Kids' Barbour® Beaufort jacket

I was excited to try this jacket because I saw that other women had luck with wearing it. I am usually 12 or 14 in sweaters, so I tried the XL. Unfortunately, the shape of this jacket is just too awkward. You can kind of tell from the picture, but it completely erased my shoulders. This is due to both the lack of shoulder shape in the jacket and the relatively large collar. The sleeve openings are also quite large, and would likely be uncomfortable and let a lot of air in. I loved the quality and the look of it when I wasn't wearing it, but unfortunately I will have to return it. I still give it 4 stars because it isn't meant to be worn by women, and I would recommend it for kids due to the quality.

I LOVE this jacket! I had been looking at Barbour jackets for years but couldn't bring myself to spend $400. I ordered this one in an XL and XXL and ended up keeping the XXL. I am 5'2, 110lbs, and 30ddd. The XL fit me but was a bit snug when I wore multiple layers underneath, so I ended up keeping the XXL. It hits below my hip and covers my bottom so I can wear it with leggings. It is definitely less fitted than the women's Beadnell, but it still has the classic Barbour look. The jacket isn't particularly warm on it's own, but it is very water proof and wind proof, so with layers it can keep you very warm--it was around 30 degrees here today and I was plenty warm in this jacket, a painter tee, and a cashmere sweater. I would absolutely recommend this jacket!

This is the world's most perfect jacket. It will survive a full family of kids for several generations.
