The BARBOUR JACKET! The Best Waxed Jacket! Now I own one, what a little lovely thing to have.
Ah yes, the Barbour jacket, quite possibly the best waxed jacket to ever exist. Some may even say the best fall jacket to have. Or maybe even the best rain jacket to have? When buying one you'll be faced with a TON of heavy hitting questions, how waterproof is a waxed cotton Barbour? What is the difference between sylkoil and thornproof wax? Should I get the Bedale? The Ashby? The Beaufort? Should I get the Barbour hood? How should it fit? What is a tartan lining? How do I re-wax a Barbour jacket? Why are they so expensive?! WELL I go over most of those things and eventually I'll be going over re-waxing a Barbour jacket...provided I wear this one down quite a bit first.

Great review. The Barbour factory is close to where I grew up (where my Parents still live) so I've worn them my entire life - I still have a beautiful 12 yr old chocolate-colored Bedale going strong after several re-waxes. They have bags of character new and old, enjoy!

@danielpowers2413 Год назад

Just picked up a Barbour Corbridge jacket in Fort William, Scotland. Kept me warm and dry in the October weather through Glencoe and and on the Isle of Skye, Inverness, and back to Edinburgh. Over there, Barbour isn’t as much a preppy brand as it is a practical brand if you have the coin. Brushed the cuff on barbed wire trying to get a closer look at some Highland cows, and the jacket didn’t tear or even show damage. Worth every pence.

@laurentdevaux5617 Год назад

You'll surely love it, though in my opinion a Moorland would be a better choice. And if you allow me to give you an advice, if you can, buy a vintage jacket. I have two Bedales, one made 30 years ago and a new SMU one. And even if the new one is well made and good looking, I still think the old, made in England one, is better. Let alone the patina (and sometimes the musty odor), which is part of the Barbour charm !

Finally found a place locally that carries Barbour. Love the quality, but sadly they were all too tight about my shoulders (tried 6 models, all had this issue for me). Wish they made long sizes. I am not a hat or umbrella guy, and I didn't care for any of their hood options either. I constantly use my hood so I had to pass. I ended up with a Fjallraven, also waxed, and about half the price. They just fit my frame better and the hoods are much better. Some of the details I still prefer on the Barbour, but the Fjallraven is a big upgrade over my previous jackets. Just left this comment to help any broad shouldered tall guys out there that might not fit in a Barbour. Cheers!

@sh-hg4eg 2 года назад

Odd. The heritage lines are very roomy and have always had an extra tolerance of 10 inches or so on the chest for layering. They also have many long coats.

@dexterne 2 года назад

@@sh-hg4eg Don't know what to tell you, they just didn't fit me. Mind you, I'm 6'3 and my shoulder measurement is broader than most, so the issue isn't unique to Barbour for me. I could have tried the bespoke route, I think they will do a custom order to measure for a fee, but I wasn't in the mood to wait, and as I said the hood options just didn't appeal to me. I went down the block to Fjallraven and their cut just fit me. I have Swedish heritage, so perhaps being a Swedish brand, they were just designed for people that have similar proportions to me. To each their own!

When people say that waxed cotton doesn't work in downpours then they mean standing in the fucking rain like a complete idiot for several minutes. You would normally not even do that in synthetic rain gear. If you stand under anything, even bushes, it will hold up just fine. You trade water proof against water repellent for additional durability and resistance to fire. Horses for courses.

@dougster701 2 года назад

Great video! I also bought a Bedale on the larger side (a size 38 true to my chest size) so that I can wear it for years and years. A tip I’d give to make the jacket warmer is to get a zip in gilet vest liner. Barbour sell their own however I didn’t find theirs very warm so after some trial and error I found a puffy gilet vest made from down. If you live in the UK then somewhere like TK max is a good place to find zip in liners to fit the jacket. I’m lucky enough to live within an hour of the barbour factory so go to the outlet store quite often. My girlfriend has got brand new jackets from there for £50 ($70). Lovely jackets that will last for years, perfect for the UK where you never know when it will rain

@exee1 11 месяцев назад

Spot on regarding the puffyness of the Sylkoil fabric. Also after you rewax it, it just doesn't come back to the even matt finish as before, but t does add character due to the unevenness of the finish (dark/light). I would skip the vest lining and go with some other pieces of clothing. The contrast makes it more stylish. The Ashby is just as well constructed IMO as the Bedale. As noted elsewhere, be careful of used Barbour wax jackets.... due to the stink. These jackets can never be washed, hence the stink. I think a cool experiment would be to use Nikwax products to WASH and re-proof, they have formulations especially for wax jackets but does not use wax as reproofing agent. I use a product from England called Gold something, it's a wax but can be applied without having to heat it up. I also have a Bedale SL camo, fits more like Ashby but has the zip back coat tail like the Bedale, the camo is of a hunter/dog/duck, very unique, never seen another in real life. Another note, if you are to buy a hood, try to buy it at the same time, preferably in person. My hood and jacket bought at different times are of different shades of olive.

@laurentdevaux5617 Год назад

Really interesting thanks ! Though the real Barbour fans like me won't learn anything... The Bedale is a good jacket, but if you can, try to find an old one, made in England, they always will be better than the recent ones. I have two Bedales, one which is nearly 30 years old and a recent one, and even if the new one is good, it will never be as good as the old one, and I'm pretty sure it won't last so long, let alone a 30 years patina, which is also part of the charm of the Barbour jackets. It's biggest flaw is that it's too short to be worn above a costume jacket, and it also lacks the so useful breast wallet pocket many other Barbour have. Anyway, the best Barbour jackets ever made are, in my opinion, the Moorland (old ones from the 80-90's or even older, of course). Longer than the Bedale but shorter than the Northumbria, it's the best length and thickness, the Beaufort being too thin for me. That's my favorite, the one I wear the most, along with the mythical Solway Zipper, maybe the most beautiful of all Barbour waxed jackets. That's one I'm proud to wear for it's unique look (belted, of course !) even if it's far from being as practical as the Moorland...

