RARE! Sz. 42 Barbour Bedale--old-school motorcycle style with FOUR front pockets! FREE CONUS SHIPPING! OFFERS WELCOME!
Will Ship To: Anywhere
This is a rare example of the old-style motorcycle-style Barbour Bedale which had four flapped pockets on the front, rather than the typical two lower ones only--or two lower pockets and two "handwarmer" slash pockets, as now.
The Bedale is the shorter Barbour jacket, being designed for equestrian activities--hence the side vents at the back which can be poppered closed if desired.
Please note that this is NOT one of the new Barbours, and so it is finished in traditional Thornproof dressing rather than the awful Sylkoil, and it does NOT have Barbour logos stitched all over the pockets. Moreover, as I mentioned before, this Barbour is a rare model, since barbour didn't produce that many Bedales with the four-pocket configuration.
As with all Thornproofed Barbours this has a heavy YKK zipper and a Barbour pull-ring so the zip can be done up when it's cold and you're wearing gloves. All the poppers are labeled "Barbour", there is underarm grommet ventilation, and the lining is Dress Gordon tartan. The front has two deep, flapped, bellows pockets--with ventilation underneath for drainage if needed--and two deep flapped chest pockets. It has a velcro-fastened interior pocket, and carries a nice complement of Royal Warrants. This Barbour was made in South Shields, England--not Bulgaria or Indonesia as many have been produced in the recent past. It has a fully functional throat latch, corduroy collar, and interior storm cuffs in the sleeves.
While the front waxing of this jacket is excellent, it does have some fading on the back and shoulders, and could do with a re-wax either this season or next. There is also a small snag hole on the front of the coat, as shown--this could easily and cheaply be repaired by Barbour, or, if you wish, I'll include a small patch of Barbour waxed cotton and some Barbour thread from my Barbour Repair Kit (not included!) so you can do this yourself, or else have your tailor do it. There is also some minor discoloration from age on the interior drip-strip, as shown.
Overall, then, this Barbour is in Very Good condition... and considering its rarity it's very well priced at just $89, or offer, boxed and shipped in CONUS!
