During the outdoor craze of the 1960s, a new technical fabric was introduced in the Northeast of the United States: 60/40 cloth. The name was derived from its fiber content--60% cotton/40% nylon. Originally used for mountain parkas, the cloth became wildly popular almost immediately, achieving a cult following amongst climbers and the like.

With this opportunity to work with Barbour again, in addition to the eight colorways of the 60/40 Bedale, we also wanted to offer a traditional waxed cotton Bedale. This season we chose camo and included a zip-out liner.
