“There’s nothing cooler than something that was made to be a tool, and then somehow became luxury Rolex, but you use it like it was meant to be used.” That’s putting a point on it.

Dominic this is the best Barbour Bedale review on the internet, very well put together (much like the jacket). The perfect combination of humour, information and style.

[@dominicscalise]

Gosh thank you so much! More to come!

[@HansPeter-ps2ij]

Hi Dominic, which size did you choose for your Barbour? 🤔

[@Mugtree]

Agree with the comment this is the best review. Absolute love the humour 👏. I currently have an Ashby but looking at this now as in the winter I’d like to use it as a shell with my down jacket on underneath. So thank you for this. I will be popping to the shops tomorrow to try one on. Thank you again 👍

[@branchclan6112]

I shoot sporting clays, and use the pockets for shotgun shells. That's why they're there! Bedale... fantastic jacket in many ways. Comfortable, looks great, functional, durable. I'm a 44 Slim in a suit/sport coat. I went with Size 40 in the Bedale.

[@canadafree2087]

I appreciate the comedy on a seriously nice jacket.

[@dominicscalise]

Oh maaaaaan! Thank you so much! Really means a lot. Vibes received and appreciated. Cheers!

[@paulrogers5961]

Just bought the Bedale in Olive (great by the way). On sizing, I’m a 39” chest, 32” waist and 5ft 7” (yes I’m small), but the point is I got a C32 (40” chest) and it fits perfectly. Enough room for a shirt and mid jumper without feeling tight. The cut/fit are great and It’s no where near as big as people have said( FYI, bought in the UK)

[@movingon.............6850]

You bought size C32 (40chest) ??? I don’t understand, C32 is like 3xs . 40 chest is medium and falls on C38 or C40. Can you enlighten me about this please.

[@QV1010]

After having the Barbour Ogston in olive for a year by now I recently got the Bedale in Bark to differentiate the 2. With Ogston I can only wear a vest if I want to layer but the bedale I can wear a full sleeve sweater including the liner which I got for $50 off & I’ll just leave it in for warmth. The Ogston is my go to winter jacket for a while when it’s not snowing while the bedale might be a warmer winter or early spring jacket for where I live. Ever since I saw it during ‘the crown’ series I just fell in love with the aesthetic & happy to have 2 for now along with a scarf from them.

[@dominicscalise]

I'm not familiar with the Ogston - I'll give that a look!

[@QV1010]

@@dominicscalise The Ogston is my first Barbour jacket so it’s has its place but the major complaint I had was the sleeve being polyester so it makes my arms sweat, I heard Barbour can change the sleeve lining to cotton, might give it a shot in the future, fits closer to the body, nice jacket when I pick it up before inflation hit.

[@ModernRemade]

Phew. So relieved to know I’m not the only one carrying around bags of water in my pockets. Man, this video had me cracking up. So good!

Does the jacket fade to your colour? Just got same jacket its dark

[@dominicscalise]

It does but darkens again once rewaxed

[@markt4416]

Great review and delivery. Edutainment. The analogies and description are spot on ("utility of a bag sewn into a jacket" "pockets I never knew I needed...turn your jacket into a lounge chair...T-Rex British gentleman" "something made to be a tool and somehow became luxury Rolex"). Loved the dry humor ("pockets perfect because I always keep bags of water on me" "Barbour gotch you" - said by no one at heritage HQ. "Do your own research but know 'it big'"). Perfect understandable, relatable summary with wanting a patchy Barbour...that's exactly what this jacket is. It has history, character, is trusted, utilitarian, sustainable, understated luxury (Rolex Explorer I please). Well done. (Is that a Nakashima coffee table?)

[@dominicscalise]

Thank you! That table was made by me with the help of Matt Castilleja - he did the hard part; the legs. Definitely inspired though (I was on a big Nakashima kick at the time) mattcastilleja.com

That sounds a bit creepy. 😊

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Just bought my first Barbour jacket, a navy Bedale, a couple of days ago. I have blue eyes and my other clothing matches better with the blue tone, so I went with the navy version. It feels like such a solid piece of clothing and looks very good too. I spent the last days in Brussels were it was raining a lot and it did a great job at keeping me warm and dry.

