Bedale Water Resistant Waxed Cotton Jacket

This jacket is a classic and if you are reading reviews of it, you probably have a good idea what to expect. it's a great looking jacket, although the wax tends to rub off onto other things and the fit is large. the jacket in my usual size fits loosely around my chest - but not unreasonably so. However, it is huge around my waist. if i were a woman, i could be 9 months pregnant and still manage to zip the coat up - that's how "regular fit" this jacket is. i suppose it is the style of the jacket but it does look a little comical if you are in-shape/skinny. I would advise trying them on before purchasing! I am a 36 which unfortunately is the smallest size offered by Nordstrom. Sizing down isn't an option for me, but that would certainly be worth considering.

If you're in need of a jacket that can be worn anywhere and everywhere, look no further. Barbour's Bedale jacket is a timeless classic that will surely impress. Not to mention, comfortable, functional, and very well made. In about 20 degree F weather, I still managed to stay warm. I love wearing this jacket and will continue to shop Barbour in the future!
