Barbour was born over 120 years ago in the Market Place in South Shields. It was the brainchild of John Barbour, a Scotsman who recognised the necessity for waterproof, reliable, hard-wearing outerwear in the inclement North East. His oilcloth was a revelation, and Barbour quickly gained a reputation for great quality and innovation. Now in its fifth generation, Barbour still maintains its ties to the North East, its global headquarters remain in South Shields to this day.
