Brand: Barbour International

Barbour International has been producing motorcycle clothing since 1936. Each piece is imbued with the brand’s long history of motorcycling heritage and offers both fashion pieces inspired by the biking style, and high-performance technical wear for those who ride themselves. Keen motorcyclist Duncan Barbour founded the range with the A1 one-piece wax cotton suit called the ‘Barbour International’. It was developed specifically for the 1936 International Six Day Trials and went on to become so popular that many of the riders wore it throughout the 50s, 60s and 70s, including the actor Steve McQueen, in 1964. Today, the brand use contemporary fabrics, as well as their original wax-cotton innovation, to create men’s and women’s wear collections that are woven with an authentic biker aesthetic.
