The Barbour Beaufort Wax Jacket: A Timeless Icon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the Evergreen Icons collection lies the Beaufort wax jacket<\/a>. This season, we celebrate its remarkable 40-year journey. Designed by Dame Margaret Barbour and first introduced into the range in 1983, this iconic wax jacket has become synonymous with the Barbour brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/strong>Back in 1983, the Beaufort was a new style of jacket that had not really been seen before. I designed it as a multi-purpose jacket that was immensely practical and functional. It was very successful straight away. I also designed it in navy<\/a>, and it became very popular on the high street. It was what people were looking for.\u201d<\/strong> DAME MARGARET BARBOUR DBE., DL. CHAIRMAN<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Beaufort is not just a jacket; it’s a piece of fashion history. Its enduring appeal lies in its timeless design, combining form and function seamlessly. Whether you’re strolling through the countryside or navigating the streets of the city, the Beaufort fits right in. It’s quintessentially Barbour <\/a>and a true embodiment of their dedication to crafting practical yet stylish outerwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Special Limited-Edition Barbour Beaufort Jacket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To mark the 40th anniversary of the Beaufort, Barbour has introduced a very special limited-edition Barbour Beaufort Jacket<\/a> for Autumn Winter ’23. This jacket pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the Beaufort and commemorates this significant milestone with its design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1983, Chairman Dame Margaret Barbour originally designed the Barbour Beaufort Wax Jacket as a sporting jacket. She drew inspiration from her visits to France, where sporting jackets boasted more features and a distinct style compared to those in the UK at that time. The choice of the name “Beaufort” was made to emphasise the continental character of the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As you’d expect, the limited-edition Beaufort jacket embodies all the hallmarks of Barbour’s craftsmanship. This includes a rear full width game pocket, raglan sleeves, two cosy handwarmer pockets and two voluminous bellow pockets, complete with drainage eyelets. It features the same classic design with a storm throat flap, studded corduroy collar and a durable waxed cotton outer that have made the Barbour Beaufort Coat a timeless icon. However, this edition comes with unique touches that make it a collector’s item. These include a anniversary stud to top of collar and inner patch plus, a Beaufort badge unique to the jacket. The Limited Edition Beaufort Jacket is also available in Navy, Olive and Sage colourways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
