend me for bedale , covert thanks
Probably the 34 or 36 in Bedale and xs in covert
Thanks for responses about the two jackets it’s was very helpful the tokito dept(b)you wore throughout the video it looks really good on you ,you mentioned size small can you tell me what is the length ,arm sleeve length ,chest thanks again
I've just bought a barbour jacket. I've got the powel quilted coat but thinking about buying a waxed jacket for worse weather.
How do you like Powel and what color did ya get? I've been keeping my eye on that particular one
I've been really liking it so far. It's definitely closer to a tailored coat than a baggy one. I usually get a 2Xl, but for that i went for a 3Xl, which I'm glad I did. I've had it for about 8 months and still like new and even thrown it in the wash a few times. It works in light drizzle but not good in heavy rain. It's a coat I can definitely recommend but if possible try it on first
If you can't I'd say order the next size up if you don't want it too tight
@SubaruWRC1996 appreciate the info! I'm probably going to order two sizes that I think will fit me well, and then return one. Can't decide on which color I want yet
surprised you don't have an Ashby
I Owned the Barbour Commander. And it looked great. But the wearability sucks. The polyester layer inside the jacket make it a real sweat machine. I sold it. I Also own the Corbridge(winter jacket) and the Bedale and Beaufort, i love those jackets.
I’ve ironically been in the midst of creating a video on the Bedale. My most worn jacket - I’ve had a couple. They are just so casually cool and functional. And the hand pockets at the ribs are the best thing I didn’t know I needed.
Hi Dominic I have a few Barbour jackets but I don’t have a Bedale, I would like to see your video when you post it. I am currently considering buying the heavier (8 ounce) Winter Bedale, looks like a nice jacket, any thoughts?
@@christopherlee5950 Just saw this! I'd actually recommend the OG Bedale - 6oz, I think? This jacket is really more of an all-arounder, rather than handling extreme cold by itself. The move is just to layer with technical gear underneath. I had a Cerium LT hoody under mine today (8* F) and worked great. Barbour also sells linings that you can zip into them. Cheers!
p.s. They run big!
Helpful, cheers
Every clothing company should provide a chart of measurements for every style. Shoulder width, arm length, pit to pit, waist, and collar to bottom. As a standard. So frustrating how so few do this. Some who do provide charts on measurements by labeled size will do this as a general rule and not provide garment style specific measurements. This is why buying lightly used is a good way to go, as you can ask a seller for those measurements.
What size do you wear in the Bedale please?
will you please state again the name of the blue jacket?
Barbour covert
The Dept B made in 🇧🇬! What?!
Which size you have in bedale !!!
I think I went 34, so I really sized down given I usually wear a 38.
Sizing is perfect if you know how to dress and understand what the vest is made for …
OK I tried 2 Barbour jackets on today at a department store and I couldn't get the zip up on either of them. My bad, but needless to say , I didn't buy......
Have you discussed this problem with your physician? Sounds like you may have issues with your hand coordination
I like this review of barbour.
Only jackets that better they look the older they are .
Yes that’s spot on especially when it’s been repaired and re patched many times
Need to be worn with Le Chameau boots ! ...LoL
As a Barbour lover you should know it's not pronounced the way you think. It's not "Bedale", it's actually "Beedale".
Stockwell Lamin gave me one one time!
Mr Koroma
The sizing is fine, you haven't grasped the cut of the "piece" you have is different!
If you treat your garments right they will fetch a good price if you decide to sell them online.
If you pay a lot, and treat them badly, it is a waste of money to spend on a jacket like this.
People do not know what they are investing in and sometimes have more money than sense…
They’re a solid coat, but these days cost a lot of money, for what is a country coat and without the liner, they’re not warm either.
So jealous of your Tokito, people would pay near £1,000 for a common sized, unworn one of those
Barbour vs Belstaff
I'm no expert on Barbour , but I owned a few , usually I pay up to £130 for a new or nearly new via eBay ,( most Barbour waxed jackets go for around £250 retail)
My latest is a Beaufort classic , brand new via £104 inc postage .
Once wet in heavy rain for an hour , that jacket will take around 12 hours dry.
I didn't want to spend another £100 on a spare so I bought a waxed Jacket for £12.00 of eBay with a new forest label.
This jacket is IDENICAL to a Barbour Bedale , other then the lining and the handwarmer pockets are not made of moleskin .
I cant comment on Belstaff but their are plenty of really nice , good quality waxed jackets out there that are every bit as good if you dont mind not having a checked lining
Not B'dale, old chap BEEdale.
It s not water proof - it s water resistant - needs to be re waxed … it s not a vest made for middle class . It s expensive - needs care - for instance - bedale is just a horse ridding jacket …
One of the negatives that you failed to mention is that here in the UK every man and his dog has a barbour jacket. This means no matter where you go you're going to bump into at least five people in the same restaurant wearing the exact same jacket.
So what ?
Don’t see that as a drawback
I live in the US so this will not be a problem
Unfortunately Barbour are not made as well as they used to be. The brand has branched out too much and lost focus for what people want.Waxed Jackets !!! Not perfume, dog collars, handbags etc
Pity you cant say what the name of he jacket is!!!!!!!
Barbour are way over hyped. I bought a classic green bees wax jacket that I always wanted when I was a kid. Their zipper are crazy hard to put on, the jacket itself is too rigid and not very comfortable, the only reason I put up with them is because I love the timeless looks. I found a similar Brooks Brother in dark blue and the fit and finish was far superior that I never looked back. I did try the Barbour once more but again the damn zipper had me so frustrated that I gave up and reach for the Brooks. I get that its the original but to me its not worth the hassle so its just there in the closet.
Put a bit of lube on the zip, graphite from a pencil, rub it in the beginning of the zip
Rub either a small amount of WD40 if you have it or grab some sewing machine oil. You don’t need much.
A good Barbour, especially a new one, will need a bit of breaking in. They’re always stiff to start with. Just wear it and get it wet. It’ll soon relax
I suspect you may have problems with the dexterity of your hands if you cannot manage a YKK zip !
