Barbour

British waxed jacket

Barbour is a British clothing brand founded in 1894, best known for its waxed cotton jackets that became emblematic of country living and outdoor pursuits in the UK.

The distinctive quilted and waxed garments are associated with rural aristocracy, hunting, and a certain understated English style.

Owning a Barbour jacket signals a connection—real or aspirational—to traditional country life.
