Beaufort Waxed Cotton Jacket
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Rewaxing service indefinitely ($50) — jacket comes back looking new
Barbour's Beaufort is the country-jacket archetype: 6oz Sylkoil-waxed 100% cotton, corduroy collar, two-way zip, four bellows pockets. Made in South Shields, England since 1894 — the Beaufort cut itself dates to 1983 and hasn't meaningfully changed. The reason r/BuyItForLife rates it is the rewaxing service: Barbour will rewax, repair, and reproof your jacket indefinitely (~$50 for rewaxing, more for tears and zipper work) at their UK and US service centers. Wax wears off, jacket comes back looking 10 years younger. King Charles wears a 30-year-old Beaufort that's been rewaxed half a dozen times. Tartan lining, brass hardware, leather Barbour patch at the chest.
