What is the difference between the Classic and orginal Barbour Bedale ?

Question

I'm trying to buy a barbour jacket over the internet. The classic Bedale looks longer than the original but they both say they are the same length. does anyone know the difference?

Answer 1

What? My first Barbour jacket is from 1985 and still OK, just a bit too heavy since it's a Northumberland. I have a Mark Phillips and a Burleigh from around 1988 and both are still fine. Is that wearing out fast? Maybe the previous person bought a fake?

Answer 2

Have you had a Barbour before.......they wear out very quickly that's all I know......
