Any opinions on these? Barena Toppa
EG Bedford
I like Barena jackets, but the wool/polyamide blend can be a little scratchy. Easier to wear with a collared shirt than with a tee, particularly if you're going to stand the collar up (which is how they're meant to be worn).

Thanks gents.

I am looking for a more relaxed jacket, and I guess both would fit the bill. My understanding also is that both would be on the shorter side, right? I am 6ft, usually a large/50.
Notwithit, I do not think I would really mind the texture, as long as the sleeves are lined, and I think they probably are.

yeah, the only problem with the bedford for me is it's a little on the short side (i'm 5'11" and took a medium). i think you should definitely go for the large.

Yes, sleeves are lined, and it's on the shorter side. The two-button jackets are shorter still. You'd probably want to stick with a 50; everything I've tried on from Barena fits in a 48.
