What Barbour is
Barbour is a family-owned British heritage outerwear brand, best known for its waxed-cotton jackets and holder of three Royal Warrants for waterproof and protective clothing, selling menswear, womenswear, kidswear, footwear and accessories at a premium price point and broadening from its country and field-sports roots into a wider lifestyle brand.
Price tier: Premium
Ownership: J. Barbour & Sons Limited, privately owned and family-controlled since its founding, now in its fifth generation. Dame Margaret Barbour (Chairman) holds the majority of shares and Helen Barbour (Vice Chair) a large minority stake, with no private-equity or institutional owner.
Formats: Own stores on heritage high streets and in market towns and cities such as London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Windsor, Guildford, Cirencester and Beverley, factory and outlet stores including the South Shields factory store beside its manufacturing site and designer-outlet villages, alongside a large network of independent stockists and department stores.
Growth: Growth is led by geography and channel rather than UK store count: new owned and concept stores internationally, principally in China, a first Middle East store through an exclusive partnership with Apparel Group, and in the UK continued investment in its South Shields factory and its Wax for Life and Quilt for Life repair services. No numeric UK store target has been published.
