The history of “Barbour,” a long-established British brand that men adore
Barbour” is a long-established outdoor lifestyle brand with a long history, founded by John Babur in 1894. Originally, the company provided high-quality oiled cloth jackets for sailors, fishermen, and Gulf Coast laborers working under the irregular weather conditions of the North Sea. During World War I and II, waterproof clothing was supplied to the British Army, and in the 1970s, it was also used for British activities such as hunting, hunting, and horseback riding, gradually becoming a part of the British lifestyle. Today, they are loved by men and women of all ages not only for outdoor use but also for fashion use.

What you need to know about “Waxed Cotton” when wearing BABUA
Waxed cotton with a deep taste is synonymous with Bubur. It is the main material used for Bubur’s regular models, and of course, it is also the material used for the Spey introduced here. By soaking it in oil, it is waterproof and windproof, shutting out cold wind and rain. It has an austere appearance and a rugged texture, and boasts support from men as well. Incidentally, the oil soaked into the fabric will be lost, and along with it, the waterproofness and windproofness will gradually decline, so it is necessary to replenish the oil periodically. It is said to take about three months for the oil to soak into the cotton, so it is best to work on them in the summer in anticipation of wearing them in the fall and winter. Also, if other clothes are stacked on top of the oil without the oil being removed, the oil may soak into those items as well. When storing them, it is recommended that they be stored individually or covered.

Royal Warrant”, the emblem of the British Imperial Warrant, has been changed to two from the Fall/Winter 2022 items.
Bubur is a genuine British Royal Warrant brand, having been granted the title of Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth, Duke of Edinburgh, and Duke of Wales. Until now, BABUA’s tag had three royal warrant emblems, but due to the death of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, this emblem has been changed to two starting with the fall/winter 2022 model year. The number of royal warrants is expected to be changed again after the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.

Bubur Spey features (1) “Short length that enhances style
Among BABUA’s standard jackets, the most distinctive feature of the Spey is its particularly short length. This item was inspired by fishing jackets, and the original model in the past was even shorter than today’s in order to keep it dry when immersed in water. The Spey is a faithful reproduction of that original model, but with a slightly longer length than the original model for a modern update. The short length makes the upper half of the body look more compact, which can be expected to have a leg-lengthening effect, and it goes well with trendy wide or tapered pants. The wide, relaxed fit makes this outerwear easy to wear. You can enjoy a variety of ways to wear it, such as peeking out the inner lining from the hem or adding an arrangement with the double-zip front.
