The 417 EDIFICE x Barbour Old Bedale revisits the original prototype of Barbour's iconic riding jacket through an exclusive collaboration that balances heritage details with modern versatility. The design retains the original chest flap pockets while introducing a spindle waist cord that allows the silhouette to be adjusted for different fits and layering. Cut with a relaxed profile, the jacket can be worn loose over knitwear and sweatshirts or cinched for a more tailored shape.
The collaboration is constructed from a cotton-polyester peach weather cloth with a lightly brushed finish that delivers a soft texture while maintaining structure. The fabric offers a refined alternative to traditional outerwear materials, complementing the jacket's British-inspired design and everyday functionality. By pairing the Old Bedale's archival design with updated proportions and adjustable styling, the release brings one of Barbour's earliest silhouettes into a contemporary wardrobe.
