Dame Margaret Barbour designed the BedaleĀ® with equestrian practicalities in mind ā with a shorter length, relaxed fit, rear vents and the essential Nylon inner 'drip-strip' that provided resistance to damp from horses seeping into the jacket. Made with medium weight 6oz waxed cotton and fully interactive with optional zip-in thermal liners and hoods, the BedaleĀ® is a brilliant all-year-round jacket.
