Barbour Lifestore

Barbour was established in 1894 in the Market Place in South Shields, UK. Today, the still family-owned company located in Simonside, South Shields. Although it sources products from around the globe, Barbour’s classic wax jackets are still manufactured by hand in the factory in. In 2004, Barbour started working with Lord James Percy to develop the design and marketing of its flagship shooting clothing range – the Northumberland range. Technically advanced and highly acclaimed in 2005, Barbour’s Northumberland range won the Shooting Industry Award for best clothing product, and more recently, the Linhope 3-in-1 won the Shooting Industry Award for best clothing product, 2008. Broadening out from its country-wear roots, today the heritage and lifestyle clothing brand produces items designed for a full lifestyle wardrobe. As well as jackets and coats, the Barbour wardrobe also includes pants, shirts, knitwear and accessories. Nevertheless, in whichever area the company now operates, it remains true to its core values as a family business which espouses the unique values of the British Countryside and brings the qualities of wit, grit and glamour to its beautifully functional clothing.
