HOW BARBOUR JACKETS FIT, MODEL BY MODEL
A WAXED JACKET IN THE RIGHT SIZE LASTS DECADES

Barbour men's sizes come from inches: the UK number is the chest measurement, and to get the Italian size you add 10. A UK 38 is an Italian 48, that is an M. In this Barbour size guide you'll find the full conversion chart and how the Bedale, Ashby and Transport waxed jackets at faraone.shop fit.

How do you read Barbour sizes?

Barbour is a British brand and sizes its men's jackets by chest measurement in inches. That's why the labels show numbers like 36, 38 or 40 instead of letters.

UK 36: Italian size 46, S;
UK 38: Italian size 48, M;
UK 40: Italian size 50, L;
UK 42: Italian size 52, XL.

Barbour at faraone.shop: letters or numbers?

At faraone.shop Barbour jackets are listed in Italian sizes or letters, depending on the model. The chart lets you move from one to the other and compare them with the UK size on the label of a Barbour you already own.

A wax jacket to wear over a blazer or an everyday jacket?

How Barbour jackets fit, model by model

The model decides how much room there is underneath.

How do the Barbour Bedale and Ashby fit?

The Bedale and Ashby have a regular fit: take your usual size. They're waxed jackets designed to be worn over a jumper. If you wear them over a jacket or blazer, consider one size up.

How does the Barbour OS Transport fit?

The OS Transport has a loose fit: OS stands for oversized. In your usual size you get the volume the model is designed for; going one size down only makes sense if you want a closer line.

Does Barbour run big or small?

Barbour waxed jackets fit in line with the chart, but the wax makes the fabric stiff in the first months: a jacket that feels right over a shirt can pull over a heavy jumper. Think about what you'll wear underneath and choose accordingly.

The right Barbour size comes from the chart, to convert inches and Italian sizes, and from the model's fit. Every product page on faraone.shop shows the Fit field: Regular or Loose.

On faraone.shop you'll find a selection of men's Barbour, from the Bedale, Ashby and OS Transport waxed jackets to shirts and tartan accessories, with fast shipping, free size exchanges and 30 days to return.

Shoulders, wax and cotton

A waxed jacket in the right size lasts decades

In the right size the jacket only creases where it should and gains character over the years.

A Barbour waxed jacket can be repaired, rewaxed and worn for years. In the right size the shoulders stay in place and the waxed cotton only creases where it should: that's how the jacket takes on the character that makes it recognisable.
