Barbour Countrywear

Barbour is built around practical clothing that fits easily into everyday country life. Wax jackets, quilted jackets, gilets, shirts, knitwear and accessories all work together, so it is easy to build an outfit around one or two reliable Barbour layers.

For men, the range usually starts with a wax jacket, checked shirt or fleece gilet. For women, quilted jackets, relaxed shirts, knitwear and scarves give the same practical Barbour feel in softer shapes and colours. The clothing is easy to wear for town, travel, weekends, dog walks and days when the weather cannot quite make up its mind.

Start with men’s Barbour clothing or women’s Barbour clothing, or narrow it down with Barbour wax jackets, Barbour quilted jackets, Barbour gilets, Barbour shirts, Barbour knitwear and Barbour accessories.

Barbour at Livingston

Livingston’s current Barbour range includes waxed and quilted jackets, gilets, knitwear, shirts, casual clothing, footwear and accessories. Availability varies by style and size; the linked collections show the categories currently represented.

Fit and style

Barbour fit varies between heritage, regular and more tailored styles. Compare each product page’s stated fit and measurements rather than relying on the same size across every jacket, shirt or knitwear range.

Choosing from the range

Choose a wax jacket for traditional weather protection and a finish that develops character with wear, a quilted or fleece layer for lighter warmth, or shirts and knitwear for everyday layering. Check each product page for the confirmed fabric, fit, care and country-of-origin details of the individual style.
