Barbour · Men's Outerwear
The whole aesthetic in one garment. Gets better every year he owns it.
If you buy one thing off the old money list, buy the Bedale. Waxed cotton, tartan lining, cut short enough to drive in — it is the jacket that makes a man look like he has a dog and a house in the country whether or not either is true. It also ages: five winters in, it will look better than the day it arrived.
4.8 out of 5
The whole aesthetic in one garment, and a Bedale genuinely gets better every year he owns it — the wax takes on the shape of the wearer. Re-waxable forever. It needs re-waxing annually and it is a messy job; the tin is a sensible companion gift.
