Offical Barbour Thread

I have a lightweight Sapper in XL. It was a disco'd model and I was happy to find one at the Orvis outlet for sub $200, especially since it was the exact model I wanted. In retrospect, a lg would have worked as well. I wear a 44 suit. Since the Sapper is a very casual jacket, it still works fine. The sleeves are a tad long but I roll them once so the corduroy is visible. In heavy rain, I unroll it.

I'm now in the market for a beaufort and I've been trying to decide between 44 or 42. Both seem to fit well but i didnt try with a SC. Obviously, the 42 is slimmer, which I like. Just curious, do folks typically size down with the Beaufort/ Bedale?

I did, but as mentioned above, I think it might be tougher to get a structured suit jacket/sportscoat to work underneath the one size down.

FYI, friday I tried on a Beaufort in my suit size, a 42, with a liner, a sweater, and a fleece jacket. It fit. I didn't try on a 40, but I suspect that If I weren't planning on wearing all that stuff at once, a 40 would have been just fine.

Thanks for the input guys.

I own a barbour international in size 34, and I am going to buy a bedale or beaufort online. are these similair in size to the international? Bristol in small is too large for me.

Does anyone know if Barbour makes their wool pea coats in England as well ?

Looking to get a barbour, can anyone recommend a style or place to perhaps find them at a discount (not second hand)

Try eBay or buy overseas.

Go for the 34. I am a 38 chest and bought the 36, this jacket is cut big. I was also the manager at Barbour by David Wood in Portland so I have some experience with the line.
Good Luck!

FYI jcrew has the beacon heritage sports jacket up for presale now. They actually have a size medium in stock, but the rest are slated to ship at the end of January.

They would...fml cant afford this after just buying two jackets = to the same value.

Thanks for posting this. I just tried snagging a medium one but it went sold out while I was checking out. It's now backordered to January like the others.

Does Orvis or the Barbour stores in NYC ever run sales on Beaufort, Bedale, etc? Thinking post-XMAS if it makes sense to wait...

I won't limit myself to the above two retailers - just looking for someone with legit inventory and good customer service... I have 2 Filson Weekenders - love them but I really love the look of the Bedale...
