BarbourMade in Europe.
The Bedale and Beaufort wax jackets are still made by hand at the factory in Simonside, South Shields, which is also where the company re-waxes and repairs jackets customers send back. Much of the wider range is made elsewhere, so check the individual garment.
Where is Barbour made?
Barbour makes select lines in United Kingdom; other production is elsewhere.
