Story
An archival waxed jacket originally built for fishermen
First designed in the ‘80s, the Barbour Spey was cut shorter so anglers could wade deep without soaking their kit. Decades later, it’s back—with all the heritage details intact and a slimmer, more modern cut. The 6oz waxed cotton shell shrugs off wind and rain, while the soft corduroy collar and traditional throat flap keep the chill off when the weather turns. Two lower jetted pockets handle the essentials, and the chest D-ring is a nod to its sporting roots. Whether you’re casting a line, strolling city streets, or want a piece of Barbour history in your rotation, this one’s as functional as it is iconic.

How to Measure
- Your Chest: Measure under your arms around the widest part of your chest, keeping the tape level across the front and back to get an accurate measurement
- Your Waist: Measure around your waist where the top of your underwear sits
- Your Arm Length: Start at the center of the back of your neck, measure straight across to the edge of your shoulder bone, and then follow the natural curve of your arm to the middle of your hand. Note: this one is much easier with a partner

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.
