- A video response to the question what is the difference between the Barbour Ashby/Bristol Lifestyle Wax Jackets and the Barbour Bedale/Beaufort Classic Wax Jackets
The Bristol and Ashby are the Lifestyle Collection versions of the Classic Collection Beaufort and Bedale jackets To understand the main differences between the jackets you have to understand the differences between the Lifestyle and Classic Wax Collection.
Lifestyle Jackets tend to be more expensive, slimmer cut, letter sized (…S, M , L…), practical features are sacrificed for stylistic features, they are seasonally sold (or sold out rather) and tend to be Made outside the UK.
Classic Collection Jackets tend to be cheaper , broader cut, numerically sized (…97cm/c38, 102cm/c40…), have more practical features, can be purchased anytime of the year and, for now, MADE IN ENGLAND. The Bristol and Ashby have a strong appeal to younger trendy buyers who tend to want a good looking jacket for urban living. The biggest practical features I miss on Ashby and Bristol jackets are the articulated sleeves that make the Bedale and Beaufort more comfortable to wear.
All four jackets are 6 ounce medium weight wax cotton, have two way zips and have about the same amount of pockets. Ashby is 30 to 31.5 inches, slimmer and longer cut than Bedale which is 28 to 32 inches. Ashby lacks the Sleeve Articulation, lacks true raglan sleeves because of the extra seam on top of the shoulder , lacks a storm cuff, and lacks true riding flaps. The Ashby’s rear vent flaps are mere decorations on the Ashby and quite silly to have on a jacket that is relatively long. The Bristol at 32.5 to 34 inches long was for me too impractical to purchase. To make it the slim and sexy modernized Beaufort, the Bristol lacks the big rear game pockets, lacks articulated sleeves, lacks a proper neck gaiter, lacks sleeve gaiters, and lacks true raglan sleeves. I also found the corduroy collar to be quite floppy and cheaply made compared to the Beaufort.
This is in no way saying the Ashby and Bristol are bad jackets over all. If you only want a cool jacket to wear for a year or two and high cost and low design-quality are no issue for you then these are your jackets. If you want practical features, high design-quality but don’t mind a broadly cut jacket that you will want to keep and wear for decades then the Bedale/Beauforts are for you.
The reason the Ashby feels less robust is that it is made of a different material. The Ashby is Sylkoil, the Bedale is waxed cotton. Although Sylkoil is also waxed cotton the unwaxed fabric has a much softer feel than the stiffer cotton used in the Bedale. This is down to the different finishing process, the Bedale is pressed and heated to make it more consistent and stiffer. This is actually a major difference between the two, they feel completely different.
Great comparison- one thing I think you missed on the collars is that Ashby has a finer almost “needle” cord versus the classic which has thicker “elephant” cord - in some contexts that makes the Ashby a better choice for a more refined look in office or business use.
holy damn this video is perfect. everything i needed to know with no fluff. thanks mate
I am 5'7" and bought a Classic Bedale recently, being inspired by one of your videos. I actually went for the Lutz, but C36 fits perfect on my chest (i have broad shoulders), and C34 was a bit constricted. With the thought of layering underneath during cold winters (I live in Glasgow), I bought the C36. Great review as always Olaf.
I’m also 5’7 and a slim guy I wear a suit jacket size 34. I want to get the Bedale or Beaufort and be able to layer a thin sweater, cardigan etc. underneath. Should I go for 34 or 36 would u say
@@tjs.5044 With a 42" chest, I can wear C36 with layering underneath but get a tight fit. If you are slim, C34 perhaps will be a better fit for you. The best option is to go to a store and try it yourself. Or, if you order online, order both and return one.
@@faisolmfc8890 Appreciate it
How much do you weight? Im also 5’7” and weight 155 pounds. Im wondering what size to purchase.
@@raulzavala7630 Same as you, 70kg / 11stone / 154lb.
