Barbour Lifestyle

About Barbour Lifestyle

Barbour began in 1894 in South Shields, in the North East of England, when John Barbour supplied oilskins to sailors, fishermen and mariners. The family business remains in South Shields, where the Bedale and Beaufort wax jackets are made by hand and where worn jackets are re-waxed and mended. Barbour Lifestyle menswear is shaped by the British countryside, with waxed and quilted jackets, brushed cotton shirts, knitwear, logo caps, scarves and holdalls. Barbour Re-loved gives old waxed jackets a fresh start, with each one hand-restored at the South Shields factory. A partnership with Norbit brings Japanese precision together with British heritage. Barbour is sold in over 55 countries.
