This slim-fit model of the Bideil boasts popularity as a standard model of Barbour. Originally created as a riding jacket, the length of the jacket does not disrupt the elegant riding pose, and the snap-button side vents are designed to keep the hem area beautiful. The practical details of those days are now utilized as design accents. The front is double-zipped, with a ring-shaped pull on the upper side to allow opening and closing the zip with gloves on. Functional features include raglan sleeves for easy shoulder movement and ribbed cuffs to prevent wind from entering the garment. In addition, the traditionally designed corduroy collar has a snap-button chinstrap to hold the collar in place and keep the neck warm when the collar is up. The lining is lined with tartan check, a traditional Barbour signature, and the eye-catching detailing is one of the most popular features of this item! [英訳]
筆者の体形は、身長171cm、体重73kg。全体的に肉付きが良く、スポーツ経験を問われることが多い。 筆者が購入したのはBEDALE SLの36サイズ。現行モデルで言うスリムフィットかと思われる。海外サイトにはスリムフィットが存在しない様なので日本限定モデルか。 The author’s build is 171 cm tall and weighs 73 kg; he is generally well-fleshed and his sports experience is often questioned. The author purchased the BEDALE SL in size 36. It is considered a slim fit in the current model. The slim fit does not seem to exist on overseas websites, so it may be a Japan-only model.
I have gained probably about 10 kg since I bought it, and I am sad to say that the sleeves are not enough. My friend who accompanied me shopping at the time said that a size 36 was definitely better than a 38, so I went along with her, but I have a lot of regrets. However, I still like it so much that I use it.
The length is just enough to cover my hips, and I can wear a sweater or jacket underneath. However, I have thin arms, so I can only wear thin sweaters. If you wear a thick sweater, the pattern will show up.
There is a pocket in just the right place on the chest, which is GOOD for keeping your hands in during the cold winter months.
The fur liner can be fastened inside with a zipper, and the fur is very warm. The jacket alone is an outerwear for spring and fall, but when the fur is attached, it is fine even in the middle of winter.
When you first buy it, it feels very oily and needs to be hung separately from the rest of your clothes. I have never added oil to this jacket in the nearly 10 years since I bought it, but it still feels oily, so I hang it at the front door.
It is very sturdy, just as the oiled jacket is supposed to be sturdy. It is so sturdy that I think it would probably be okay even if it fell down heavily on the asphalt.
I have been using this jacket for almost 10 years, and although the tips of the sleeves have become a little damaged, the other parts of the jacket have acquired a glossy sheen from wear and tear and are changing with age.
My personal most heavily used outerwear. I think it’s really cool. And I think it is getting cooler the longer I wear it. My wife sometimes wears it on her own these days. I recommend buying a little bigger in case you want to put a liner inside.
Founded in 1894 in the northeastern part of the U.K., the brand’s signature item is the wax jacket, which was awarded the Royal Warrant, a proof of Royal Warrant from His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and HRH The Prince of Wales, in 1974, 1982, and 1987, respectively. The Bedale shown on this page was designed in 1980.
