Barbour wax jackets have represented British style and first-class quality for over 125 years. They originated from the demand for weatherproof clothing to ensure you were well-dressed even in stormy weather. The process of waxing a fabric to make it weatherproof dates back to the Middle Ages. Since the 1930s, a special process has been used to make cotton fabric water-repellent, windproof, and robust. In 2005, the waxed cotton for which Barbour is now known in models such as the Beaufort and Bedale was developed. This tightly woven cotton made from high-quality yarn makes the wax jackets particularly durable. Barbour's product range now includes various types of wax, giving each model a unique aesthetic, such as the Ashby and Bristol models. The classic Barbour wax jacket is distinguished by its durable corduroy collar and matching storm flap. The extra hand-warmer pockets guarantee comfort on particularly cold days. The spacious pockets, two-way zipper, and classic tartan lining complete the design. One thing is clear: Barbour's waxed jackets are timeless, functional, and practical.
As early as 1921, Malcolm Barbour, the son of company founder John Barbour, recognized the importance of long-lasting garments. By renewing the oil or wax coating on jackets, they remained water-repellent and could thus be worn for many years to come. Today, rewaxing jackets is an integral part of Barbour's service offering. Whether it's the Ashby, Beaufort, Bristol, or Pedale wax jacket, rewaxing is possible for every model.
