Barbour Bedale Sizing?

What size should I get? Debating whether to get the 36 or 38. I was wearing these with only a shirt underneath but planning to layer underneath with a hoodie, suit, sweaters, etc. First pics are the olive in 36 Second set of pics are the sage in 38 I noticed the cloth in the olive is less waxed so more relaxed and not as stiff as the sage. Measurements 5'7", 150 lbs Chest size: 36.5-37 in Suit size: 40 Shirt size: 15 / 33 in

The 36 is definitely too small IMO, sleeves are much too short, and the 38 is small for my taste.

Damn seriously? And I felt the 38 was already big lol. I noticed that it was bunching up on my upper back. Think I should try a 40? Barbour sizing is so weird. The website says a chest size 37 should get a size 30?

The Raglan sleeve might be messing things up here. But they get a ton softer with wear, and they're supposed to fit relatively loose

For what it's worth I prefer the cooler sage colour with what you're wearing

I'll try the 40 next time I'm in the shop. Do you happen to have pics of you in a barbour? Definitely getting the sage. There wasn't one on the rack sized 36 so just used the olive.

I don't own one but look at how the sleeve hit in these (not bedales but the intended fit is similar) : https://www.thebureaubelfast.com/news/2018/09/engineered-garments-x-barbour

If you want something that's a bit slimmer try the Ashby.

38, I have very similar chest measurements and the exact same jacket, the numbers are meant to be at least an inch larger than your chest size

Not a fan of the Ashby. Not keen on getting a slim fit. I'm looking for a relaxed boxy fit. But i also don't want it to look overly large on me Thanks! I'll look into the 40 as well. At least I've totally ruled out the 36

Aren’t the sleeves suppose to be a little short because they were made to be shooting jackets? If you’ve ruled out the 36, I don’t think you need to get the 40. The 38 looks like a standard Barbour fit to me

That’s what I’ve been reading as well. Thanks!

Yeah np, I was in your exact same position last winter lol. Same height and chest size as you, but 15-20 lbs lighter, trying to decide what Bedale to get. I ended up getting a 34
