At the very heart of the Classic collection and a firm favourite year after year, the Classic Bedale is made using Barbour's 6oz Sylkoil. Originally introduced for riding, this relaxed-fit jacket is now a seasonal staple in town and country alike.

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.
Registered at Companies House as J.BARBOUR & SONS,LIMITED, number 00124201. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
