Being their first short, lightweight jacket, Barbour created the Bedale in 1980, which was originally designed for riding. The popular Bedale is now widely favoured among many Britons, including royalty and pop stars.With equestrian practicalities in mind, it is shorter, has a tailored classic fit, rear vents and the thoughtful Nylon inner ‘drip-strip’ that prevents wetness from horses seeping into the jacket. However, no horse is required, as the Bedale is a brilliant all-year-round jacket made with mediumweight 6oz waxed cotton and can be interactive with optional zip-in liners and hood. It has Classic Barbour features, including brass two-way ring-pull zip and press-stud ‘Stormfly’ front, two large bellows pockets and two moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets as well as the traditional corduroy collar, with applied studs for use with a hidden throat flap. For a suitable hood, type MHO0004RU52 into the search bar.** Women are catered for too - see the Beadnell, a slimmed down women's version** Regular Fit:A timeless and adaptable fit.Sleek enough to look smart in the city or the country whilst still retaining plenty of room for comfort and ease of movement.Call us on 01268 293712 (Mon-Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 10am-4pm) if you require further sizing advice.