These are great reviews. Very detailed and comprehensive. Just got an Ashby myself, and love my International.
I know this video is a bit old but I just wanted to let you know it really helped me out selecting the Bedale. I just got my jacket in this weekend and I'm really happy with it. All your clothing reviews are great. Thanks!
Thanks Christian! I appreciate it!
Perfect video. I went down the Barbour rabbit hole today after trying some jackets on at Macys and Orvis. Really liked the Ashby but didnt want to commit to $400+ on the spot without doing some research. Found out about the Beaufort/Bedale/Ashby synergy and the more I looked into it, the more my choice seemed to boil down to Bedale vs Ashby. Watched some other vids much less helpful until I stumbled across yours (I actually subscribed to you over for your vids on the Omega 3520.50 which I'm pleased to still spot in your vids). Your explaining your size and measurements was also very helpful too as I am similar build.
I just watched most of your Barbour videos. Just want to thank you for the content! All the info has helped me decide which jacket to go with for my first Barbour!
Really great video. I'm young, and was set on getting the Bristol, but at heart I'm more mature, and so now I really really like the Bedale. Thanks!
Great comparison. However, for us Brits, the pronunciation of 'Bidale' grates on the nerves somewhat. It's BEE-dale after a town in North Yorkshire. Also, the Ashby (which I have) is designed among other things, for horse riding, hence the shorter length, back vents and the polyamide dripstrip.
Ashby at 30 inch for the extra small to 32ish inches is quite longer cut than the BEE-dale which starts at 28 inches and goes to 32ish for the largest size.
Get over it.
Hello from the fkn US
Hey Barry , its Aluminum and tomato not toomoto or aalueemeenium. However you guys butcher it but it kind of grates on my nerves.
@@patrickcrady904 typical arrogant, naive, rude American behavior 🥱
A video perfectly suited to my needs. Thank you so much!
Great review. I recently went to Orvis to purchase a Bedale as my first Barbour but wound up purchasing an Ashby. I'm 6 ft tall, 185lbs with an athletic build and the Bedale (size 40) fit in shoulders but was huge in the body. I could have fit a basketball in there. The Ashby XL fit much better. It was also big in the body but nowhere near as big as the Bedale. Barbour is tailoring the jacket for an additional fee.
MT Matt... I’m a similar build 6.1 tall 195 pounds. Would a 42 size be too big?
@@aavo9508 I am 6`1, 185, I chose the XL
It's pronounced Beeedale , I live near Bedale , the Ashbury looks a lot smarter on you , a more tailored fit , where the Bedale is more a farm yakkers coat for the strong cold winds and rain ont moor , tending sheep and fixing fences . You do a great presentation there , and they both look good on you , cheers !
Great video! Really helped me decide to go with the classic!
Thanks Warner!
Thank for that review of what appears to be two very similar jackets. That was very helpful.
Thanks for this video. I am in the process of deciding between these two. The bedale looks like a more comfier fit (altough I am slim and Ashby would fit me just right) I prefer a jacket that's roomier so I can layer up. Also the looks are much more classic. Small differences, but in this video I get different feel between these two. So Bedale it is, now I have to find it in my size (32) which is not that easy.
Thanks for your comparison 🙏🏽 and Greetings from Germany
This is exactly what I was looking for, very informative. Thx
Olaf you do it great! Just bought a Beaufort Yesterday :-)
Does the Bedale have the TERRIBLE arm lining for the arms like the Ashby?! I have an Ashby and it’s practically unusable because the precipitation is crazy.
No it’s cotton arm lining
No the Bedale is very breathable! The Ashby is not the best for breathability or comfort when the temps warm up a bit.
@@olaf2046 totally
Great video. Very informative and helped me decide on the Bedale.
Wow this is incredibly helpful!! Incredibly smart things you pointed out... I think you sold me on the Bedale jacket :)
Great videos on the Barbour jackets Olaf! Really appreciate these to help my purchase. Looks like Bedale is the way to go!
