Few jackets are as closely associated with British outerwear as the Bedale. Originally introduced in 1980 as a riding jacket, its shorter length and corduroy collar drew on Barbour's deep connection to the countryside while offering a more versatile alternative to traditional field coats. One of the elite few still hand-assembled in South Shields in signature 6oz waxed cotton, it remains a year-round staple, equipped with a storm flap and wind-blocking collar tab for protection when the weather inevitably turns. Decades later, the Bedale still feels like Barbour at its most authentic. 100% Waxed Cotton Corduroy Collar Throat Tab 2-Way Zip Closure Snap Button Placket 4 Front Pockets Embroidered Branding Made in the UK Style Code: MWX0010OL71
