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 medium weight 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.

Barbour Cordford Casual Jacket – Navy
The Cordford comes from Barbour's Modern Heritage collection — the line where the archive gets reinterpreted rather than reissued. It's a casual jacket in the truest sense: not a wax jacket, not a quilt, but the layer you reach for when neither of those is the right call and a coat is too much.
In navy it does what navy outerwear always does — it goes with everything already in the wardrobe and never looks like it's trying. This is the jacket for the days between seasons, worn over a knit or a shirt, in town as easily as anywhere else.
On sizing: Barbour's casual jackets are generally cut with layering in mind. If you're planning to wear it over knitwear through autumn, and you're between sizes, take the larger. Call the shop if you want us to check the measurements against something you already own.
