FAQs
How do I choose the right size for the Bedale jacket?
The Bedale features a traditional/regular fit. Check the size guide for chest and back length measurements. Consider whether you'll be wearing thick layers underneath; if so, sizing up might be advisable for a more comfortable fit.
Can I wear the Bedale jacket in heavy rain?
Yes, the 6oz waxed cotton provides good water resistance for most rainy conditions. For prolonged exposure to very heavy rain, ensure the jacket is well-maintained and consider adding a compatible waterproof hood.
How often should I re-wax my Bedale jacket?
The frequency depends on usage and climate. A general guideline is to re-wax every 12-18 months, or when you notice the water repellency decreasing. Barbour offers a re-waxing service if you prefer professional care.
What is the difference between the Bedale and other Barbour jackets like the Ashby or Beaufort?
The Bedale is typically shorter in length and features a relaxed fit with rear vents, originally designed for riding. The Ashby is a slimmer fit version, while the Beaufort is slightly longer and designed for shooting.
Can I wash the Bedale jacket in a washing machine?
No, the Bedale jacket should never be machine washed or dry cleaned. Cleaning should be done by sponge cleaning only to preserve the waxed finish. Harsh cleaning methods will damage the fabric.
Does the jacket come with a liner?
No, the jacket does not come with a liner. However, it is designed to be interactive with optional zip-in thermal liners and hoods, which are sold separately.
What does 'MWX0018' refer to?
MWX0018 is the specific product code or MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) for this particular Barbour Bedale jacket variant, often used for identification and ordering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or loses some water repellency.
This is normal for waxed cotton. Consider re-waxing the jacket following Barbour's instructions or utilizing their re-waxing service.
Wax transfer to clothing or surfaces.
Allow the jacket to 'mature' in a cool, dry place for a few days. Mild wax transfer is common and usually diminishes with wear and appropriate storage.
Zip is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to move the zip back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes help lubricate the teeth.
Stains on the jacket.
For minor marks, use a damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing, which can damage the wax finish.
