History

Founded in 1894 by John Barbour in South Shields, the company initially supplied waterproof skins to mariners and laborers. It gained historical significance by providing uniforms for British submarine crews during World War II. The brand holds multiple Royal Warrants, cementing its status in British cultural history. In fashion, it transitioned from utilitarian workwear to a staple of both traditional country attire and contemporary urban streetwear.