That Bedale is sharp!
Really good video! Thanks for making it
Looking fly my dude! Great video. Just picked me up one too.
Great video mate! Really helpful and gave me alot of insight. Thankyou for your content bro
Barbour jackets last a lifetime Ashby or otherwise, just look after them 🇬🇧
Great comparison piece. The differences as you say are quite subtle so this video will be very useful to anyone interested in purchasing one of these jackets. I went for the Ashby because of the slimmer fit but found myself looking for something a little less urban as well. Rather than purchase a Bedale however i decided to go for the new Lands jacket instead. It offers a markedly different style but it still comes with all the benefits you come to expect from the Barbour range.
Great review. Just as an aside, pronunciation is Bee-dale, not Bed-ale. Named after the market town in North Yorkshire.
Just found your site and love to vlogs on the Barbour jackets. ( I own 3, all classics.) Keep up the good work.
As a Yorkshireman I don’t give a f@@@ how you pronounce the names. Great video mate and you have good taste.
Anyone flying into the UK and using Newcastle airport up in the North East of England will only be about 30 minutes from the Barbour Company situated near South Shields where they manufacture many of their coats and jackets. They have an on site shop and a large "seconds" area. Well worth a visit if you are up in the Newcastle Area. By the way, in the UK we pronounce Bedale as Beedale. No offence.
The Ashby is my favorite
I picked up a C38 Beaufort in the fall, and loved how big and warm it is. I wanted to get something slimmer and lighter for the warmer months. I really wanted a classic line one (i.e. Bedale), but after trying them on, they are just too similar to what I already have. So, I'm going for the Ashby. Oddly, I found that the S and XS in the Ashby are not that much different. If you try on the S and want it to fit just a tiny bit slimmer, try the XS. I could still fit a shirt and sweater on with plenty of room to move. I wish it were made in England like the classic line, but sometimes you just have to roll with what works. Thanks for the videos.
I have an Ashby in S but I think it's still too big. So I'm thinking about going for XS for my next Ashby . I hope it's not too small.
@@tonyklaharn Hey Tony, i am looking for ashby, 5,6.5 and 150 LB(trying to figure out sizing), do you mind sharing your height and weight, if its ok?
I have finaly baught my first barbour bedale olive color i'ts amazing ;) thx
Great video. Thanks for the information!
Above 6' height and being a slimmer person don't even try the classic series. Chest is very broad and if I sized down, the sleeves lenght was too short. I love Ashby all the way, I have Made in England version and would even say that Bedale has too thick material to use it as an overcoat etc.
Great video btw. !
Thanks Kamil! Yeah the Ashby and Bristol are great for tall people. That is why my taller wife loves the Ashby and I have a hard time wearing it.
Do the in-lined sleeves on the Ashby bother you at all? I tried it on at the store recently with a t-shirt underneath and the sleeves were very uncomfortable. Started getting really clamy and sweaty within seconds. No breathability.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m 6’1 and slim. I am just concerned about Ashby build quality.
Thank you very much !!!! So helpful !!!! Enjoy your jackets !
Hi Olaf
The classic range have always have a 10 inch chest tolerance.
Been like that for 25 + years.
It's a shame they have now in the more fashionable types gone to small ,med,large.
As cut quite tight fitting.
Great reviews you have done.
Thanks Roland!
the flaps are for when you are riding horses to give more movement
Good review mate.Just got myself an Ashby to go travelling.
great vid!! you cleared up a bunch of questions i've been having.
Hi Olaf
Good video. I have previously owned a bedale. Recently bought another from Barbour outlet store which was sold as a classic bedale. However there are no internal cuffs in the sleeves and it definitely feels lighter (previous one was thorn proof whereas this is sylkoil)
Nowhere inside the jacket does it say the style of jacket or where it is made. Have you come across a bedale with these characteristics before?
