How Barbour Jackets Are Professionally Restored | Refurbished

Barbour is a high-end clothing company from the UK. Barbour encourages customers to send their jackets back to be rewaxed once a year. The Barbour team shows us how they restore a Beauchamp jacket by fixing a hole in the jacket, sewing a new button on, rewaxing the jacket, and leaving it to dry.

I have a great appreciation for brands like Barbour that encourage their customers to repair, rather than replace. Barbour craftsmanship is phenomenal as well.

I just got my 17 years old Barbour jacket back from an almost complete restauration and rewaxing. For the past 10-12 years I wore the jacket mainly while hunting or gardening. I craweld through countless thornbushes with it, and still it´s in a great shape. Over the years this jacket gains some sort of patina and it looks even better then the day I bought it. Thanks Barbour for your craftsmanship and your great products!

As an American airman, I was stationed near Ipswich in the early 1980s. A local girl I was dating pushed me into buying a navy Bedale, even though it was expensive for me. "All the royal family wears them, " she said. I didn't date her for long, but 40 years later I still wear the jacket occasionally in the fall. It's a bit tighter around the middle but It has held up well. It sure could use a waxing, though.... the jacket, not the girl. 😉

A worn in and used jacket looks so much better than a new one. So worth repairing and passing down the generations.
Quality control didn't pick up the stiching of the new button. Orginal were all cross pattern, new one was parallel. Small detail, but as a customer that would annoy me.

I used to live about 5 minutes from the Barbour factory.. and have had my jacked for 15 years.. there fantastic and although expensive, well worth the price.

My great grandma used to be on the repair team for discontinued jackets during WW2. When it got bombed in WW2 (South Shields was a major port) She still had to go in when it was missing a wall and half the floors where missing.

Just had my daughters Beaufort re waxed ( circa 25 years old ) came back as new, well worth the expertise barbour provide . 👍 well done to the team !

Got mine 1996. The big pocket on the back was always very practical in my youth to smuggle beer in cinema or clubs. Also the only jacket you still look good dressed the next day after a hangover and drunk sleepover in the bushes on the sidewalk.

In a throwaway culture that is fantastic. Somehow Barbour has passed me by until someone recently gave me a Beaufort and the details were amazing. I now own 3 Barbour jkts and will be using the company's service

For those that don’t know, Barbour is the British equivalent of Filson or Carhartt. They are a workwear brand that has gotten respect for their quality and durability and now sells to many people beyond just British farmers.

I have never heard a Newcastle accent this strong.

These workers we see mending the jacket are more useful to society than 99% of bullshit jobs with fancy titles. I hope they are proud of what they are doing.

My Northumbria is about 32 years old and if you look after them these jackets become heirlooms. I added a hood about 12 years ago and it really improved it. I love my coat.

2005 is considered old now.

Jesus can the clock please STOP already?

it's summer in south america rn and this makes me so excited for winter again i can't wait. i hate the heat

[lohikarhu]

Cool to see, something to learn from.
I wore the Belstaff brand, similar products, as my go-to traveling jacket, beating even Vancouver's rain... I had a crash at about 65 mph, and the waxed jacket had enough "slide" to it that it saved a mighty big bit of damage to my arm, and just went through the outer material, the lining wasn't damaged!
Great gear from Barbour, too!

when was this shot? their sewing machine has passed its safety check at 1:40.

in all seriousness my dad bought his first barbour 42 years ago and i wear it regularly

[npet]

Marvellous job . I reproof mine in the summer on a hot day in the sun . This is my favourite model of 6 Barbour wax jackets ( bought this one in 2003 in Chester ) although the 2006 Northumbria wool lined is very nice too .

[GunCollector]

Just got mine back. First wax in 20 years. Best $70 I ever spent
