If you are considering  the choice of a Barbour Jackets, and are stuck between a waxed jacket or a quilted jacket then you need to think about intended use.

The major difference between these two jackets is that the waxed jacket is waterproof, whereas the quilted jacket could be considered at best water repellent.

Barbour Beaufort Jacket

The wax jacket is more of a coat/outerwear garment –  it is a very versatile piece. Ideally suited to rough outdoor wear and yet can also be used as a dressy jacket to be worn over a jacket or a suit.

The quilted piece is a replacement for a sweater or light jacket and, as such, will be worn as a neat fit and in some cases depending on the weather it can be worn as a layer under a waxed jacket for extra warmth.

Barbour Chelsea Quilted Jacket

The quilt jacket is a great lightweight warm layer very practical and hardwearing, easily washed and quickly dried it will become a favourite in your wardrobe and worn more than you may expect.
