How does the Bedale differ from the Beaufort?

The Bedale is shorter in the body and cut more casually, while the Beaufort is longer and roomier. Both use waxed cotton and a corduroy collar.

It is water-resistant, not waterproof. Waxed cotton sheds light rain and wind, but heavy or prolonged rain will soak through.

Can I wear it in summer?

Not comfortably. Waxed cotton does not breathe well, so it suits cool and damp weather rather than warm days.

How do I care for the wax?

Sponge it clean with cold water and re-wax it when the finish dulls. Barbour can re-wax and repair it for you.

Does it come with a hood?

No. The collar is studded so you can attach a compatible Barbour hood separately.

It has a regular, boxy fit that is short in the body. Size up if you plan to layer a thick sweater underneath.
