A perfect all-weather jacket for a taller gentleman, or ideal for wearing over a suit, the bestselling iconic Border jacket comes in a longer length with a generous fit, and lengthened sleeves. Designed in the early 1980s by Chairman Dame Margaret Barbour, the Border is named to represent the land border between Scotland and England that founder John Barbour crossed in 1870 to get to North East England, where Barbour is still based. Made with medium weight 6oz waxed cotton, the Border is fully interactive with an optional hood and zip-in thermal liners, making it a reliable jacket all year round. Traditional design features such as two generously sized bellows pockets, two moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets, classic corduroy collar with throat flap studs and a large brass ring-pull zip with storm fly front close give this jacket a timeless look, popular with all ages and for a range of lifestyles. Designed as a casual, everyday jacket, the Border features two internal poacher's pockets with detachable pocket bags and Velcro storm cuffs for extra protection in foul weather.
