After umming and ahhing over what waterproof coat to buy for the past few weeks I finally made my decision. I went for the Barbour Beadham Waxed Jacket. I looked at cheaper waxed jackets and more sporty waterproof coats but I kept on coming back to the Beadham.
I was so excited when it arrived and put it on straight away. Its is nice and light with enough room to put some layers underneath in winter. I don't think I'm a typical Barbour customer but I love the quality and fit of the item and can't wait to wear it.
I love the fact that the coat was handmade in the UK and Barbour 'remains true to its core values as a family business which espouses the unique values of the British Countryside and brings the qualities of wit, grit and glamour to its beautifully functional clothing.' I think this jacket will be with me for a very long time, such a classic item.
Quick post today as I'm off to see lots of my favourite people at #bloggersinbrum.Its going to rain all weekend so I can wear my new coat and stay dry :)

I'm so jealous. I'm currently saving for a waxed jacket and a quilted jacket from Barbour. It looks so nice on you :)

ReplyDeleteAll the posh kids at my university had those coats - kinda put me off because I'm not "rah" [as we called the private school students] enough to pull one off lol.
ReplyDeletehaha I know what you mean. I'm from the valleys in south Wales so not posh at all ;)

I love this Barbour jacket, I want one with a Liberty print lining! It was so lovely to see you this weekend!

The liberty one with rose lining had sold out :( boohooo We all need to hang out more often :) xx
DeleteLove that coat! It's perfect for this grey rainy weather that we're experiencing right now.
ReplyDeleteI would never really have thought of looking at Barbour jackets before but this one is so nice, you've made me want one too! I love the turn up cuffs.
ReplyDeleteI really need a 'sensible' jacket as none of mine are waterproof or have hoods - not ideal for this weather! x
I have been eyeing up Barbours for so long! I think they are great investment pieces xx

Love the jacket and loving your blog - I've been following for a while and it's great :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I have a question about your jacket – what size do you wear? I'm buying one as well but I'm not really sure about the sizes – are they normal?
ReplyDeleteHi Louise, they are true to size. I have a size 16 and it fits very well. If you plan on wearing loads of layers underneath if you're an outdoors type I would suggest sizing up x
