“There’s nothing cooler than something that was made to be a tool, and then somehow became luxury Rolex, but you use it like it was meant to be used.” That’s putting a point on it.
This was so amusing I laughed and nearly choked on my cookie 🍪 The best Barbour jacket review ever. You made the jacket look even cooler with the different styles. I'm definitely getting one soon! Thanks.
Dominic this is the best Barbour Bedale review on the internet, very well put together (much like the jacket). The perfect combination of humour, information and style.
I am a simple man. I see a new Dominic video, I like the video beforehand then start watching. I know I'll love it. Keep the good work up mate. Sending love and good vibes all the way from Bangladesh! ❤️
I shoot sporting clays, and use the pockets for shotgun shells. That's why they're there! Bedale... fantastic jacket in many ways. Comfortable, looks great, functional, durable. I'm a 44 Slim in a suit/sport coat. I went with Size 40 in the Bedale.
Just bought my first Barbour jacket, a navy Bedale, a couple of days ago. I have blue eyes and my other clothing matches better with the blue tone, so I went with the navy version. It feels like such a solid piece of clothing and looks very good too. I spent the last days in Brussels were it was raining a lot and it did a great job at keeping me warm and dry.
Just bought the Bedale in Olive (great by the way). On sizing, I’m a 39” chest, 32” waist and 5ft 7” (yes I’m small), but the point is I got a C32 (40” chest) and it fits perfectly. Enough room for a shirt and mid jumper without feeling tight. The cut/fit are great and It’s no where near as big as people have said( FYI, bought in the UK)
It’s my favorite jacket of all time. Sometimes I want to look like Travis Bickle (or a non-violent 70’s NYC taxi driver), and other times I want to look like a British countryside shepherd. This is a very versatile jacket.
I have a Barbour Border that is nearly 35 years old, sage green, nineties light green tartan lining, patched to hell and back, STILL the coolest coat I've ever owned, and I'll hand it down to my children.
Was always on the fence about getting one but after seeing your video I decided to bite the bullet and finally buy it. Gotta say, you're on point. Thanks, I look forward to you influencing my future purchases.
Sorry I’m late folks. Was recovering from the emotional rollercoaster of a video. Recording out around town? Heartbreak. Dominic taking us back into the safety of his home? Wonderful. Great video again 👌
After having the Barbour Ogston in olive for a year by now I recently got the Bedale in Bark to differentiate the 2. With Ogston I can only wear a vest if I want to layer but the bedale I can wear a full sleeve sweater including the liner which I got for $50 off & I’ll just leave it in for warmth. The Ogston is my go to winter jacket for a while when it’s not snowing while the bedale might be a warmer winter or early spring jacket for where I live. Ever since I saw it during ‘the crown’ series I just fell in love with the aesthetic & happy to have 2 for now along with a scarf from them.
@@dominicscalise The Ogston is my first Barbour jacket so it’s has its place but the major complaint I had was the sleeve being polyester so it makes my arms sweat, I heard Barbour can change the sleeve lining to cotton, might give it a shot in the future, fits closer to the body, nice jacket when I pick it up before inflation hit.
I have probably seen this review 10 times, it’s that good 😅 It’s also one of the reasons I caved in and finally bought a Bedale jacket. Well, that turned out to be one of the best decisions as it’s probably my favorite jacket I’ve ever purchased. There’s just something undefinable about it that makes it a part of you if that makes sense. Also a big fan of the fit. Thank you for this review!
Ngl I thought this was going to be one of those cringy videos but I’m glad I stayed it was entertaining haha 😂 . glad to have a fellow Barbour appreciator
I only have one Barbour, a special edition wax cotton version of one of their quilt jackets, but I love it so much I want a second one in the more OG style like a Bedale, though the Beacon is also really tempting for its 007 Skyfall aesthetic. Love the ruggedness of them and the look that says style without looking like you're trying, looks great with wool pullovers and casual cotton shirts.
Agree with everything he said. Bought a Bedale today and I’m already forming an unhealthy attachment to it. I’m hoping it rains tomorrow so I can wear it walking the dogs
Hahaha😂 I've got a Bedale, can confirm everything you said. Laughed at your review. Did the youtube thing commented, liked and subscribed. There you go 😂
Already have a olive Ashby and olive Beacon(James bond ) do I need another olive Bedale? Every time I watch this review I feel like pulling the trigger 😀
They look great, but the big downside with waxed Barbour jackets is they breathe about as well as a garbage bag. I’ve sold all of mine because of it. Still love my old quilted one, 90s cut was so much better than the current.
