This 60/40 edition of the Barbour Bedale, created for the Japanese market, offers an interesting alternative in terms of fit and fabric. The cotton-nylon blend is one of those classic materials, often used for sturdily built breathable outdoor clothing, that has functioned awfully well since becoming a cult textile in the late 1960s. By using this cloth on a slim cut version of their most beloved jacket style, the British brand have created a real winner.

Words

This shorter, slimmer-cut Bedale model by Barbour makes for a modernized take on the traditional classic. While it might be the most recognizable design in their line-up, based on overall styling, versatile pocket configuration, and proven durability, it's obvious why the Bedale is so beloved.

When it comes to the outdoors, Barbour have been making reliable garments for a very long time. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of waxed jackets so the Highpeak is a more appealing model, available in two classic colours.

Words

I like Barbour, but its a brand that I've never felt too compelled to buy into. It's a classic and I've recommended it to people, but I just don't need one. That said, I would happily accept this one. With a couple of subtle updates, this makes for a very nice, tasteful collaboration.
