Here is the Beaufort
Which Barbour waxed jacket? Beaufort or Bedale?

I bet he's back next week complaining about it.
If it messes up my car seat I would!
To be clear, I did not buy this as a replacement to a trench coat. I also don't think this would be a good option to wear over a suit. The jacket is too heavy. I did not buy it for that purpose. I'm planning to pair it with cardigans and flannels and occasionally wear it over blazers on cold rainy days.
Yes it does have a heft to it. I don't own any trench coats to comment on that but it's definitely heavier than my cashmere blend top coat.

I'm not sure what model jacket I have, but it's shorter, like the Bedale, and I like it because it's easy to get in and out of the car because I'm not sitting on the extra length. To support an earlier comment, it's got some weight to it, and is probably heavier than my 3/4-length trench coat.
You are better off having bought a Beaufort from Orvis rather than a Barbour store . Go figure . I've found Orvis to provide much better customer service . I brought a Beaufort in for repair a couple of years ago that had a torn pocket and Orvis insisted on exchanging it for a new one instead .
Agreed! I can't remeber when was the last time I paid full retail for an item. Their costumer service was top notch! I had no problem paying full retail given their service!

Similar boat here. Because of the hood, I pretty much only wear my Barbours, suit or not, prefreezing. I have a (now) too-big Border and a sweet Beaufort.
I have a tan Sanyo trench, which is about 3 years old, worn three times I am going to get rid of because it is now too big.

I also have the Beaufort and wear it with a liner. It's good when temps are no lower than the mid 30's. Below that, I'm afraid it's not enough coat, even with the liner.

Pair it with a Shetland sweater and you will be fine!

I own both... Hardly ever get a chance to wear either of them.

I have worn mine (with liner and heavy sweater) in the Arctic but for the most part it just keeps the rain off. And I would never wear one over a worsted suit! Ewwww . . .
Over tweed is another question all together. Definitely over tweed.

I've been very happy with my purchase. But yes all the hardware and extra pockets does make it heavy. And nothing is wrong with that. it's a quality made item.Quickly scrolled through as I recently joined the Barbour ranks - but I feel a bit like I landed in the Twilight Zone.
1) Barbour coats over a suit? :crazy:
2) A waxed cotton coat being too heavy?
I mean.... I just....
Never mind.

My Barbour has 8 exterior pockets and God knows how many zippers and snaps. The day I find this coat heavy is the very day I finally succumb to a gym membership and structured weight training. Small wonder the lapel pin doesn't tip me right over. (I kid, I kid

LOL. My friend, my gym membership has nothing to do with the weight of the jacket, but it helps me to continue fitting into my Barbour!My Barbour has 8 exterior pockets and God knows how many zippers and snaps.