Just ordered the Bedale jacket. I hope I get the right size since had problems with that before (ordered a small EU size, which was quite spacy). Many places don't sell for extra small sizes besides in the UK. I would save some money if I didn't have to order from specific retailers :/
At 6'1, I sized down considerably in my Bedale, otherwise the chest was simply too big. However, the length of the jacket turned out looking fairly comically short, like cutting my butt in half almost. So now I'm stuck with a Bedale that fits my shoulders and chest, but looks too short.
That said, everything else about the Bedale simply strikes me as better than the Ashby. The Ashby is a fashion jacket, at least more so than the Bedale. Despite the short length of my Bedale, I still do not regret getting it over the Ashby. The functionality of the Bedale simply outweighs the perks of the Ashby's fit.
Did you try the Beaufort? That is a longer jacket that would not look short on you.
No, I did not! But I think that after this learning experience with the Bedale, it'll be my next purchase. Especially if it allows me to size down in the chest, whilst still maintaining a decent length on the sleeves and overall jacket length!
Jacket is longer, but the sleeves are still pretty short on the Beaufort. I’ll be getting an Ashby next for that reason.
Love this comparison! Which would be ideal to wear over a suit?
Great comparison video. Im a chest 41 and was wondering which size is best the 40 or 42 Im 5'10" Im wondering if the 42 will be a taller mans jacket. I was considering the Ashby but now Im going for the Bedale
This was really useful and love your presentation man. Helped me make my final decision. 👌
@@yakuza8152 I went for Bedale and I'm very happy with the decision. 👌👍
@@yakuza8152 sage for me. 😁
@@yakuza8152 I feel ya man. It's never an easy decision. Quality is quality though.
Thanks Olaf! Very useful!
great video ive been watching all your barbour videos and have the itch to buy the bedale.i have had the barbour international duke in sage for two years now which is excellent as its made with the heavier thornnproof cotton and has a quilted inside for warmth and retails for £199.the duke satisfied a desire at the time for a barbour jacket/belstaff jacket. i tried on the ashby small and beadle c38 in store and think ill get the beadale eventually in sage i just got to save some pennies. keep up your videos
Looks like the Bedale has shorter length arms? I tried an Ashby on and sleeves were long for me but body wise the fit was good
Hi! I've watched a number of your Barbour videos. They're very well done and very informative. I have a question if you don't mind. Are the collars on these two jackets the same? I mean are they the same thickness, width, and material? Thanks!
Very professional 👍
Hi there .. i have ashby size s and is ok..
now d like have a bedale.. which size suggest? Thanks 4 help
I would get a size C36 in the Bedale if you wear an Ashby size s
So a size M Ashby should be compared to a c38 bedale?
Can somebody tell me which size is the Ashby? OK, it's a S, but is it a C44/112 cm?
Hello sir, about sizing could you tell me how from ashby to bedale it ranges ? I am surprisingly XL in ashby and am 5.10 and 200lb and normally a L In any other type of jackets. Many tks for you help
I have a size s in barbour ashby and it fits me perfectly. What size should I buy in bedale c36 or c38?
Do you wear it with a blazer, just curious if the storm cuff would bother the blazer cuff? Thanks
No it is not noticeable and does not bother shirt cuffs or sweater cuffs!
Very helpful mate.
Very helpful thank you
does it fits big ?
Nice video
For a first Barbour, would recommend to go for an Ashby or a Bedale ?
Great review! Thanks 👍🏻
I’m size small I got a bedale size 36 but it doesn’t fit 😔 it’s looks so baggy on me what should I do ? I really want that jacket
Love your style mate from a true Londoner. Your welcome here any day mate. I think it’s a DISGRACE the jackets ain’t being made In England now 😡
Steph Kev whattttt no longer made in and around Newcastle?! 😮
Classic line is still made in England. At least the Beaufort and Bedale. Right?
so good comparison, applaud!
Thank you for your review: it is quite helpful!
