 Waterproof
A waterproof jacket that leaks at the seams is not
waterproof! That's why Barbour insist that all their
garments are constructed with special double rolled
seams. Even the thread they use is especially treated so
that it seals the needle holes!
Special
heavy duty zips.
Unlike some synthetic zips which rapidly wear with use,
Barbour's big tooth, corrosion proof metal zips, just
improve with use. Two way, for ease of movement and
access to internal pockets, the big ring pull can still
be operated with gloves or numb fingers.
Solid
Brass Studs
All Barbour snap studs are solid brass with an oxidized
finish. Totally weather and corrosion proof, they are
also of a self locating ball & spring loaded socket
type, ensuring years of trouble free performance.
Special
Collars
All Barbour collars are lined with hard wearing Corduroy
(except Durham) This is for warmth and practicality, they
also have reinforced interlinings to help them keep their
shape, and to keep them upright when required in wind and
rain.
Horse
Sense
Another example of Barbours understanding customer needs,
is the double rear vent and gusset on the 'Bedale
Horseriding Jacket' which prevents water running on to
the saddle.
Performance
Cuffs
All models normally used for fishing or shooting have
adjustable storm cuffs with Velcro fastenings which can
be tightened to prevent water running down the arm, while
the Bedale has convenient elasticated storm cuffs.
Practical
Pockets
It take four pieces of fabric apart from the flap to make
a Barbour Bellows pocket, they even have rounded corners
to prevent snagging on rough terrain. Side pockets are
lined with insulating moleskin fabric.
No SweatBarbour thornproof jackets are waterproof and
windproof, however the fabric retains tiny 'pores' which
allow the passage of water vapour, allowing it to breath,
preventing condensation on the inside which can cause
rapid cool down after excercise.
Wholly
Thornproof
If you've ever wondered why Barbour waxed cotton jackets
are known as "Thornproof" Try going near a
healthy briar, rose bush or thicket, in a synthetic
jacket!! Even in the event that a Barbour jacket does get
torn ( No Fabric will resist barbed wire frences) it can
be repaired and returned to fully waterproof condition
again.
The
Wind chill Factor
When the wind gets up and the temperature goes down,
another virtue of Barbours Thornproof fabric emerges. It
is completely windproof and therefore helps to retain
body warmth - properties that are further enhanced by the
addition of one of Barbours special 'Warm Pile Linings'
designed and sized especially for your particular style
of jacket.
Hoods
for Total Protection
Barbour has two sizes of studded hood to attach to the
rear of the corduroy collar. A standard size for
retaining maximum vision, and a large size for maximum
protection with the collar up storm flap closed and hood
fitted, even the most determined storm stays on the
outside.
After
Sales Service
Without doubt, the world leader in after sales repair,
reproofing and alteration of wax cotton jackets. Barbour
Jackets of all ages and conditions are welcomed back at
the factory for refurbishment at very modest cost. Simply
return the jacket to any Barbour stockist or to one of
one of the overseas subsidiaries listed in the handbook
that comes with each jacket.
By
Appointment
For those in the world who reside outside the British
Commonwealth, an explanation of the three Coats of Arms
above the Barbour Logo , may be helpful. They represent
the Royal Warrants of Queen Elizabeth II, HRH Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, and Prince Charles, the Prince
of Wales. The Royal Warrants mean that Barbour has been
appointed to supply these Members of the British Royal
Family And while this honour carries great prestige it
also carries great responsibility for a recipient
Manufacturer to maintain the very highest standards of
quality.
