Barbour began in 1894 in the Market Place in South Shields, in the North East of England, where it remains today. This hugely successful family business, continues to trade from the Barbour headquarters in South Shields and whilst products are both sourced and sold around the world, it still manufactures and repairs many of their classic wax jackets in the factory in Simonside.

Whilst the reputation of their famous waxed cotton Barbour jacket is synonymous with quality and durability, the Barbour range has continued to expand and its vast range includes shirts, knitwear, footwear, jackets, coats and more - for men, women, children - and even dogs! Capturing the unique values of the British Countryside in every item they create, Barbour brings the qualities of 'wit, grit and glamour' to their beautifully functional clothing. The quality and durability of all Barbour products is second to none – which is why we are such keen purveyors of their products here at John Norris. 

Our collections include Barbour Jackets and Coats, Barbour Waistcoats, Gilets and Vests, Sweaters and Shirts and many more.  Checkout the Barbour Size Guide to help you select the correct fit for your Barbour Clothing and Footwear. Also see the Barbour Fabric Glossary for details of the various types of fabrics Barbour use in their clothing.
