A Guide to the Barbour Icons Transport Jacket

Commissioned by Dame Margaret Barbour and crafted by a North East freelancer, the Transport jacket draws from the spirit of Barbour’s 1980s Bedale, Beaufort, and International jackets - reimagined in a shorter, A-line wax silhouette for life in motion. From rugged trails to open roads, the Transport carries Barbour heritage in every stitch.

The Tartan Reimagined Transport delivers iconic style with new details – from jetted zip pockets to a Birchwood Dress tartan yoke and cuff facing.

The Making of the Transport Jacket

Drawing on the enduring character of Barbour’s iconic 1980s styles - the Bedale, Beaufort and International - the Transport distilled their functional details into a shorter, A-line silhouette suited to life in motion. Raglan sleeves allowed ease of movement; welt pockets and a hidden zipped pocket offered quiet utility; a distinctive inner waist storm skirt and storm cuffs provided protection from the elements.

More than just a jacket, the Transport marked the beginning of a new chapter for Barbour - one that helped catalyse our evolution from manufacturer to global brand.

The Finishing Touch

Where timeless heritage meets modern edge. This jacket hides a subtle touch of Birchwood tartan under the collar and turnback cuffs in an ode to our heritage.
