Barbour Bristol Waxed Jacket – Navy
The Barbour Bristol in Navy combines the practical character of a traditional men's wax jacket with a more tailored, understated shape. Its mediumweight 6oz Sylkoil waxed-cotton outer provides dependable protection in changeable weather while remaining versatile enough for regular everyday wear.
Barbour's familiar details are all present, including a corduroy collar, stud-fastening throat strap, moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets, generous lower bellows pockets and a two-way front zip protected by a studded storm guard. Inside, the tartan cotton lining provides the classic Barbour finish.
Look more closely and the Bristol has several details of its own. The cuffs are open and corduroy lined rather than fitted with knitted inner storm cuffs, the rear is clean without riding-style vents, and the handwarmer pocket welts feature additional detailing. Secure internal storage includes a wallet-style pocket within the front zip stand and a separate zipped inner pocket.
Fit Advice
Tailored without being excessively slim
The Bristol is cut closer through the body than traditional regular-fit Barbour jackets such as the Bedale. For everyday shirts and lighter knitwear, the tailored shape gives a neat silhouette; customers planning heavier winter layering should compare the garment measurements before ordering.
It is also worth keeping the length difference in perspective. A Medium Bristol measures approximately 80cm from the base of the collar to the hem in our comparison, around 3cm longer than the Medium Ashby.
Comparison Guide

The three jackets share plenty of familiar Barbour details, but their fit, cuffs, rear vents, pockets and proportions differ in ways that can affect which one suits you best. Our detailed comparison explains the differences using practical Allweathers measurements and product knowledge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Barbour Bristol waterproof?
The waxed-cotton outer provides useful resistance to rain and wind, but it is not the same as a fully waterproof technical shell. Keeping the wax finish maintained will help preserve its weather resistance.
How does the Bristol fit?
The Bristol has a tailored shape that sits closer through the body than traditional regular-fit Barbour jackets such as the Bedale. Customers wanting room for substantial layers should check the garment measurements carefully.
How does its length compare with the Ashby?
The Bristol is slightly longer rather than dramatically longer. In the Medium garments measured for our comparison, the Bristol is approximately 80cm from collar to hem and the Ashby approximately 77cm.
Does the Bristol have storm cuffs?
It does not have the knitted inner storm cuffs used on the Bedale. Instead, the Bristol has open cuffs with corduroy lining.
Are there rear riding vents?
No. The Bristol has a clean rear without the studded riding-style vents found on the Bedale.
Can I add a Barbour hood or liner?
The Bristol is designed for use with compatible Barbour hood and zip-in liner options, sold separately. Check the relevant accessory sizing before ordering.
Can the Bristol be rewaxed at home?
Yes. Barbour wax dressing can be used to maintain the jacket at home, or you can use Barbour's professional rewaxing service.
How warm is the Bristol?
The Bristol is a mediumweight waxed jacket rather than a heavily insulated winter coat. Its warmth can be adjusted with knitwear or a compatible zip-in liner when temperatures fall.
