Description
A quintessentially British countryside staple reimagined with a relaxed drawstring silhouette and weather-ready waxed cotton construction.
Rooted in Barbour’s heritage of functional outerwear, this drawstring hooded jacket brings a contemporary ease to the label’s time-honored country aesthetic. The relaxed silhouette is defined by its signature waxed cotton outer—a fabric the South Shields-based house has championed since 1894—offering dependable water resistance and a beautifully broken-in patina that develops with every wear.
The adjustable drawstring hood and hem allow the wearer to shape the fit, while the roomy cut layers effortlessly over knitwear and shirting. Thoughtful utility details such as patch pockets at the chest and lower body pay homage to Barbour’s utilitarian roots, making this a piece that transitions seamlessly from windswept coastal walks to urban weekends.
