FAQs
What is the history of the Barbour Jacket?
The Barbour Jacket, particularly the iconic waxed cotton jacket, emerged in the 1920s from J. Barbour & Sons, founded in 1894 in South Shields, England. Initially supplying oilcloth for ships, Barbour began producing waterproof garments for sailors and fishermen. The waxed cotton jackets, refined from earlier oilskin technology, were designed to be breathable and weatherproof, ideal for hunting and fishing. Handcrafted in South Shields, styles like the Bedale and Beaufort became symbols of British heritage, worn by royalty and countryside enthusiasts.
What are the differences between Men's Barbour Jackets and Coats?
Men’s Barbour Jackets and Coats differ primarily in length and intended use. Jackets, such as the Bedale and Beaufort, are typically shorter, designed for specific outdoor activities. The Bedale is equestrian-inspired with rear vents for ease of movement, while the Beaufort has additional pockets for hunting. Coats, like the Border and Winter Beaufort Waterproof Parka, are longer, offering more coverage and often a more formal or versatile design, suitable for both countryside and urban settings. Both use durable waxed cotton, but coats may include refined details like leather embellishments.
Are Barbour Jackets and Coats good quality?
Barbour Jackets and Coats are renowned for their exceptional quality. Crafted from high-grade materials like waxed cotton and featuring durable hardware, these garments are built to last. The brand’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its Wax for Life program, which allows customers to repair and re-wax their jackets and coats, extending their lifespan. With a history of supplying the British royal family, Barbour Jackets and Coats are a testament to the brand’s dedication to quality.
What materials are used in Men's Barbour Jackets and Coats?
Men’s Barbour Jackets and Coats are primarily made from waxed cotton, a signature material that provides weather resistance and durability. Other materials include corduroy for collars, tartan cotton for linings, and high-quality hardware like zippers and press studs. These materials ensure both functionality and a classic aesthetic.
Are Men's Barbour Jackets and Coats waterproof or water-resistant?
Men’s Barbour Jackets and Coats are water-resistant due to their waxed cotton construction, which repels rain and wind. While they provide excellent protection in light to moderate rain, they are not fully waterproof. For heavy downpours, a waterproof layer may be needed. Regular re-waxing helps maintain their water-resistant properties.
Which Men's Barbour Jacket or Coat is best for outdoor activities?
For outdoor activities like hiking or hunting, the Barbour Beaufort Jacket and Winter Beaufort Waterproof Parka are excellent choices. The Beaufort Jacket offers a longer length and game pockets, while the Winter Beaufort Coat provides additional warmth and waterproofing. Both feature durable waxed cotton and practical details like handwarmer pockets and storm flaps.
Can I wear a Men's Barbour Jacket or Coat for both casual and smart-casual occasions?
Yes, Men’s Barbour Jackets and Coats are versatile and can be styled for both casual and smart-casual occasions. Pair a waxed jacket with jeans for a rugged look or layer a longer coat over a shirt and chinos for a more polished appearance. Their classic design makes them adaptable to various settings.
What are the most popular Men's Barbour Jacket and Coat styles?
The most popular Men’s Barbour Jacket styles include the Bedale, Beaufort, and Ashby, while top Coat styles feature the Winter Beaufort Waterproof Parka and Swinton Waterproof Coat. These pieces offer a range of fits and features, from shorter jackets to longer coats, all with the same waxed cotton durability.
