In 1980, Barbour produced their first short, lightweight jacket, the Bedale. Originally designed for riding, the Bedale is favoured by many Britons, from royalty to pop icons.
The classic elements of a Barbour jacket are all included, with a brass two-way ring-pull zip and studded 'Stormfly' front, two large bellows pockets and two moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets, and the traditional corduroy collar with studs for a hidden throat flap. Now a classic, the practicality and simple style of the Bedale remains popular with all ages.
