About Barbour Men's Jackets

Barbour men’s jackets: guide to fit and function

Every Barbour men’s jacket is designed with a specific use in mind. Waxed cotton styles like the Beaufort offer a looser fit for layering and field use, while the Ashby provides a more tailored silhouette for town. Quilted designs are lightweight, making them easy to pack and wear in changeable weather. Waterproof shells feature technical membranes and sealed seams for sustained wet conditions.

When choosing a jacket, consider:

  • Fit: Classic, tailored, or relaxed cuts depending on activity.
  • Climate: Waxed for showers, quilted for mild cold, waterproof for heavy rain.
  • Longevity: Jackets can be re-waxed and repaired, often lasting decades.

Our range includes both heritage icons and modern interpretations, helping you find the right balance of practicality and style.

Barbour Mens Jackets FAQs

Barbour's classic waxed cotton jackets are water-resistant and perform well in light to moderate rain, especially if re-waxed regularly. For full waterproof protection in heavy rain, Barbour produces specialised designs such as the Winter Beaufort Parka and Trover Waterproof Jacket.

The right choice depends on use. The Beaufort is ideal for country wear with generous storage, the Bedale is a versatile everyday wax jacket, and the Ashby offers a slimmer fit for urban settings. Quilted jackets suit transitional months, while waterproof shells are best for persistent rain.

The Bedale is the shorter hip-length jacket, originally designed for riding, with a two-way zip and cord collar. The Beaufort is longer, sitting at mid-thigh, and features a rear game pocket and heavier-weight waxed cotton. Both share the same waxed cotton construction and Barbour tartan lining, but the Beaufort offers more coverage while the Bedale is better suited to everyday use.

Clean with a damp sponge and cold water, avoiding detergents. Re-wax every year or two to maintain water resistance and extend the jacket's life. For detailed instructions, see our step-by-step re-waxing guide and our complete cleaning guide.

With care and periodic re-waxing, a Barbour jacket can last for decades. Many customers wear the same jacket for 10–20 years, with repairs and rewaxing helping preserve both performance and appearance.
