Barbour OS Bedale Wax Jacket

In 1980, Barbour produced its first short, lightweight jacket, the Bedale design. Originally designed for equestrian sports, it has become popular throughout the United Kingdom, from the royal family to pop icons. CEO Margaret Barbour designed the Bedale jacket with practical equestrian details such as a shorter length, a comfortable fit, back vents, and the indispensable nylon water drainage channel on the inside, which protects the jacket from the steam emitted by the horses’ bodies. The Bedale is crafted from 6-ounce medium-weight waxed cotton with functional features such as a warm, zippered inner jacket and hood, and can be worn year-round. All the classic elements are present here, such as a two-way zipper with a brass pull tab, a windproof snap-button placket, two large bellows pockets, and two side pockets lined with moleskin, as well as the traditional corduroy collar with a concealed storm flap and snap buttons.
