Barbour
Barbour started out in South Shields in 1894, making oilskins for sailors and fishermen. More than a century on, the family business is best known for its waxed cotton jackets. Its online shop carries the full line for men and women, from outerwear and knitwear to wellingtons and bags. Orders can be delivered or picked up from a Barbour store.
About Barbour
Beyond the wax jacket
The waxed jacket is the headline, but the range runs much wider. Showerproof jackets are there for rainy days too. There are shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and knitwear for layering, plus dresses for women. Wellingtons and bags round things off, and the Barbour Tartan turns up on many pieces.

Good to know
Barbour runs a Wax For Life scheme that encourages owners to re-wax and repair jackets so they last longer. A Re-loved programme gives pre-owned Barbour pieces a second life. Gift cards are sold, which helps if you are unsure of someone's size. Blue Light Card members and Troopscout users can access discounts for key workers and the armed forces. Payment is by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or PayPal.
Sustainability at Barbour
Barbour is committed to sustainability through initiatives like the 'Wax For Life' program, encouraging customers to re-wax and repair their jackets to extend product lifespan and reduce waste.
