Barbour

The Barbour story began in 1894 in the Market Place in South Shields. Today the 5th generation family owned business remains in the North East, with Barbour's headquarters in Simonside, South Shields.

Although they source products from around the globe, Barbour's classic wax jackets are still manufactured by hand in the factory in Simonside. 

Barbour remains true to its core values as a family business that espouses the unique values of the British Countryside and brings the qualities of wit, grit, and glamour to its beautifully functional clothing.
