Barbour jackets: icons of style, quality, and sustainability over time
Durable, waterproof, and, above all, iconic: we are talking about Barbour jackets, which have been a must-have in outerwear for both men and women for over fifty years. Founded in 1894 by John Barbour in South Shields, in the Northeast of England, the Barbour company is known for its production of jackets and outdoor clothing, with a particular emphasis on weather resistance and craftsmanship quality.
The Barbour brand is so renowned that it is an official supplier of clothing to the British Royal Family. The company has received three Royal Warrants, which attest to its provision of high-quality products to the British royal family. Not only that, in recent years, Barbour has demonstrated a growing commitment to sustainability and responsible production. The company works to reduce the environmental impact of its products and improve ethical practices in its supply chain.
Barbour men's jackets
As previously mentioned, the hallmark of Barbour is undoubtedly its jackets. Barbour offers a variety of men's jackets, each with its own unique and distinct style suitable for different occasions.
The most famous Barbour jackets are undoubtedly the waxed jackets, a true icon of the brand. They are made from water and wind-resistant waxed cotton and are available in various styles, including the renowned "Barbour Bedale" and "Barbour Beaufort." These jackets are perfect for outdoor and leisure activities.
For those who feel the cold more keenly, there are quilted jackets known for their classic style and the warmth they provide. They are ideal for colder days and come in various lengths and models. What truly sets a Barbour jacket apart are the materials it's made of, foremost among them being thornproof fabric, which is an insulating and waterproof material that protects against rain and cold and is particularly resistant to tears and weathering. It is available in three different weights: super lightweight, lightweight, and heavyweight. For a touch of elegance, be sure to explore Barbour's wool and leather jackets.
Barbour, in the men's wardrobe, offers more than just jackets
While the British brand has made its mark in the world of outerwear, it's equally undeniable that Barbour clothing is a guarantee of quality and elegance for everyday wear.
Made from cotton, Barbour men's t-shirts are appreciated for their simplicity and versatility, as are their sweaters and wool cardigans, available with both half-zip and cardigan-style designs.
Barbour's shirts are another symbol of masculine iconicity. Long-sleeved options include the "classic" tartan and striped velvet shirts. Short-sleeved shirts are also versatile and practical, ideal for wearing with jeans or trousers.
