Barbour was founded in 1894 to fulfil the clothing needs of sailors, fishermen, river, dock and shipyard workers as they faced the elements. Most recently, Barbour has been building its reputation as not only a designer concerned with function, but also with contemporary fashion. Barbour jackets as available at Diffusion indulge that sought after country chic, which rings with British nostalgia. Despite moving with the times, the products at Barbour do not lose their charm- that hint of a family run business and great institution, which “brings the qualities of wit, grit and glamour to its beautifully functional clothing”. UK delivery only on Barbour.
