BARBOUR
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Barbour must be deeply loved. They’ve been making their waxed canvas jackets in the UK since their 1894 creation by John Barbour and those jackets have been worn over the years by fishermen, motorcyclists, and monarchs. And while many have attempted to replicate the success of the Barbour jackets, there are few clothing designs with as much history and as great and powerful a following.
Like most workwear brands, Barbour had humble beginnings. In 1894, John Barbour founded J. Barbour & Sons and established his company as an importer of oilcloth. However, the company quickly distanced itself from the competition by perfecting a pre-existing process of waxing cotton with paraffin wax. Previous methods had used linseed oil, which was prone to crack at low temperatures and was generally less breathable and comfortable.
