The Barbour Land Rover Collection

The Barbour Land Rover Collection


If there are 2 things that can sum up my life away from the interwebs… it would be Barbour and Land Rover. Imagine how happy I was when a press release landed in my inbox telling me my two favourite things are teaming up!




I’m from a long running, loyal Land Rover family and we currently have a 2014 Freelander 2 and the Mother drives a Discovery. My dream car is still a Defender 90



At last count, between Mr Tramp and I have 7 Barbour jackets between us. Waxed, quilted and polar fleece for winter. Mr T’s favourite is his Game Keeper quilted jacket as it has big pockets for his cartridges and suede patches on the shoulders to help him seat his gun.



Barbour and Land Rover Announce First Collaborative Partnership: ‘Barbour For Land Rover’

Two quintessentially British icons, Barbour and Land Rover have announced their first clothing collaboration for Autumn Winter ‘14. This is the first time that the two brands have officially collaborated.

The partnership draws on both Barbour and Land Rover’s key strengths to deliver a range of clothing built on the shared foundations of capability, design, reliability and style. The result is a range of men’s and women’s apparel collaboratively designed and developed by two great British brands forming: ‘Barbour for Land Rover’ collection. 

Inspired by Land Rover’s contemporary design, the range is a modern interpretation of  the two brands’ traditions. Inspired by the British countryside, the range is designed for a modern savvy customer who demands the high standards of workmanship and finish from their clothing. It matches contemporary tailored shapes with traditional Barbour rugged construction and a touch of country inspired luxury. Traditional country detailing is married with technical modern touches and ergonomically-shaped fits for comfort. A lifestyle collection, the choice of jackets is complimented by quilts, gilets and a range of wax and wool knits, accessories and matching luggage. The women’s wax and quilts are flatteringly cut with smart leather trims and knitwear is soft and luxurious.

Steve Buck, Managing Director, Barbour said “There is a strong synergy between Barbour and Land Rover – we are both established British brands with years of heritage, renowned for our understated style and synonymous with the British countryside. The unrivalled reputation of both our brands is founded upon a long history of producing products of the highest quality that combine modern innovation with tradition and heritage. The new Barbour Land Rover clothing range is fit for purpose, luxurious and stylish and we are delighted and proud to be working in partnership with Land Rover.”

Robin Colgan, Land Rover Global Brand Director, said “This partnership fits perfectly with the Land Rover brand; both marques are revered for their all-terrain and all-weather resilience allowing customers to go about their business whatever the conditions, without compromising on style and comfort. 

“Barbour for Land Rover will produce clothing which will draw from both brand’s rich heritage and shared understanding of how style and functionality work together to culminate in products which are sophisticated, capable, stylish and reliable.”

The collection will be available from August 2014 and will be retailed through Barbour and Land Rover distribution channels worldwide.
