BARBOUR COLLECTIONS AND FITTING GUIDE
The original country outfitters, Barbour have come a long way since their beginnings in the late 1800s. Today, they hold strong on their classic designs and innovate new pieces season after season; redefining country style and pushing the boundaries of ready-to-wear fashion while staying true to their heritage on the North East coast. The extensive Barbour range is split up into four specific collections – Heritage, Lifestyle, Countrywear and Sporting – to help you to choose the perfect piece to suit your lifestyle, and we’ve outlined more information on these collections below. Where available we display fit and individual product measurements on each product page.
HERITAGE - The Heritage Collection is Barbour’s most fashion forward collection featuring on-trend designs with contemporary tailoring. This means you will find both over-sized, relaxed fits alongside slim fits that sit flush to the skin and create a slender silhouette. On each individual product page you will find details of that garment’s specific fit, therefore we recommend considering these fits when making a purchase.
LIFESTYLE - The Lifestyle Collection is the most versatile range featuring the slim, tailored, regular, and relaxed fits to provide style and comfort. Perfect for town or country, the Lifestyle Collection includes smart, casual and practical pieces for everyday wear.
COUNTRYWEAR - As the name suggests, Barbour’s Countrywear collection is designed for a life lived outdoors. Largely made up of regular or relaxed fits for freedom of movement, this collection features Barbour’s classic designs including the Bedale Waxed Jacket and Liddesdale Quilt.
SPORTING - The Sporting Collection is a technical range of clothing crafted specifically for country sports. Within this collection you will find specific sporting pieces such as technical country sports jackets, gaiters and garter flashes. The Sporting Collection is cut to a relaxed fit with chest tolerances built in to accommodate the movements needed for country sports.
BARBOUR FIT GUIDE - Within the Barbour family you will find three distinctive fits across the Heritage, Lifestyle, Countrywear and Sporting collections. For many of our Barbour products, you will also find individual product measurements in the description on the product page. Below you will find a breakdown of the different fits, however if you are in any doubt please contact us for further assistance or guidance. We own lots of Barbour products ourselves and are only too happy to give advice based on our first hand experience.
SLIM FIT - The slim fit is a streamlined fit designed to flatter and follow the body’s contours. Slim fit garments are designed to fit close to the body with few or no layers worn beneath. Slim fit is generally the slimmest fitting of the various fits as it is quite figure hugging it is best suited to slim body types.
TAILORED FIT - The tailored fit is more generous than the slim fit, although it is still designed to give a more figure hugging silhouette than the relaxed or regular fits.
REGULAR FIT - The regular is Barbour’s most versatile fit. It is not as close fitting as the slim fit as it has enough room for more freedom of movement and for additional layers to be worn beneath where appropriate.
RELAXED FIT - The relaxed fit is a more generous fit than the tailored and regular fits. It is a generous fit designed to enable additional layers to be worn beneath whilst preserving freedom of movement. It is suited to a range of body types, particularly those with a larger build.
