Barbour is one of Britain’s most enduring heritage brands, with a story that began in 1894 when John Barbour opened his business in South Shields, in the North East of England. Originally supplying oilskins and protective garments for sailors, fishermen and mariners, the brand was built around clothing made to withstand the worst of the British weather. More than 130 years later, this fifth-generation family-owned business remains firmly rooted in South Shields, where its iconic Bedale and Beaufort wax jackets continue to be made by hand.
At the heart of Barbour is a deep connection to countryside life, practical design and long-lasting craft. The brand’s waxed jackets, quilts, shirts, knitwear, accessories and footwear are shaped by the needs of town and country wear, combining functional construction with unmistakable British character. Key pieces such as the Bedale, designed by Margaret Barbour in 1980, and the Beaufort, introduced in 1983, have become true outerwear classics, admired for their durability, weather resistance and timeless style. Barbour’s motorcycle heritage is equally important, with the International jacket tracing back to 1936 and later becoming a defining piece of British motorcycling culture.
Today, Barbour continues to honour its heritage while moving the brand forward through repair, re-waxing and circularity initiatives such as Wax for Life, Re-Loved and Quilt for Life. These services reflect the brand’s long-standing belief that well-made clothing should be cared for, repaired and worn for years. With Royal Warrants, more than a century of outerwear expertise and a factory still rooted in South Shields, Barbour represents the best of British heritage clothing: practical, dependable and crafted with purpose.
