Gone forever PalmBeachGuy. Hello, A Trad Confused. I want to explore writing more, showing more original content, and sharing my overall thoughts on clothes.
Thanks for the question and thanks for following along with the blog. When I got my first Barbour jacket a few year back I got a Beaufort. I have always been very happy with the length of the body of the coat and never wanted anything shorter, so I’ve never owned a Bedale. From what I’ve read and heard from others, Bedales are not ideal for taller folks (I’m 5′ 11″) and they don’t cover blazers or sport coats completely, so for those reasons it didn’t seem like a good idea for me. I hope that helps in your search for the right coat, I’m sure you’ll enjoy your Barbour.
