Classic Barbour Beaufort Wax Jacket - Fantastic condition, barely worn, size men's medium - Removable quilted vest - Two front pockets Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the Beaufort® was originally designed in 1983 as a sporting jacket. The style and design were inspired by Chairman Dame Margaret Barbour's visits to France where sporting jackets tended to have more features and style than was usually the case in the UK at that time. The name, Beaufort® was chosen to highlight the continental character of the piece.
