I Waited 20 Stormy Years for Barbour’s Next Iconic Jacket

Barbour has been the go-to brand for generations of stylish countryside geezers trying to keep inclement weather at bay. The English label’s waxed jackets have earned them an official seal of approval from the royal court—king shit, as it were. The Bedale and Beaufort jackets are emblems of the brand’s quality and aesthetic, and have birthed collabs with some of fashion’s coolest labels and spawned countless “homages”.

These bona fide classics have also made it hard for Barbour to step out of its own shadow. How do you build the next icon in your collection? While countless other brands continue to struggle with that, Barbour has finally found their answer: the Transport jacket.

Transport Wax Jacket

The Transport has the same 6-ounce waxed cotton as the Bedale, but it feels noticeably lighter and less cumbersome. The wax feels a bit less oily, and the tartan lining is supposedly 100% cotton, but does feel quite silky and almost like a nylon you might find on a windbreaker.

Features include Barbour’s signature throat latch, corduroy collar, and classic tartan lining. There’ also a few tricks up its literal sleeves: the lining is cut with elastic at the cuffs and an adjustable drawstring at the waist for wind protection. Front welt pockets keep belongings secure and your hands warm, and the zip pocket is cleverly hidden behind the placket for a pared-back look that doesn’t sacrifice storage.

The oversized and slightly cropped silhouette is sick, but sizing can be a bit tricky. Barbour’s site doesn’t advise you on how to size, but some retailers suggest ordering a smaller size. I normally wear a medium or size 40 in most jackets, but I had to go down one size for the Transport.
