Barbour

We’re delighted to introduce Barbour clothing to Feather & Stitch, a brand that perfectly balances British heritage with modern style.

Founded in 1894 by John Barbour in South Shields, in the North East of England, Barbour began by creating durable, weatherproof garments for sailors and fishermen facing the harsh British climate. Today, over 130 years later, Barbour remains a fifth-generation, family-owned company, still crafting its iconic Bedale and Beaufort wax jackets by hand in South Shields.

Barbour clothing has become synonymous with timeless British style. From signature wax jackets and quilted coats to knitwear, shirts, dresses and accessories, every piece is designed with practicality, longevity and understated elegance in mind. The brand’s commitment to quality extends beyond purchase, with its renowned re-wax and repair service helping customers extend the life of their Barbour jackets for years to come.

At Feather & Stitch, our Barbour clothing edit has been carefully curated for women who want effortless style that works for real life.

Our collection focuses on the pieces Barbour does best:

These are investment pieces you’ll return to season after season - functional, flattering and unmistakably Barbour.

Heritage Meets Modern Style

While rooted in tradition, Barbour clothing continues to evolve through thoughtful design and creative collaborations. Previous partnerships with Chloé and Alexa Chung have reimagined Barbour’s heritage for a contemporary audience, bringing a fresh perspective to this iconic British brand.

Today, Barbour remains as relevant as ever, combining its heritage craftsmanship with modern silhouettes, colours and fabrics that fit seamlessly into a contemporary wardrobe.
