Barbour was founded in 1894 and is still best known for its waxed jackets. Our Barbour for him collection is the men’s range we keep in Maidstone, and it changes with the season, so the honest answer to what we hold is the rail in front of you.
People ask us for Barbour for him boots and for a Barbour for him gift set. Tell us who it is for and we will show you what we actually have, rather than describe a set we may not be holding. The Barbour brand page is the wider story.
This is not a page of one product. If you want boots, ask, and we will show you the footwear we have rather than pretend the whole collection is a boot wall. If you want a waxed jacket, our luxury waxed jackets page gathers Barbour with the other waxed cloth we keep. A gift is easier when you know his size, or when you bring him in.
For footwear sizing, use the Barbour size conversion chart and fit advice. Waxed jackets are collected on our luxury waxed jacket page, where care and re-waxing are set out.
In 1894. That is the date we stand by, and it is why the cloth still looks like itself after more than a century. We are stockists in Maidstone, not the factory, so questions about a particular old jacket are better put to Barbour. Questions about what we have in the shop are for us.
Waxed jackets, above anything else. The men’s range we keep can also include footwear and other pieces, and that mix changes. We will not dress up a shoe as a jacket, or the other way round, to match a search. Come in and see the real thing.
When they are part of the delivery, yes, and we fit them. We will not promise a boot we do not have on the shelf that week. If boots are what you want, say so and we will show you the footwear, then talk about size. Our size guide covers Barbour footwear, not clothing.
It can be, if you know the size or you bring him with you. A surprise in the wrong size is a poor gift, however good the cloth. Tell us the occasion and we will show you what we can actually wrap, rather than invent a gift set. A jacket needs trying on. Footwear needs measuring.
Visit the shop on Gabriel’s Hill in Maidstone to see Barbour for him in the hand, whether that is footwear or a waxed jacket. Start with the Barbour brand page if you want the range beyond this collection.
