The primary design difference in the Barbour Beaufort vs the Bedale can be seen in the back of the jackets, with the Beaufort featuring a highly-functional, full-width rear pocket, while the equestrian history of the Bedale instead called for flexible rear vents. Outside of a sporting setting, these differences add an extra element of functionality and unique style to everyday life, making both waxed jackets a popular choice for men looking to make a statement without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
