The Barbour Classic Bedale is one of the most iconic jackets in British clothing history. First introduced in 1980 as part of Barbour's riding collection, the Bedale has since become a cornerstone of country style and a wardrobe staple for anyone who appreciates quality British outerwear.
Crafted from Barbour's mediumweight 6oz Sylkoil waxed cotton in olive, the Bedale offers dependable weatherproofing with a finish that develops character over years of wear. The shorter body length was originally designed for riding, sitting above the saddle to allow freedom of movement, but this practical cut has made it equally popular for everyday town and country wear.
The jacket features Barbour's signature two-way zip with a brass-studded storm fly front, providing a double barrier against wind and rain. The corduroy collar can be fastened with a throat strap in severe weather, while an Action Back panel allows unrestricted arm movement — a feature inherited from its equestrian origins.
Storage is generous: two large bellows pockets, two handwarmer pockets, an internal security pocket, and a moleskin-lined handwarmer. The Bedale is fully lined with Barbour's Classic Tartan cotton lining, and an internal zip allows the addition of a warm liner (such as the Barbour Quilted Zip-In Liner or Fleece) for winter warmth.
The Classic Bedale has a traditional, generous fit designed to accommodate layering. It pairs naturally with wellington boots and moleskin trousers for the countryside, or with jeans and Chelsea boots for a smart-casual town look. The olive colour is the most traditional and versatile option.
Care: Reproof annually with Barbour Thornproof Wax Dressing. Sponge clean with cold water only — never machine wash or dry clean.
