Sizing Information

Barbour: Jacket & Coat Sizing

When you order a Barbour Bedale or Beaufort waxed jacket, should you order one in your normal chest size or should you order one in a bigger size to allow for clothing under the jacket or coat?
This is a question we get asked a lot and the answer is that you should measure loosely over the expanded chest with normal light clothing on. Barbour clothing is made with the expectation that you will wear it over normal clothing such as a sweater. So if your chest size is 42" you should order a 42" chest size unless you want a really loose fit.
The Barbour Border waxed coat is sized to be worn over another jacket such as a suit jacket. So, if you were a 42" you should order a 42" and you will be able to wear it over your sports jacket. However, if you know you were going to wear it without another jacket underneath, you could order a 40" Border and expect a comfortable fit.
 
Do Barbour make women's Beaufort, Bedale or Border jackets?
Not in the waxed cotton jackets. These are unisex and most women prefer the Bedale because it is the shortest of the three jackets.
The Border is worn mostly by men who also wear the Bedale as a riding jacket. If you are short, the Bedale is a great choice.

Backhouse make their oilskin coats and jackets to fit over normal clothing.
