FAQs

What materials are used in Barbour men’s jackets?

Barbour jackets feature waxed cotton for durability and water resistance, often paired with cotton or polyester linings. Models such as the Bedale use tartan or quilted interiors, while the Sapper adds Gore-Tex for extra weather protection.

How do I care for my Barbour Bedale jacket?

Wipe the Bedale jacket with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using washing machines or dry cleaning. Re-wax every 12–18 months with Barbour’s Thornproof Wax, applying it evenly with a soft cloth to maintain its protective layer.

What is the difference between the Barbour Bedale and Ashby jackets?

The Bedale has a classic, relaxed fit with a corduroy collar and heavier wax, making it suitable for rural wear. In contrast, the Ashby offers a slimmer silhouette with subtle detailing that bridges outdoor ruggedness and urban versatility.

Are Barbour men’s jackets waterproof or water-resistant?

Barbour jackets are water-resistant thanks to their waxed cotton finish. They handle light rain well but are not fully waterproof; regular re-waxing boosts protection for prolonged wet conditions.

Which Barbour jacket is best suited for outdoor activities?

The Barbour Sapper excels outdoors with its windproof membrane, adjustable hood and four secure pockets. The International range also offers lightweight, weather-ready options for active pursuits.

What technical features distinguish Barbour men’s jackets?

Notable features include breathable Gore-Tex linings, Storm-Fit closures and double-stitched seams. Adjustable cuffs and hoods, as seen on the Beaufort, provide tailored protection against wind and rain.

Can I re-wax my Barbour jacket at home?

Yes, re-waxing at home is straightforward. Clean the jacket, then use Barbour’s wax tin (200ml typically covers most sizes). Apply the wax with a cloth or sponge, gently heat with a hairdryer to help it absorb, and let the jacket cure overnight.

Do Barbour men’s jackets offer a good fit for layering?

Yes, most Barbour jackets have a roomy fit that accommodates layers such as jumpers or fleeces. Check the sizing guide and consider opting for a size up if you plan on wearing thicker layers, especially with slimmer cuts like the Ashby.

What colours and styles are available in the Barbour range?

Barbour offers classics such as the olive Bedale, navy Beaufort and sage Ashby, alongside modern shades like black or rust. Styles range from traditional quilted designs to sleek, biker-inspired jackets.

Are Barbour men’s jackets suitable for both casual and smart-casual occasions?
