The great outdoors is Barbour’s bread and butter. Though fields and forests are synonymous with the brand, from the very beginning, the Barbour story has had a maritime influence. John Barbour set up his first store in South Shields, in the North East of England, in 1894, providing garments for sailors, fishermen, rivermen, and dockers to protect them from the worst of the North Sea weather. Barbour is steeped in coastal cool.
The Barbour Coastal collection casts their seafaring heritage in a contemporary setting. The collection is an amalgamation of Barbour’s history and location, along the North East Coast.

And while the Coastal collection is inspired by the activities on the edge of land, the Barbour Nautical Collection is strongly linked to Barbour’s heritage on the seas. Originally, Barbour designed clothes which would withstand the harsh conditions of the North Sea. In the modern day, this ethos has evolved into a stylish and wearable collection inspired by this rich maritime heritage. It says a lot about the Barbour DNA that the clothing which helped cement its reputation more than 120 years ago continues to inform its evolution today.
One in six adults in the UK regularly engages in some form of outdoor pursuits, whether it be a gentle stroll to exercise the dog or something more strenuous in challenging conditions. Regardless of the activity, it’s essential to select the right tools for the job. Clothing-wise, there are numerous tried-and-tested brands available.