@jonstern7511 2 года назад

Nice review. I own 2 Barbours. Not Ashby or Bedale (there are many different models in the UK) but can pass on my experiences. I've never had a problem with water leakage. Even when due a new wax. I've rewaxed one myself. Its really easy (and I'm no expert at such things) but remember to use a hairdryer at the end to help distribute the wax smoothly (plenty of online guides to this). Are they worth the money? I'd say yes (they perform well, look good and compare favourably in price to Filson say). Should you expect perfection or a jacket for life? From my experience, no! Workmanship can vary and one of mine had minor faults (like loose stitching) become apparent quite quickly (which I tolerated as I hadn't paid anywhere near full price). One of mine has gathered cuffs and where they gather the material folds or creases a little and is prone to pin holes that then become bigger holes. Other wear is definitely possible and at some stage you will likely need repairs which depending on how many may be economical or else it may be best to simply buy a new one. I reckon the looser, more shapeless, less cuff gathered or shaped models such as the one in your video have the best chance of lasting. Grumbles? I wish they (and Filson too) would add a second inside chest pocket (these days we all carry phones and likely a wallet too). And I agree a hood should be included on all models. Overall? Worth the money but don't buy into the hype about it lasting for ever (it likely won't, unless you end up replacing/patching virtually all of it, in which case it hasn't really lasted)!

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)

It's pronounced "BEE-dale". Not "be-DALE". It's named after a town in North Yorkshire, UK. Calling all people from USA!

Love my Barbour international from eBay. I had to spray down in vodka, hang outside and rewax to get the funky smell down. I just wear it fishing and when I want to look tough

Barbour International is pretty DOPE

My Beaufort turned 25 this year , and I'll add another thing to note : as well as the patina that develops over time , there will be a characteristic Barbour smell. It's normal , even with perfect upkeep , so don't be alarmed

@pc Can you elaborate on how you did it?

@pc interesting. Thanks for the tip.

In the late 1990s I had a olive green HENRY COTTONS interpretation of the Barbour Bedale and it was AMAZING! HENRY COTTONS was an Italian company and managed to combine British rugged utilitarian with Italian materials and details. Too bad the company is no more.

My Barbour 'Northumbria,' bought for a mere £5 sterling at a local carboot sale, had some of the royal warranty label cut out... WHY?

Nice video Cant really go wrong with a barbour,once had one,you would not be without. Sadly some of the newer models are no longer made in uk,sizing is rubbish to be fair,need to stick with the classic ones as sized by chest,eg 40 ,42 ,46. They have a chest tolerance of 8 to 10 inches to allow for different seasons .Newer models are slim fitting and not the same. Ive worn them for last 45 years ,some are almost that old and still in great cond. The motorcycle one being one of the favourites.

Nice! I’ve wavered for years on a Barbour. I almost bought a used Beadale (which was still pretty $$$) but the thing felt too cold with just a t-shirt on and smelled weird (apparently that’s a thing?) I also don’t like that you have to buy the hood. Come on! You’re shelling out crazy money and they can’t hook you up with a hood?! I would have tried to trade that Barbour button for one. Aside from that, it’s a pretty timeless piece that will hold its value.

@TheIronSnail 2 года назад

I will trade you this Barbour button for yee hood! Also yeah there is 0 insulation and i actually heard thornproof has the smell! This Sylkoil one doesn’t seem to smell like anything

Buy a John partridge from Amazon. $100

@sharonclaridge 2 года назад

Typically in the UK. a Barbour is worn with a tweed cap or waxed wool hat which is why the hood is always an optional extra - not many people over here would use the hood on a Barbour as it would block vision/sound when working. An alternative brand, John Partridge, don't even have the studs to add a hood but that might be an English thing :)

Barbour Durham has a built in hood, got mine off eBay, ideal multi activity jacket 😀

@Torment92121 8 месяцев назад

You can buy a small can of wax from Barbour and rewax it yourself with a sponge. I do that with my Sapper yearly.

@MattM-ce3qe 9 месяцев назад

Rather than buying a hood, stick a tweed flat cap in your pocket. That’s how I do it in England and I wear mine 8 months a year, and we get a lot of rain.

Is this jacket olive or sage green?

@bernardocardoso1356 Год назад

I think I'll go for the Bedale, too. I started lifting again and expect my upper body to grow somewhat... and my stomach over the years. So I'll need the boxier cut of the Bedale, rather than the slim silhouette of the Ashby. The Beaufort isn't practical for me, as I don't hunt pheasants.

@christopherh2336 2 года назад

I have an Ashby and a Sapper . Love them both .

@TheIronSnail 2 года назад

Those are both great!

Wearing wool anything under these is a win. Even if you are stuck in the worst of downpours and you have failed to keep up with good maintenance (or simply went looks vs efficiency) then that wool is going to be the difference between being wet, miserable and cold, or wet, miserable and warm.

@Master-tu4kd Год назад

You didn't mention the colour of your jacket and since you shot this on a sunny day that will give a good indication of how the colour (whether olive or sage) comes out in bright light. So if you could let us know, that would be great. Thanks

I inherited my granddads Barbour. I've never had it re waxed but I live in Australia so not much rain and I don't get cuts on my arms when I'm volunteering at my riding school, that was years ago though. Now I'm a trucker amd yard worker at a retaining wall making place and I will definitely be getting it out and getting it re waxed for those rare occasions where it rains and for armor against sharp panels, metal and the cold winter sun. Cheers for a dope video
