In 1980, Barbour produced their first short, lightweight jacket, the Bedale. Originally designed for riding, the Bedale is a favourite with many Britons, from royalty to pop icons. Dame Margaret Barbour designed the Bedale with equestrian practices in mind, with a shorter length, relaxed fit, rear vents and an essential nylon inner ‘drip strip’ which provided resistance to moisture from horses seeping into the jacket. Made from 6oz midweight waxed cotton and fully interactive, with optional thermal linings and a zip-up hood, the Bedale is a brilliant all-year-round jacket. The classic elements of a Barbour jacket are all included, with a two-way brass ring. “Stormfly” zip and studs in the front, two large bellows pockets and two moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets and traditional pockets Velvet collar with studs for a hidden neck flap.
