Barbour like non-waxed 100% cotton Barn Jackets

Tried Barbour Bedale and Beaufort jackets for the first time in-store. It may sound like an oxymoron, although I liked the length and look of Bedale, not sure if I am into how the material feels. Further, I don't need rain resistance and don't really wish to get into rewaxing them over years. Outerwear care for me is a visit to the dry cleaners as needed.

Looking for recs on similar style jackets, with the following features:
  • 100% cotton or natural materials, hence not the "casual" Bedale models, they did have those poly blend ones in store
  • Contrast corduroy collar, hence not chore coats
  • Two way zipper instead of buttons, hence not the LL Bean Barn Coat
It may be too constrained an ask, or perhaps I am being unnecessarily averse to waxed cotton feel and maintenance when everyone swears by them. Would like to get further opinions and potential options I should look at.
