New Lowerdale Quilted Vest
The Barbour New Lowerdale Quilted Vest is a fitted, sleeveless gilet with lightweight polyester insulation and all-over diamond quilting, designed as a layering piece for cold-weather warmth. It features a stand collar, full-length zip closure under a snap flap, two snap-flap pockets, snap-button side vents, and an embroidered Barbour patch at the upper back. It is commonly worn layered with Barbour jackets for added warmth; user feedback notes it may run small, so sizing up compared with Bedale sizing may be considered.

Extra layer for windy days and light showers
The New Lowerdale Quilted Vest is suited to wind protection and light rain showers, per the retailer. It isn't waterproof, so it works as an added layer rather than primary rain gear.[2]
A layering vest that works across seasons
Wear this quilted vest over a t-shirt in warmer weather or over a heavier knit in autumn, or layer it under a Barbour waxed jacket for extra insulation in winter. Its lightweight, thin material makes it easy to layer over or under, and one Reddit commenter says pairing it with an Ashby jacket keeps them warm when it gets cold.[2,4,5,6]
Versatile layering piece for spring to winter, with adjustable fit
Layering under a Barbour wax jacket
Pair the Lowerdale with a waxed jacket for extra insulation. Its lightweight, thin material makes it a good underlayer, and one wearer reports combining it with an Ashby to stay warm in the cold. Note that unlike Barbour's pile or polarquelt liners, it cannot be zipped directly into a jacket.[2,4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| New Lowerdale Quilted Vest: Choose this if you want a lightweight, lightly padded quilted layer to wear under a jacket or over a shirt — one source author describes it as an easy-to-style classic that is not too heavy, and the new regular fit means most shoppers can take their usual size (size down if you preferred the old slimmer cut). Snap-close side adjusters let you cinch the waist toward a more tailored look, and the vest handles wind and light rain showers, though it is not waterproof and should not be your primary rain protection. It is made with a polyester outer, lining, trim and filling, features a stand collar and diamond box quilt, and can be machine washed at 30 degrees Celsius.[1,2,3,6,7] | Liddesdale Diamond Quilted Jacket: Choose this if you want a classic diamond-quilted jacket for smart-casual everyday wear and cool-weather layering over a shirt, with reviewers noting it is surprisingly warm for its weight. It has a 100% polyamide shell with a low-sheen finish, a 100% cotton corduroy point collar that can be raised for extra warmth, full-length snap buttons, snap-button side vents, front patch pockets, and snap adjustment tabs at the back hem, available in Mossy Green and Navy/Midnight Blue. Review-based analysis cautions that the slim fit runs small and restricts thick sweaters underneath, and that the sleeves often run long and may need tailoring, so consider sizing up and budgeting for alterations.[8,9,10,11,12] | Beaufort Waxed Cotton Jacket: Choose this if you want Barbour's iconic relaxed-fit waxed cotton jacket (made since 1983), with water-resistant 6 oz waxed cotton, a soft corduroy collar, and a full-width rear game pocket for carrying larger items. It suits taller wearers per one reviewer's preference and supports zip-in liners and detachable hoods, while owners report decades of heavy use with only minor wear. Note that one reviewer found the handwarmer pocket's cotton moleskin lining slightly lost insulation after hours of wet hands, and the wax naturally develops patina and chalk marks with age and friction.[13,14,15,16,17,18,19] |
