Bedale Wax Jacket Rustic

Designed in 1980, the Bedale Jacket stems from Barbour’s love for horse riding, showcasing a short and lightweight jacket that offers versatility as well as functionality. Dame Margaret Barbour designed the Bedale with equestrian practicalities in mind showcasing a shorter length, relaxed fit, rear vents and the essential Nylon inner ‘drip-strip’ that provided resistance to damp from horses seeping into the jacket. Made with mediumweight 6oz waxed cotton and fully interactive with optional zip-in thermal liners and hoods, the Bedale is a brilliant all-year-round jacket that can be worn for a multitude of different occasions. The classic elements of a Barbour jacket are all included, with a brass two-way ring-pull zip and studded ‘Stormfly’ front, two large bellows pockets and two moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets, and the traditional corduroy collar with studs for a hidden throat flap. Now a classic, the practicality and simple style of the Bedale remains popular with all ages. The popularity of the Bedale has inspired a slimmed down version for women the Beadnell, which is named after a small fishing village in Northumberland.