They are great. The sunglasses are from Moscot. I've talked about them in the past two newsletters (link to the Substack in the video description). Check it out! Cool company
Hello Dominic. If I may suggest, IMO excellent jacket to add to a collection of iconic garments : Barbour x Baracuta Porton Wax jacket. I guess you probably have some Harrington style jacket/s, probably the original Baracuta G9. But this one is worth checking out. I bough it just yesterday and I am thrilled. If you see value in or like quality craftmanship plus versatility you would buy it even if it is not 100% your style or you have the Bedale :) (I have it too and considering selling it now) I am blown away by it and it suits me just better than Bedale and have similar use for it. Would love to hear you opinion, even more, similar review of Barbour x Baracuta Porton Wax jacket. Cheers!
It is even better once you really see one and put one on. It is not so much Vitsœ shelving, like the Bedale is. It is just iconic jacket. The tartan lining of this jacket is something special.
Utterly brilliant video. Thank you. I’m starting my Barbour journey and it’s a toss up between the Bedale or Ashby. I think you’ve sold me on the Bedale. Looks so good on you dude!! Cheers 🍻
After months of deciding which Barbour to get I settled on this. Only realised after I got it my olive colour isn’t same as this one but I still love it. Excellent video these reviews are so good Dominic!
Hey Dominic, I loved the review, and I've been eyeballing the Beaufort model for a good while now. I only have one concern that's stopping me from picking it: the color of the original sage and the color of the classic model, which only comes in olive. They look different in almost all the photos and videos, so I can never tell which one I prefer more. I'd pick the original sage, but, like in your video, it sometimes looks almost blue and a little dull, instead of that dark forest green I love. I live abroad where these jackets aren't available to see them in person, sadly. Oh, I almost forgot: I'm a short guy at 169cm/5'6", and I can't quite tell how long the jacket will be on me. I know that I want it to be a little longer than a normal jacket, and that I want it to cover my seat area, but not so long that it'll look like an overcoat. The Bedale looks great on you, but I like the idea of a slightly longer Beaufort for me. If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? Because if you're tall, and that's how long the Bedale is on you, I might have to reconsider, hahaha.
The Bedale is shorter than the Beaufort and lacks the game pocket. I went Bedale over the Beaufort because I liked the dryer wax on my Bedale over the wetter feel on the Beaufort and also it was a bit too long and heavier than the Bedale. Ashby is slimmer but longer than Bedale.
Cool video…need more research. Green? Which green? Olive or Sage? Bedale has two fabrics: both 6 oz waxed cotton ( no 8 oz version; that’s the Border style); Silkoil classic, is the Olive version; Thornproof is the Sage version; sizing? Runs big? What are your measurements and what size did you get? That would be more helpful. Again, well editing.
@@dominicscalise I don’t have your editing powers to make my own video. Yours is really good, but my bad for expecting information and not just entertainment. The Barbour sizing seems weird and the colour difference is subtle but it has to do with the type of cotton and wax combo (I didn’t know, but maybe you didn’t either). Cheers.
Heeelp i want so bad the bedale but can’t sort the sizing: -height 178cm -weight 80 cm -chest 107cm I was looking To buy it 2 hand but seems like every barbour has its Own mesures. So far I was thinking of a c42 or c44 size (The only jacket I cloud try on was the Ashby in L and it was perfect)
When you say green, you mean sage, right? I'm currently caught up between colours and can't seem to find a specific green mentioned in your video, but instead sage & olive?
Cheers! One more question: is your jacket sylkoil or thornproof? I much prefer the colour of yours in daylight and so I feel that the wax finish may influence the colour slightly @@dominicscalise
Ah yes! Finally it happend ! Great review as usual . I must say its not cheap but close to. 250 euros for that quality ... I just got a blue ashby last month . I’was between the blue and the green . The result : i took a blue ashby because i will take a green bedale one Day
Shirts are from Gitman Vintage. Great fabric and cuts, but it's the attention to detail on the pattern matching that gets me with them. Sweater is from J Crew. Not as keen on J Crew since Todd Snyder left, but this sweater is solid.
Am i the only one to buy a barber on line and keep on getting the wrong size ? 215 lb and a xl in all jackets . By bedale i just bought is massive . My Duke xxl was to tight. Barbour race parka xxl was to big ... Only a nylon xl summer jacket with the barbour name fits me ok.. I think next time i will pay full price and try on and buy from a shop.
