Barbour has been woven into the fabric of British outerwear since the late 19th century, with roots tracing back to the rugged coastline of South Shields in 1894. Originally crafted to shield sailors and seafarers from the unforgiving North Sea, Barbour’s early designs focused on resilience — oilskin garments built to endure the harshest maritime conditions. That same spirit of durability and practicality still defines the brand today.
Now, Barbour for women brings that legacy into a modern lifestyle wardrobe. Whether it's the Barbour Beadnall Wax Jacket, made with weatherproof waxed cotton and finished with tartan linings and a corduroy collar, or a women’s Barbour quilted jacket, each style is ideal for countryside strolls or city layering, blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary style.
Barbour’s evolution has seen it move from docks to runways, with collaborations from GANNI to Moncler injecting fresh energy into its timeless silhouettes, proving that tradition and trend can coexist.
Yet, the brand remains proudly British — still family-owned, and still manufacturing some of its classic wax jackets in the very town where it all began.
Whether you're braving the elements or simply embracing effortless style, women’s Barbour clothing offers more than just outerwear — with knitwear and lifestyle pieces a symbol of enduring quality and understated elegance. From muddy festival fields to crisp autumn walks, Barbour jackets are made to be lived in, loved, and passed down.