One question: is the color of your Bedale "Sage"? On different websites, the Bedales sold appear to be darker. Did you notice any difference over the years in terms of production/quality?
Cheers,
Nick
Hi Nick. My Bedale was sold as the Sage color. It is an older jacket that lightened over the last decade. All the Barbour wax jackets tend to fade overtime even when re-waxed regularly. The production quality of the Barbour Bedale/Beaufort jackets have remained top because they are still mostly handmade in the same South Shields UK factory as they were 30 years ago. The newer style jackets made in Asia and Eastern Europe have a much lower quality. I have a comparison video showing this difference. Go Bedale or Beaufort and you will have a timeless jacket. I don't find this quality with the Ashby even though on its own the Ashby is a great jacket especially if you want a tailored slim fit.
how is the breath ability of the waxed cotton? Does the thickness of the material have a big difference on how it breathes?
Not gonna lie, I do prefer the fit of the Ashby and the Bristol, mainly because they have longer sleeves. However, the lack of made in England and that outer seem on the arms are also hard to ignore.
Nobody cares where your jacket was made and it does not have a bearing on quality. You know what else was made in England? Sausage made from pig blood, jellied eels and the Austin Allegro to name a few.
@@kitchentrout5867 First off, I never said anyone else should care about where my jacket was made. Only I should care and I do.
Secondly, many people care about where their products are made, there ate several reasons for this, but quality is one of them. Take these Barbour jackets for example; the ones made in England seem to be of better quality.
Hi Thanks for that superb video, is the bedale a wax or non wax jacket please ?
hi olaf! im looking to buy a bedale and i’m 5’5” around 63kg what size do you think would be best also do u have reviews on the japan sl version of the bedale?
So....the bedal is the best?
Yes better by a country mile
Just got myself the ogston, do you like that jacket?
great video Olaf!
thanks! Any videos of jackets you guys would like to see in the future I will make it happen.
What size is your bedale jacket??
fllaps are for horse riding as for the 2 zippers.. Had seeall bedale to ride and now 2 beaufort..the 2 zipper systems allow the horse riding.
Hey, I want to know the green bedales colour. Is it sage or olive?
Thanks Olaf your Chanel is so useful
Hi, would you please help solve my question? What's the difference between a "Westerby winter bedale" and a classic bedale? I saw the winter bedale on a online shop but could not see the difference from a classic bedale and find any details about this bedale. Thanks a lot.
The only details I could find was at the Country Attire webstore. It seems to be a mash up product creation "Country Attire X Barbour" jacket:
milled.com/country-attire-ltd/barbour-x-country-attire-40-off-92X8HqJm8lBHhpa3
Outside of that website the jacket does not seem to exist. I maybe a special order just for that store. However the images shows a slimmer fitted jacket with longer sleeves that does not have the Bedale style cuff gaiter and a longer torso like the Ashby Jackets. The color seems to be a darker olive than the Classic Bedale with a thinner corduroy collar and fabric. I does not have any tartan lining and is not made in the UK. Also the price seems to be much cheaper than a Classic Bedale. I would personal just buy the regular Classic Bedale instead of a mash up store brand Barbour jacket
@@olaf2046 Thanks a lot! yes i saw that jacket in country attire website :) i think i will buy a classic bedale. By the way, love your comparison video a lot!! i really hope i have seen your video before buying my first barbour jacket (Ashby) two years ago.. that's too small (XS) for me and only can wear with thin clothes inside.I wish my 2nd purchase of barbour would be fine this time (fingercross). thanks a again for your comment and video :)
Awsome style man
I doubt that Barbour would tolerate lower quality in production from Bulgaria, Vietnam, etc. The made in England label would be very appealing for the Queen Victoria set, but the rest of us poloi won't really care. If your Ashby's upper seams are letting in the rain, it's time to break out that tin of wax.
They both really suit you. BTW, is that a Speedy I see?
It is!
