Barbour original wax jackets and modern layers
Barbour began in 1894 in South Shields to protect fishermen from driving rain, and that legacy built a global reputation for weatherproof clothing. Country sportsmen and city visitors both trust its waxed cotton and quilted jackets for reliable warmth.
The classic Beaufort and Bedale wax jackets offer roomy corduroy collars, hand-warmer pockets and adjustable cuffs. The slim Merino jumpers layer well beneath quilted gilets for chillier mornings.
Women and men look for blue and olive waxed cotton coats at flash sales to make their style more rugged. You could pair a low-profile wax jacket with heavyweight jeans and hiking boots and look through designer collaborations on bags and caps to add a little extra to your outfit.
Find the best clothing by Barbour for rain or shine
Clothing by Barbour includes everything from breathable rain shells to insulated quilted jackets with synthetic fill. The regular and slim fits suit layered looks, and the perforated linings and vented backs help regulate temperature.
Tuck a flocked fleece hooded sweatshirt beneath for extra warmth. The lightweight waterproof smocks fold into pockets easily when the skies clear. If you're looking for playful contrast, you could grab a feather dress and throw over a fleece at an evening barn party or something similar.
Casual wax overshirts in heavier cotton blends are excellent during showers, while the Barbour quilted gilets lock in core heat on chilly mornings and work best during snowy days.
Barbour for countryside strolls and city breaks
You can match a lightweight Barbour hooded raincoat with tapered waterproof trousers and ankle boots when storms threaten, and stow your gloves in zip pockets and clip a torch to utility loops to make sure you're ready for anything.
Think about slipping into cropped trousers and loafers for gallery visits and grabbing a crossbody bag to keep your phone and other valuables safe while you explore.
For creative weekend markets, layer a chunky wool scarf over a wax overshirt, or try loose-fit dungarees over merino tees for easy movement and comfort.
