"Picked up this jacket last year...love it. Keeps you dry and blocks the wind. Perfect for rain and snow, and looks good enough to wear with a suit or business casual work clothes. Not cheap, but worth the price."

A Jacket to stand the test of Time!!,
October 21, 2009
By:
TheReverandfrom Scottish Highlands
"I've used a Barbour Beaufort for just about everything I do in the outdoors...hunting deer in the highlands of Scotland, Sea-Fishing in the North Sea, Driven Shooting in wet & windy Yorkshire, Wildfowling on the Solway Firth. This jacket is a great old favourite. Even the dogs like to lay on it in the car! As long as you keep the proofing in good order, this will keep you dry when the Gore-Tex brigade cry, enough! Farmers and Sportsmen have worn these coats for over a hundred years in Britain, there can be no greater testament to the special place they occupy in the national psyche. Downsides? In warmer weather they will make you sweat, and they can smell oily when new...these are just small problems though."

Versatile,
October 11, 2009
By:
Locumfrom UK
"I live in the country and work in town and the Barbour suits both environments. For me, it is a first class cold/wet weather garment that looks and wears just as well over a suit as with jeans and boots, but it really comes into its own when I'm caught in the rain walking the dogs in open country. I keep a Barbour waxed cap in the game pocket, also called a poacher's pocket over here, for just such occasions.
It is tough, but not indestructable. Fortunately, Barbour will professionally repair and rewax their products for very reasonable cost. How many garment manufacturers will do that these days?"

Ladies like it too.,
May 28, 2009
By:
weewestie
"I bought my Beaufort in 1996 in Scotland. I was freezing in July, but the Beaufort made it a much more pleasant trip and kept me bone dry. I bought the hood with it so I was impervious to the rain. No one has mentioned the ton of pickets and storage spots on this jacket. I know it's for the "fowl" but it works great for carrying all sorts of things especially when you're flying international and limited to carryon weight. Ladies, if you take the time to try on a few to get the right size, you won't be disappointed. I've had mine re-waxed once by Orvis and it looks great. I hope to pass it down to my children it's that good."

Great coat for all occasions,
May 28, 2009
By:
York
"Okay, it is a lint-magnet that weights a ton. So why do I love it? Ruggedly handsome, lots of pockets, sturdy, and rain-proof are the reasons.
I have worn mine -- with the warm-pile lining and a sweater -- to the glaciers in the Canadian Rockies and it kept me warm and dry. Also worn it without the lining while visiting Scotland where the North Sea gales blew (it is wind-proofed as well), and braved the down pour in Ireland in the spring.. But the Beaufort is more than just a raincoat. I felt right at home wearing it while window-shopping on Savile Row. Yes, you can wear the beaufort in any setting and still look stylish.
The sole reason I did not give it 5 stars is because my warm pile lining came with a snap button missing (I am astounded by the poor workmanship) But overall, I love my Beaufort and wear it more often than my Loro Piana Horsey.
Just ordered a light weight one for summer. Hope it really is light weight."

Great Coat,

By:

"This is a great coat to have for all year round. Wind, rain, and snow, this coat is impervious to it all. When traveling this coat is the smart choice. It saves the need to pack several coats for the constantly changing weather."

Disappointed with fabric,
May 20, 2009
By:
Lifelisterfrom Florida
"I needed a flexible field jacket for birding with great square pockets and adaptability. I travel light and wore this recently in crazy Colorado snow, rain and windstorms and was reasonably protected in all with proper layers beneath. Likes: Classy , great pockets, quality zippers, water, snow and wind resistance, longer length which keeps tushy protected in bad weather Dislikes: noticeably odd wax odor; fabric always feels damp and shows wrinkles; heavy, a bit bulky; zipper is sturdy but hard to start. For the price, I wanted to love it and I don't."
Response from Orvis:
ByOrvis Customer Service Team,
July 19, 2009
Orvis contacted this customer and apologized that this jacket did not meet their expectations. New Barbour waxed cotton items do have a slight odor and a stiffness until the item is broken-in through the customer's use. We are happy to hear that the jacket performed as expected on most levels and we appreciate all comments. We offered an exchange or refund, whichever the customer preferred.

Outstanding Purchase,
January 17, 2009
By:
Massvikingfrom Lynnfield, Ma.
"I bought my Beaufort jacket a few months ago in Beverly, Mass and have worn it every day since. It is very well made and can be worn with either jeans or over a sport coat. This thing sheds water like a duck - best raincoat I've ever had. I was looking for a jacket that I could wear in all types of weather conditions for work and play and the Beaufort really fits the bill. Got the polarquilt zip in liner when it got real cold and it is amazingly warm. It was 6 degrees w/o wind chill this morning and with a t-shirt, fleece pullover and the Beaufort on I was good to go. I am in and out of the car a lot every day for work and this is the best jacket for driving - dry and warm without all the bulk of a winter coat. Gets lots of compliments especially from other Barbour wearers. Love the olive color - it's casual and business at the same time. The Beaufort is not cheap but absolutely worth every penny. Wearing this jacket makes the ever changing New England weather easier to take."
"I purchased a Barbour Beaufort from Orvis, Carmel, IN on 10/29/2006. I wrote the date of purchase along with my name on the personal info label inside the right front pocket since I wanted to see if the jacket would last 30 years plus as reported by some Barbour owners. Anyway today, 1/13/09, while shoveling snow, I heard the jacket shell rip near the left front pocket. I was shocked since these jackets are designed to last a lifetime under hard use.
Anyway, what made me feel better is when I called the main Orvis number, Customer Service Rep Misty told me that if I produce the original receipt, they would give me 125% of what I paid for the jacket. If I cannot find the receipt, I could simply exchange the jacket for a new one in Carmel, IN.
If this is the case, then I will forever be an Orvis customer.
I still love Beaufort jackets, but I am not sure if I would wear my new one while working in the yard."

