Please ID this barbour coat
My guess is either a classic bedale or Ashby. Thoughts?
Edit:
Thinking it's not an Ashby, because all pictures I've seen, the pocket buttons are gold, not black/dark colored.

Certainly a Bedale. Source: The one hanging in my office right this moment.

Bedale or classic

Classic Bedale in olive. Most optimal jacket and color way unless you're really tall.

Hm. I'm 6'4'' but I don't want the jacket any longer than how it looks in the picture.
edit: the guy wearing it looks to be at least 6'2''

Then get the Sylkoil Classic in Olive. I have one. I'm short but it fits pretty close in length to a blazer and the color comes out super well with wear. The sage waxed Bedale is a little too shiny for my taste. Go to Orvis though and try on both. #whoiscigbreak

I disagree; I think the Sylkoil material (which is used for the Classic models) is not as sturdy as the Thornproof material.

Not as sturdy?? Meaning? I found the thornproof waxed ones to be kinda stiff. To each their own though.

I'd say Bedale, which I've heard is a better buy than the Ashby. The Bedale is more functional as far as water-proofing and mobility while wearing it goes. The Ashby is more of a fashion version of the Bedale with non articulated arms and the absence of the knit storm cuffs.
Definitively a Bedale. Ashby has weird fabric outcropping near bottom of wearer's left side zipper.
