The Anatomy of a Barbour


What makes a Barbour unique?


Barbour's iconic classic wax jackets have been protecting generations of families from the cold and rain for over a hundred years. Made in the North East of England, these jackets are hand crafted, and made to last. Rewax your jacket regularly and like a faithful friend, it will remain with you for a lifetime.

1.    The Corduroy Collar


Soft yet hard-wearing, the corduroy collar is made for warmth as well as practicality.


2.    Classic Ring Pull and Zip


Barbour big-toothed, corrosion-proofed metal zips actually improve with wear. They are made two-way for ease of movement, and access to internal pockets.


3.    Practical Pockets


The capacious bellows pocket is made from four separate pieces of fabric, as well as the flap and drainage eyelets. The round corners avoid wear and snagging and are created by skillful operatives.


4.    Solid Brass Buttons


Barbour press studs are in solid brass with an oxidised finish, making them totally weather and corrosion proof.


5.    Thermal Linings


On colder days, the addition of a thermal lining made from luxury quilting, will make all the difference.


6.    Double Stitched Seams


A double - rolled seam is not an easy or cheap technique, and ensures it remains totally weatherproof.


7.    Chinguard


The chinguard can be fastened easily to bring extra protection from wind and rain.