[@caseyzaft6734]

What size jacket did you get?

[@paulwebster4997]

This is a brilliantly hilarious review. I’ve just ordered the bedale and was looking for a review. Yours is the best so far!

[@ChachiTelevision1979]

It’s my favorite jacket of all time. Sometimes I want to look like Travis Bickle (or a non-violent 70’s NYC taxi driver), and other times I want to look like a British countryside shepherd. This is a very versatile jacket.

[@folksurvival]

The Travis Bickle jacket is actually the classic M65 Field Jacket which is a great jacket. Stallone also wore it in First Blood.

[@ChachiTelevision1979]

@@folksurvival No, I get it. You’re right, Travis’ jacket is a classic all its own. I meant this one, while different, can mimic the aesthetic - not as a carbon copy, but by inspiration.

I only have one Barbour, a special edition wax cotton version of one of their quilt jackets, but I love it so much I want a second one in the more OG style like a Bedale, though the Beacon is also really tempting for its 007 Skyfall aesthetic. Love the ruggedness of them and the look that says style without looking like you're trying, looks great with wool pullovers and casual cotton shirts.

[@usacijudge1]

Just purchased a Barbour Beaufort. It's awesome.

[@k4lk0]

Hello Dominic. If I may suggest, IMO excellent jacket to add to a collection of iconic garments : Barbour x Baracuta Porton Wax jacket. I guess you probably have some Harrington style jacket/s, probably the original Baracuta G9. But this one is worth checking out. I bough it just yesterday and I am thrilled. If you see value in or like quality craftmanship plus versatility you would buy it even if it is not 100% your style or you have the Bedale :) (I have it too and considering selling it now) I am blown away by it and it suits me just better than Bedale and have similar use for it. Would love to hear you opinion, even more, similar review of Barbour x Baracuta Porton Wax jacket. Cheers!

[@dominicscalise]

Damn, that thing looks awesome. Thanks for the rec!

[@k4lk0]

It is even better once you really see one and put one on. It is not so much Vitsœ shelving, like the Bedale is. It is just iconic jacket. The tartan lining of this jacket is something special.

[@EDHBlvd]

When you say green, you mean sage, right? I'm currently caught up between colours and can't seem to find a specific green mentioned in your video, but instead sage & olive?

[@dominicscalise]

Yes, that’s right. Mine is sage.

[@ConnorRooney1]

Cheers! One more question: is your jacket sylkoil or thornproof? I much prefer the colour of yours in daylight and so I feel that the wax finish may influence the colour slightly @@dominicscalise

[@Vintage-Vespa-Miami]

The big ring allow to operate the zipper with your globes on

[@josesandoval6512]

Cool video…need more research. Green? Which green? Olive or Sage? Bedale has two fabrics: both 6 oz waxed cotton ( no 8 oz version; that’s the Border style); Silkoil classic, is the Olive version; Thornproof is the Sage version; sizing? Runs big? What are your measurements and what size did you get? That would be more helpful. Again, well editing.

[@dominicscalise]

That's not my schtick - I'm not the tech and spec guy. You should make your own video.

[@josesandoval6512]

@@dominicscalise I don’t have your editing powers to make my own video. Yours is really good, but my bad for expecting information and not just entertainment. The Barbour sizing seems weird and the colour difference is subtle but it has to do with the type of cotton and wax combo (I didn’t know, but maybe you didn’t either). Cheers.

[@mrrrl795]

where do you get your flannel shirts? and your aran sweater?

[@dominicscalise]

Shirts are from Gitman Vintage. Great fabric and cuts, but it's the attention to detail on the pattern matching that gets me with them. Sweater is from J Crew. Not as keen on J Crew since Todd Snyder left, but this sweater is solid.

[@Aggnog]

You missed one question that I'm surprised isn't common in the comments, whats the difference to the beaufort? They look very similar.

[@cheddarbuttersworth2441]

The Beaufort is a bit longer, has no storm cuffs and has a game pocket in the back (and thus no vents).

Cold water and a sponge - avoid throwing it in the washer/dryer as it would destroy the wax coating. And then just ship it back to Barbour when it's time for a re-wax, it'll come back looking new.