Country attire wont ship barbour prodocts outside of the EEA. Where else do you recommend to buh online?
Yeah I noticed that. Check out The End Clothing web store. They should still ship to the USA. Shipping is (or used to be) Free for first time members/buyers and around $12 with 5 day delivery to USA from the UK. Sadly between Brexit and the upcoming Trump Tariff wars I'm not sure what is going on now and what will happen regarding prices in the USA and availability for high priced goods primarily made in the UK.
Hey !
Do you think the bedale can be worn by a woman ? The sleeves won’t be to large ?
Thanks
Yeah the Bedale can be worn by a woman. The Bedale has shorter sleeves for the sizes when compared to a Beaufort and the Bedale is for lack of a better word, more shapely, than the boxier, rectangular shaped Beaufort.
0LAF2046 thank you for your answer !
Hey Olaf, could you give an opinion on the Bedale SL for the Japanese market?
Have you done a corbridge review?
yo bro: can you fit a denim jacket underneath the ashby model? thanks
Yeah you can if you are my size then get a medium. I’m 5 foot 8 inches tall 157 lbs.
@@olaf2046 thanks bro
Can anybody help me in my matter?
I do love the original scent/smell of the Barbour wax jackets. Since some years this autentic smell is gone and any new Barbour wax jacket in the sops smell completly neutral like any other fabric. I just bought a brand new Beaufort last week. Unfortunately it smells the same, like nothing. I am about to wax this jacket now, as it feels rather dry.
Any idea if there is a re-wax in the market which would return the former autentic Barbour wax scent? I think even the original new and current Barbour wax in the tin smells like nothing anymore.
Thanks for your help guys 😎
I would go on eBay and try to get an older edition version of the THORNPROOF WAX that came in the green can. I usually see them pop up from time to time. That is your best bet.
@@olaf2046
Thanks Olav! I think the new Barbour wax tin is kind of black now?
Thanks for distinguishing to me! All best from Austria
@@houseofwine7704 Yeah I know the original tins were bright green.
Hi Olaf! I really would appreciate your advice. I'm going to buy through a web page a Barbour Jacket, but I don't know what model I should choose, if the Bedale or the Ashby. I'm a short man too, 168 cm (about 5,5 feet I think) and 70 kg (154 lbs). What model and size would you recommend me to buy?
I had the opportunitie to try an Ashby Jacket (L size) recently and It was big for me although not too much, so my size would be S or M. The problem is that the Bedale is bigger than the Ashby, true?
Help me please, I have had keeping money for months to buy this, and I don't want to take a wrong decision, specially because I live in Spain, not in the UK 😥. I hope you read this comment!
Balianmacarny Supertramp al final te compraste la Bedale? En que talla?
Would you say the Bedale is kinda like a half size bigger then a Ashby being that the Bedale is a more relaxed fit ?
I just bought the Bidale in a 44r. That is my suit jacket size as well. The jacket is larger than a 44r suit jacket but i find it very comfortable and allows movement.
Hi, I just bought a sage Beaufort jacket on Orvis and it seems to be dark, is sage different from sage green or will my jacket turn more green over time?
The new Barbour Sage Green uses a different machine to apply the wax when the jacket is made so the wax is thicker, looks wetter, and as a result appears darker (almost black) in appearance. No worries in 3-5 years of regular seasonal wear the darkness of your sage green will fade and become a nice patina of green. Years ago I believe the wax was either applied with hand (or light machine aid) at the production of these jackets and the wax was not as heavy and dark. Keep in mind the jacket fabric under the wax is really sage green it is just the wax making the color look darker. Like when clothes get wet and look darker until they dry.
Thanks for your insightful review. Unfortunately I have now ordered the Ashby and are worried it is nowhere near as good as the Bedale on the waterproofing front. Also store recommends waxing ever year to get a guaranteed waterproofing I am going off the coat now, any thoughts please. This would be my first Barbour in Xl Many thanks.
