Filtered by:. Previous template Next. I've heavily leaning toward a Barbour Beaufort I've read the SF posts, so no need to link to those, but wanted to get a Dappered opinion if anyone has one.
Also, anyone want to chime in on why I should get a Bedale instead? Seems to be slightly shorter and a tad bit trimmer. All this keeping in mind that I'm relatively tall near 6'3 and not rail thin lbs, typically 36 waist and don't need it to be a slim fit per se. Tags: None. October 9, , PM. I like the non-classic Beaufort in navy and rustic. Comment Post Cancel. Definitely consider sizing down, especially if you can afford to do it length-wise.
I bought and returned a Barbour jacket earlier this spring, in my normal size, and it completely swamped me.
They're not joking around with that "classic fit. The appeal spans all classes; in England you can find them on everybody from working class country folk right up to the Royal Family, since the brand possesses a Royal Warrant.
Its raglan shoulder construction means that it fits effortlessly over structured jacket shoulders, but gives a touch of louche casual attitude to an outfit. The size of the collar is excellently proportioned, and the dark brown wide-wale corduroy proves both comfortable when turned up and versatile when playing with other colours. The Classic Beaufort model is offered only in olive, pictured above, while the regular Beaufort model is also offered in additional colours.
The main zip is a dual-blade zipper, something I love on a longer jacket, as it allows adjustment of the zip from the bottom side when sitting. There are pockets everywhere. Two front bellow pockets with snap fastenings, a zip-closure wallet pocket hidden behind the flap that covers the front main zip, a rear game pocket with openings on either side which extends across the entirety of the back, and two moleskin-lined hand warmers located halfway down the front of the jacket.
All zips are the same chunky brass seen on the main front zip, besides the small hidden wallet pocket. This means everything from the face down to the bottom of the jacket is protected in heavy weather. Sizing wise, the Beaufort is designed to sit comfortably over a jacket.
I went with my regular size, C The armholes are low and the sleeves on the modern ones are a decent length. I knew I would never end up wearing it if I left it that way, and had it slimmed by my alterationist. I could possibly have gotten away with sizing down to a C Lowndes Senior Member.

I highly recommend the Classic. Best casual coat I have purchased. JohnnyCrockett Senior Member. Joined Jun 18, Messages Reaction score 4. Really, either is good.
For that reason, I'd say go for the "Classic" in the sylkoil fabric, which is a bit browner and has a nice pattern for its liner. The sylkoil jackets, by contrast, look "broken-in" from the day you buy them not in that they're distressed, but just in that the fabric doesn't need a break in. The original is almost like raw jeans -- needs some break-in but then gets a great patina. Joined Dec 1, Messages Reaction score 3. I have both. Joined Aug 16, Messages Reaction score 9.