German weather ain't got nothing on this one!,
November 18, 2008
By:
Stilldogfrom Landstuhl, Germany
"Okay, excuse the bad English in the description but this jacket is truly amazing and well worth the 300 Euro's I paid for it in Heidelburg, Germany. I have owned this jacket since 2006 and made sure I got it cleaned and re-waxxed. I did this with a merchant in New Hampshire who I whole heartedly recommend. What I did find out is the sleeves needed about a 1/2" letting out. The vendor I speak of does this and does an ultra professional job. He added a leather cuff which really goes with the jacket. without a doubt I would recommend this jacket for the nastiest weather out there. ps get the liner."

Excellent Coat,
May 28, 2008
By:
JDDDSfrom Long Island, New York
"The Barbour Beauford is a very well made, all weather, classic coat. I have had mine now for two months and I look forward to the rainy weather so that I can wear my Beauford. I have owned other waxed coats which only now I realize, this was the coat which the others tried to match. Its expensive - yes, but worth the price. With jeans or a sport coat, in the city or horse country, you cannot go wrong with the Beauford."

The toughest outdoor jacket,
May 27, 2008
By:
Northumbrianfrom Northumberland, England
"I'm into my second Barbour even though I have failed to wear out the first yet - it was a cast off from my wife & was always a little small. It has kept me dry in an open boat fishing in Scottish rain & spray. When shooting, it will go anywhere my dog does short of swimming. Fir woods, brambles, thorn thickets make no impression on it. It's been slammed in car doors, slid down muddy banks, scraped over rocks, been stuffed with fish and game birds and even used as a stretcher to carry a dog. Dirt just sluices off. It's waterproof & windproof but you can mix your own layers underneath for warmth. Only disadvantage is you can get condensation after a day's outdoor work but no breathable jacket is this tough so it's worth the occasional minor discomfort. It's even made entirely of natural fabrics. I hear they're becoming fashionable in America - great news. The Barbour jacket and Orvis crushable felt hat are perfect allies against any weather."

"This Barbour jacket is made so well. I use mine riding my horse, which is very wearing on any other coat. With Barbour, the older it gets, the better looking it gets. I like how it looks so much, I had to buy another one to wear when I'm not riding!"

My Favorite article of clothing,
January 22, 2008
By:
pescator7from New York, NY
"I just purchased my second Beaufort jacket. My first lasted through 10 years of New England snow, rain, rough usage and 6 re-proofings. It traveled with me across the U.S. and kept me warm and dry during a particularly rainy week in Scotland. When I moved to New York City, I was surprised to see how many “fashionable” people were wearing Barbour jackets. Unfortunately, although my Beaufort held up to the years and looked almost like new, my waistline did not fare as well and I had to retire it in favor of a roomier model. I can only hope that my new jacket lasts as long, looks as good and is part of as many fond memories."

Unbelievable Versatility,
January 3, 2008
By:
WalkingManfrom Cincinnati, Ohio
"I couldn't believe that this light weight jacket could really stand up to the cold like the reviews said. Last night I took a 3 mile walk and with the warm pile liner zipped in, a very light sweatershirt and a zip up sweater I felt fine...did I mention it was 5 degrees with a windchill of -10?
Today I wore it to a business casual meeting and tomorrow it will travel with me to Chicago where it will be worn over a suit while on the town and to a formal business meeting. It looks dashing.
I wear a 44 suit and the 48 Beaufort fits perfect for me over sweaters, so buy it a bit bigger than you might guess.
At first glance it seems a bit pricey, and if it was any higher I wouldn't have bought it no matter what the reviews, but this jacket is a fair value when you consider the many jackets it can replace and the durability. It will last decades and the cost will be much less than all those other lesser jackets combined over time.
As they say in Britain, 'the bitterness of low quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price has faded away.'"

Finest Field Coat Money Can Buy,
October 8, 2007
By:
Highlander
"I bought the Barbour Beaufort Jacket from Orvis on an annual pilgrimage to the Battenkill river and the Orvis store in Manchester, Vermont. It was an unusually cold and raw day in September and the jacket was an impulse buy based on the recommendation of an Orvis salesperson. I have relied upon that jacket for five years now. It looks as good today as the day I bought it. Keeps the wet out, keeps me warm and looks fantastic. The optional zip in liner makes this jacket an ideal Fall, Winter and Spring coat."

The best,
October 6, 2007
By:
darekennel
"I had had my Beaufort for nearly 10 years and is far and away my favorite field coat. Keep it proofed and it will last forever. The quality is evident and not found in any imitation. The zippers are as smooth as day 1. I bought the liner for mine and it allows me wear it from fall to spring. An investment worth very penny."
