Our company headquarters is in Simonside, South Shields. Although it sources products from around the globe, we classic wax jackets are still manufactured by hand in the factory in Simonside and each year over 100,000 jackets are processed via the central, subsidiary and local customer service operations. There are now over 2,000 products across the two seasons and the collections now also cater for ladies and children. The company now has 8 of its own retail shops in the UK, and a presence in 40 countries worldwide including Germany, Holland, Austria, France, the United States, Italy, Spain, Argentina, New Zealand and Japan.

Broadening out from its country wear roots, today the company produces clothing that is designed for a full country lifestyle. As well as jackets and coats, the company wardrobe includes trousers, shirts, socks, mid layers and knitwear. Recently the brand was tipped as one to watch as younger customers discover Barbour’s unique benefits. 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 glamor to its beautifully functional clothing.
