Full details
The Barbour Bedale Wax Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and functional outerwear piece with a classic equestrian-inspired aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its all-year-round usability, thanks to its mediumweight waxed cotton construction and compatibility with optional liners and hoods. A potential caveat is the specific care required for waxed cotton to maintain its performance and appearance.

FAQs
How do I know when to re-wax my jacket?
You'll notice the jacket feels drier to the touch, looks less uniformly colored, or water no longer beads on the surface. Annual re-waxing is generally recommended, or more frequently if used extensively in harsh weather.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The waxed cotton offers good protection against moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, consider using the compatible hood and ensuring the jacket has been recently re-waxed.
What is the 'drip-strip' for?
The Nylon inner 'drip-strip' is a technical feature designed to prevent dampness from horses or other sources from seeping up into the main lining of the jacket, particularly relevant for its equestrian origins.
How do I clean muddy stains?
Allow mud to dry, then gently brush it off. For tougher stains, sponge the affected area with cold water and a soft cloth. Avoid using detergents or hot water.
What's the difference between the Bedale and other Barbour jackets like the Ashby or Beaufort?
The Bedale is known for its shorter length and relaxed fit, originally designed for riding. The Beaufort is slightly longer with more spacious pockets, and the Ashby is a slimmer-fitting modern interpretation.
Can I put the jacket in the washing machine?
No, never machine wash or tumble dry a waxed Barbour jacket. This will strip the wax and damage the fabric. Cleaning should be done by sponging with cold water.
What size should I order?
The Bedale has a relaxed, traditional fit designed for layering. Consult the product's size guide and consider your usual fit preference and what you intend to wear underneath.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or sticky.
This can indicate excess wax. Allow the jacket to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area or sponge gently with cold water.
Wax residue on other clothing.
This is more common in warm weather. Ensure the jacket is properly dry and consider a light re-wax if the finish seems heavy. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics in high temperatures.
Zippers are stiff.
Gently clean the zip teeth with a soft brush and cold water. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before attempting to zip. Avoid using lubricants not designed for waxed jackets.
Water is soaking through.
The waxed finish may need re-application. Follow the care instructions for re-waxing the jacket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Barbour Bedale arrives ready to wear. Ensure you familiarize yourself with the zip and stud closures for secure fastening.
Compatibility: This jacket is fully interactive, meaning it is compatible with Barbour's optional zip-in liners (e.g., fleece or quilted) and hoods. These can be purchased separately to enhance warmth and weather protection.
Care:
- Cleaning: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Sponge clean the jacket with cold water using a soft sponge or cloth. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Always dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Hang on a wooden or padded hanger.
- Re-waxing: Over time, the waxed finish will diminish. Re-waxing annually, or as needed, will restore its water-resistance and durability. Barbour offers a re-waxing service, or you can purchase their Thornproof Dressing for home application.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can cause the wax to sweat.
