Barbour International is a motorcycle-inspired line that began with the waxed-cotton suit “Barbour International,” developed by Duncan Barbour, the third generation of the Barbour family in South Shields, England, for the 1936 ISDT (International Six Day Trials). Today, based on a biker look, it offers men’s and women’s apparel and accessories, focusing on waxed and quilted outerwear.

Motorcycling heritage is the ethos of Barbour International.

The Badge Of An Original

• Barbour 1894

  Barbour International originated with a motorcycle wax suit developed in 1936 for the International Six Days Trial (ISDT), and began operating as a standalone line in 2013. While retaining functional details derived from biker and military styles, such as an angled chest pocket, throat strap, and adjustable belt, it differs from the parent brand’s country-oriented core line by giving men’s and women’s collections an urban reinterpretation using materials such as waxed cotton and quilting. Within the group, it is positioned in the more technical and active apparel segment, centered on motorcycle heritage.
