Beaufort Waxed Cotton Jacket
This product is the Barbour Beaufort Waxed Cotton Jacket, a mid-length men's outerwear jacket designed for weather protection and durability. It is made from rugged 6 oz. water-resistant waxed cotton with a pointed corduroy collar, a two-way metallic front zip under a snap-button storm flap, raglan sleeves, and a checkered lining. The relaxed-fit jacket includes flap and side pockets, and its construction has been a core Barbour style since 1983.

Product Insights
Designed in 1983 as Barbour's first town-and-country jacket, the Beaufort Waxed Cotton Jacket is hand-sewn at the South Shields factory with a carnier-inspired rear pocket and classic tartan lining. Holding three Royal Warrants and worn by Queen Elizabeth II for 25 years, it offers reliable weather protection through a tall corduroy collar, snap-adjustable storm cuffs, and hem. A wire-reinforced hood and zip-in liners enable four-season use, while the rear pocket fits five tallboy Nalgenes. The relaxed fit layers heavy sweaters, but sizing down shortens sleeves (factory can lengthen for ~$80). Optimal for 0–20°C, a liner extends to below freezing, though the jacket is not breathable for active warmth. Annual rewaxing with Barbour Thornproof Dressing and factory re-waxing services restore like-new condition, allowing decades of use with developing patina.

Great quality and fit for a timeless jacket designed for maritime weather.
Same great quality as in 1995.
Great Jacket, recommended. My previous one purchased in 1995 has minor small holes at some various stress points - that is all after 30 years of wear. I needed a larger size.
Famous brand actually great
Sometimes famous brands are just expensive, but this is an actually great jacket that I'll wear for years.
