Summer jacket Anonymous Mon, Apr 1, 2019 06:17:45 No.14224053 [Reply] [Original]

I already have a Barbour Beaufort for winter, now I want a jacket for warmer weather

1) Lightweight wax

or

2) Waterproof polyester

I think wax is better bang for the buck

I've settled on the Barbour lightweight Ashby in navy blue, it's like a slim Bedale

I really like the wax Harrington but I have wide hips & long legs so it might look a bit goofy on me, whereas the Ashby is longer

Those jackets look cheap and uncomfortable. Cover up the model's face and imagine your head there instead. You will just look like an Indiana Jones wannabe. Everyone will laugh at you as you waddle down the hall, your jacket rubbing against itself making squeaky noises.

im honestly baffled at the waxed jacket meme. i think they look horrible, and unless you are literally working in the forest and treking through branches and brambles, or out pheasant hunting or somethng, i do not why you would wear one.

now, lets think about this for a minute. follow me here. waxed jackets are (1) very heavy, they are (2) not breathable whatsoever, since its just a cotton shell with a thick coat of wax on top of it. (3) it requires a lot of maintenance and re-waxing, which is a pain in the ass.

if you want waterproofness, why would you choose this over a goretex jacket ? if you want toughness, there are fabrics out there that are way tougher, and more breathable. i guess what im saying is,these jackets may look cool at times, but they are literally outdated and serve no purpose at all.

They look normal in the UK at least. Maybe in an urban American setting they look tryhard.

>now, lets think about this for a minute. follow me here. waxed jackets are (1) very heavy,

Not really true

>they are (2) not breathable whatsoever, since its just a cotton shell with a thick coat of wax on top of it. (3) it requires a lot of maintenance and re-waxing, which is a pain in the ass.

They don't need to be re-waxed every year. Anyone can do it at home.

>if you want waterproofness, why would you choose this over a goretex jacket ? if you want toughness, there are fabrics out there that are way tougher, and more breathable. i guess what im saying is,these jackets may look cool at times,

A wax jacket is more comfortable & pleasant to wear, and looks more classic.

>but they are literally outdated and serve no purpose at all.

Yeh, everyone should wear Patagonia vests to the office instead of suits

Goretex coating gets punctured by branches very easily. I get branches scraping my coat and face every day so I have been using cotton, wool and wax jackets for a decade. Anything sport textile only for running.

I would recommend OP not getting anything Barbour or wax for the spring because the jackets won't breathe until they have been worn in aka the wax has faded and they turn into more regular jackets.

Nah

Bedale is shorter and has ribbed cuffs, Beaufort is longer and has velcro cuffs (the cuff thing is not a big deal at all).

I think traditionally the Bedale was for riding, the Beaufort for on foot.

Arguably the Beaufort is the classic Barbour, Bedale is the young person's Barbour.

I am a zoomer and looking at that link you generously posted, I think my heart is still on a green bedale. I don't know how well it will hold up in winter, but I have fleeces and long johns for my legs. Gonna get one of the hoods too.

>>	Anonymous Tue, Apr 2, 2019 11:58:35 No.14227309 >>14227221 Sage aka green is the best color, color matches well with the brown collar and the green looks good in every shade of fade. Then maybe navy of you don't wear blue jeans. Olive is meh and black fades to ugly grey.

Alabama anon reporting in.
Who wears jackets in summer? (except maybe a raincoat)
We're roaming around in shorts of some kind, and a polo shirt, drenched in sweat.
One exception are the "old money twits" and the wannabes, trying to bring back the seersucker suit of the 1930s, because traditions, and trying to bring back the "good old days".

"Summer" was the wrong title for the thread.

I should have said, "Warmer weather". A jacket to sometimes wear in Northern Europe, from March to early June, and from September to October.
