Barbour Tartan Check Shirt

Barbour is a renowned British heritage and lifestyle brand founded in 1894 by John Barbour in South Shields, North East England. Known worldwide for its iconic waxed cotton outdoor jackets, the brand has expanded into a full range of countryside and casual lifestyle apparel, including cotton shirts, knitwear, and accessories.

While Barbour's signature classic wax jackets are still famously made and repaired by hand at its factory in Simonside, South Shields (United Kingdom), non-outerwear apparel items such as cotton flannel and tartan shirts are produced through global contract manufacturers, primarily located across Portugal, Turkey, India, and other specialized textile hubs.

Barbour remains a proudly family-owned private business, held by J. Barbour & Sons Ltd through family trusts and overseen by the fifth generation of the Barbour family. In Switzerland and continental Europe, Barbour products are distributed through European subsidiaries and specialized premium fashion retailers.
