Just bought my beacon jacket. It fits me like a glove . Very nice and well built jacket. Can’t wait to wear it out this autumn or in a cold summer night.

I bought a Beacon Sports jacket when it was Dept. B and have mine in blue (no longer available), I did this as already have a Barbour Utility wax jacket in Olive. The Utility is medium, but I had to get the Beacon sports jacket in large. It’s probably got a bit more room to layer up underneath as a large than my medium Utility. I did actually send mine back to Barbour to have the sleeve linings redone, they were a nylon lining and Barbour changed it to a cotton lining (matching the tartan in the rest of the coat lining), it became clammy quite quickly as wasn’t breathable with the nylon. Clearly a few folk had the same complaint as it was changed for free under guarantee, it was not a rush job but did get it back eventually and very pleased with it. Still tempted by an Olive Beacon sports jacket for a bit more Bond appeal, but so far resisted the temptation…

Go on, give into temptation! We've got great stock and prices on the Beacon right now. I even think I have one with your name on it...

@@michaelstewartmenswear2397 I think I’ll wait until the new year before making any purchases, I’m set for wax jackets at the moment. Can you tell me if the sleeve linings are cotton or nylon in the current jacket?

Interesting about getting Barbour to change the lining. I loved my Dept B Beacon but frankly it became unwearable due to it just being unbreathable. I might try Barbour to see what they can do. Far too clammy to wear otherwise.

@@Mark-yq1zr yeah, I struggled with it at the start to be honest. They changed it under warranty as well (can’t guarantee they still do), sadly I think warranty repairs are lower priority so it was away a couple of months, but was definitely worth it! Hope that helps you bud!

I got one as soon as I saw Daniel Craig in Skyfall - I’ll never be able to carry off his style, but I do love this jacket. It is very versatile and I use it a lot - I’ll wear it over a shirt and tweed waistcoat, with jeans and it looks great or a pullover instead of the waistcoat. Mine is now well used but has character. I’d say the only drawback is it’s not very breathable so get the layering right otherwise you’ll be sweating in no time!

If you feel its a bit of a sweat bag, ask the inner liner to be removed. Barbour added a plastic liner between the waxed cotton and the inner liner for extra weather protection, but it makes it nearly impossible to wear on active walks. I had removed this liner from mine and now its perfect!

@@black.raven.adventuresThere are five versions of the Skyfall jacket. The Beacon Sports Jacket reviewed here has a green lining in the sleeve instead of a tartan lining. I don’t have my jacket here with me but I believe it may be polyester. It does make your arms sweat. However, this version does not have the extra middle lining in the sleeve.

It’s an interesting jacket. The large is huge! The sleeves have to be taken in. The body is like an XL. I bought one in medium hoping it would fit better. The medium arms are perfect but the body is like a small. What gives????

Barbour sizing is always one to watch out for! For the Beacon I size up one from my usual size, thankfully it is an easy style to have altered if the sleeves come up a little long

Hi, accent got me on your chest size, did you say 38? I’m a 40” 180cm tall, nowhere here in Australia to try one on, looking at purchasing from you online.

Hi Chris, I'm am a 38" yes. I think a L should be suitable for you. Possibly an XL if you're wanting to layer a lot underneath. Let me know if you have any other questions or send us a message on sales@michaelstewart.co.uk

I’m a 42R and my L fits a bit snug, basically like a 40R. It still fits me, but I’d love an extra inch or two in the shoulders.

You said you were a 38“ chest? I noticed you wear the medium, how do you like the fit? Would you prefer a large? I am 5‘11 168lbs with a 39.7 inch chest. Would you recommend a medium or large?

As mentioned in the video I am wearing a Medium but it does sit on the slim side. I'd typically recommend sizing up and if I were to be purchasing one for myself I'd take a Large. Thank you for your question!

The buttons do not go all the way to the bottom, it is a 'sports coat' style which looks similiar to a blazer etc. I hope this helps :)
