If Barbour was a car, it would likely be a land rover, and if it was boots, it would be wellies, that’s for sure. Just quintessentially British, yet very practical. For a sizable part of its history– more than a century – it has been known in the country mainly as the supplier of men’s and women’s sports and activity clothes. Almost undestroyable Barbour wax or waterproof jackets are indispensable for any outdoor pursuit that suggest quite harsh weather conditions. But functionality does not always catch up with fashion, and although nowadays “Barbour’s collections are more contemporary than in the past, there’s still a somewhat of a preconception in some people minds regarding Barbour’s clothes being “for older” and “not cool”. But, after all, it’s you, who will be the judger. Though you might find that the brand’s outlet at Carnaby Street has a larger and more updated selection of clothes than any other Barbour’s shop in London.
