Barbour’s factory outlet store in Jarrow, near Newcastle
The Barbour factory in Jarrow, near Newcastle,
is a vital part of the heritage brand which was
first established in 1894 – and it’s still the site
for more than 100,000 jackets to be handmade
each year. The man who set up the company,
John Barbour, established it to provide simple,
rugged clothing for people who worked in
the various industries in the surrounding
area – such as shipbuilding, farming, fishing
and activities such as shooting, driving and
walking in extreme conditions.
Since then, of course, the brand has evolved
and the ranges widened, to encompass a full
lifestyle wardrobe, having also developed
clothing for the military, motorsports and as
an international fashion brand. These days,

it’s pretty standard to see celebrities
such as Alexa Chung sporting an item such as a
classic Barbour jacket at Glastonbury.
The quality of Barbour’s garments are well-
known – the wax jackets are made to last, and
some 20 years after purchase, customers can be
found sending their item back to the factory to
be re-waxed ready to go again! So, bearing in
mind the long-lasting nature of their products,
you’re probably saving money in some ways
anyway. However – to add to that, there is a
factory outlet shop near the factory – a spacious
showcase of Barbour’s products where you can
buy the latest designs as well as those on sale –
with bargains of up to 70% off!
Barbour’s ranges now cover everything from
traditional outerwear to knitwear, sweatshirts,
footwear, tops, trousers and accessories, for
men, women and children, so if you’re going to
be in the area and know you’re looking to get
some good-quality clothes at bargain prices,
it’s well worth a visit. The location in Jarrow
is about a 20-minute drive from Newcastle’s
town centre.
