Story
A full-zip lambswool cardigan with rugged elbow patches
Barbour’s never been shy about adding a little utility to their heritage staples, and the Essential Patch Zip Through is proof. Knit from pure lambswool for serious warmth and softness, it’s the kind of layer that’s built to see you through brisk commutes, pub nights, and everything in between. Alcantara elbow patches bring that field-ready durability, while a full-zip front makes it easy to throw on and go. Ribbing at the collar, cuffs, and hem keeps the fit sharp, and the classic cut means it layers just as well over a shirt as it does a worn-in tee. In short, it’s a timeless cardigan that’s as ready for the long haul as you are.

About Barbour
What started in 1894 in the small coastal town of South Shields, England has grown into the cultural titan we know today, recognized by The Queen and worn by a different kind of royalty: James Bond. Fortunately for us, Barbour never forgot where they came from. Maybe that’s because they never actually left. Five generations later, this family-run business still operates in South Shields, bringing wit, grit and glamour to its beautifully functional clothing inspired by the British Countryside. They may be best known for their waxed cotton garments, but every piece of clothing they design is built on the same founding principles of quality, attention to detail, durability, and being fit for purpose.
