Barbour and 417 EDIFICE have teamed on a special take on the Old Bedale, the earliest form of the label’s popular Bedale jacket. The collaboration keeps the chest flap pockets that mark the original and adds a waist modification that gives the classic outerwear new adjustability.
The core change sits at the waist, where a spindle cord lets the wearer draw the jacket in and alter its shape on the fly. That adjustability plays into a relaxed, roomy silhouette designed to layer cleanly over heavier pieces like sweatshirts and knits, so the same jacket can read loose and casual or cinched and tailored depending on how it is worn. Paired with denim or chinos it leans into a standard rotation, while slacks push it toward a more refined mix.
The fabric backs up that versatility. The jacket uses a cotton and polyester peach weather cloth finished with a light surface brushing, a treatment that adds softness while keeping a moderate crispness and body to the material. It is a build that reads traditionally British while carrying the kind of functionality that suits an urban casual wardrobe, which is the balance 417 EDIFICE is aiming for with this exclusive.
That British character traces back to Barbour‘s long history. Founded in 1894 by John Barbour in South Shields, England, the house holds three Royal Warrants and built its name on pairing top-grade Egyptian cotton with Thornproof waxed dressing to deliver both waterproofing and breathability. More than a century on, the brand remains a fixture for farmers, sailors, motorcyclists and military wearers who need durable, protective clothing in harsh conditions, and this Old Bedale extends that legacy into a piece made specifically for 417 EDIFICE.
The 417 EDIFICE x Barbour Old Bedale is available now.