I have gone for the Ashby. Happy with it. How you getting on with yours?
Should of got the bedale, polyester sleeve linings trap in all the body heat and it just gets hotter and hotter
@@kev9385 yeah I will get one for my second Barbour coat but to start with I'm happy with the Ashby for what I need, I also just purchased the fur liner which is bloody lovely. I wanted a lighter coat that was a little more durable as I have other winter coats. Thanks for the reply.
did you say you had the ashby in a medium as well? Can't seem to find that video
ua-cam.com/video/HnlVzxDlBcA/v-deo.html
Hi I ordered the Olive color Ashby in a size Medium but quickly returned it because it was too wide in the shoulders and the sleeves were long although the length was roughly the same as the Small. I've since gained about 10 lbs since working from home through covid2020 and would probably fit a Medium today. If you are in between a Small or Medium then get the medium. You will grow into it. The Ashby, because it has a nylon interior lining and lacks a raglan articulating shoulder and sleeve, is not as stretchable as the Bedale and Beaufort wax jackets which have fabric linings and raglan articulated sleeves. So overtime a Small Ashby will ALWAYS feels Small with little to no stretch in it. Hope that helps.
@@olaf2046 thanks so much for the detailed response!! Happy new year mate
They're not vents....they're designed to help feel more comfortable when horse riding and sitting in the saddle...
he's mentioned that in his older videos, so he's aware of it
hi. whats the difference between the classic bedale and the regular bedale?
josh FC only difference is color. Classic Bedale is a brownish olive green whilst the regular Bedale is a dark (spinach) sage green
@@olaf2046 thanks!
Hi, I'm trying to buy a Barbour Intl motorcycle style for bf. I'm at a loss for sizes. He ordinarily wears size M and is 6 feet tall. You seem very knowledgeable on this brand ♡ thank you.
hey!I have the Barbour polarquilt in a small and medium. I'm 5ft8 and normally wear UK small in most things. the small Barbour is good with just a tshirt but for layering with knitwear the medium is much better for me. u may need a large depending on what he will wear with it.
Large especially for motorcycle so it does not ride up with arm outstretched get the belted Polarquilt.
Do you know if the actual olive color is the same as the one on your video? Because on the internet it seems that the color is now much darker. Thanks
When these Sage Green wax jacket is brand new (as displayed on internet webpages) it will look dark green - almost black. As soon as you wear it for a couple of days it will fade to green after exposure to sunlight and the elements. The jacket in my video is 20 years old and had a couple of rewaxes so it is a nice "patina" green.
0LAF2046 thanks for your reply. So your jacket is sage green and not olive?
@@xavierhouzet9987 The "Classic" Bedale and Beaufort with the Classic Tartan lining is marked as OLIVE and will look dark brown (almost black) when brand new and fade to a greenish-olive brown after a year or so of wear. The "Active" Bedale and Beaufort with the Dress Gordon or Ancient Tartan lining is marked as SAGE GREEN and will look dark green (almost black) when brand new and fade to a nice patina green as seen in the jacket in this video. I have a few other Barbour Wax Jacket videos on my channel where you can see how the jackets look when new and how the fade into nice colors with age. The Navy and Black colors tend to look charcoal gray when faded.
Yeah my Bedale Jacket in this video is the Sage Green color with the Dress Gordon Tartan Lining. The no longer use the Dress Gordon Tartan and instead use the the Ancient Tartan under the Sage Green colors.
Hi @olaf, would you say a medium Ashby is the same as a c38 bedale??? Thanks
Yes. Exactly the same size and fit.
Thanks, I have a small Ashby but it was abit tight to layer with, plus it was leaking at the shoulder seams. I just got the bedale in c38, it’s good fit at shoulders a little roomy in the body but that’s the fit I suppose, I love it 👍👍
Hi Olaf.
I recently bought a Bedale and it is almost black. Does it lighten up over time?
Thanks
which color was it originally?
Yes
