Barbour sizing

Hi everyone,
I'd be interested in buying a Barbour Beacon 'Bedale' but the problem is, due to restrictions here in Italy, I can't go and try the stuff on. Luckily, I've found a deal on Internet. The only problem is the sizing.
For reference I'm 5ft10, 32 waist, 36 chest. Broader shoulders and slim yet muscular building. Do you think an S should go? I've searched for info and found that the Beacon line should be more slim fit compared to the traditional Bedale. Just in case, I also have a tailor, so it wouldn't be a problem for minors adjustments.
Thanks in advance
P.S. Do you have any experience about the Barbour 'Munro', always for the sizing?

I have purchased a Beacon for someone who is 5ft10, 31 waist, and 35 chest, slim shoulders and the Medium fits wonderfully.
Beacon Skyfall!
Hi Mattia,
I'm very similar in measurements to you, and have always gone with M for Barbour brand jackets; though I do not have personal experience with the ones you mention, I'm confident M should fit you well if you want a tailored fit. Many do prefer to size up to get better water protection if they are using the jacket in the country but that's not a good look in my opinion.
Good luck with your purchase! -{

I've written to Barbour's official site too to have another opinion. What do you think?
I think you need a medium for the Beacon jacket. I’m 36-38 and a medium is quite snug on me.
Sometimes think I should have had a large ! Which ridiculous!
Good luck!
Did you purchase the jacket in the end?
Having researched this particular model I agree a small does seem more appropriate, the Bedale is not a trim cut like the lutz or sport / To Ki To models are.
If you look on End Clothing they have this particular jacket on a model 6ft 1inches tall with a 35" chest and the medium looks rather spacious on him.
I just received my Lutz wax jacket in Medium and the fit is tailored but not tight, I can fit a thick jumper underneath for warmth.
I actually removed the throat latch and buckle too as:
1. Who's going to faff with a throat latch;
2. It looks alot more 'clean' and similar to the Skyfall original.
Anyway good luck!
