Barbour Bedale Waxed Cotton Jacket vs Nike Chore Coat

Buy the Barbour Bedale if you want a jacket that handles wet, cold weather and gets better with age. Buy the Nike Chore Coat if you want a simple, roomy workwear layer you can machine wash and wear hard without fuss. The Bedale wins on weather protection, pocket layout and liner compatibility; the Nike wins on easy care, relaxed fit and everyday versatility. Owners of the Bedale praise its durability and repairability, while Nike reviewers call the chore coat comfortable and well built but note its oversized cut.

• Choose the Barbour Bedale if you face rain and cold, want a waxed cotton field jacket with a corduroy collar, bellows pockets and the option of a button-in liner.
• Choose the Nike Chore Coat if you want a relaxed canvas workwear layer that is machine washable and easy to throw on for work or weekends.
