Tailored Nevis Shirt

In 1894, John Barbour opened a shop in South Shields. Through the years, Barbour was an innovator in the clothing industry. In 1936, they developed the motorcycle suit that virtually every British International team wore. In 1939, they manufactured the Ursula suit, which became a standard issue for members of the Submarine Service. Today, the fifth-generation family-run company is a leader in outerwear. They are best known for their waxed jackets, which were developed to handle harsh elements in the northeast English countryside.
