Barbour @ Tempest Works

J Barbour and Sons got its start nearly 130 years ago in South Shields, a coastal town in England's North East. Today, this fifth-generation family-owned brand brings its long-lasting craftsmanship and classic British countryside sensibility–or, in Barbour's own words, "wit, grit, and glamour"–to over 40 countries around the world.

We appreciate Barbour's timeless silhouettes, quality materials, and stylish pragmatism. Their waxed cotton keeps out the Amsterdam wind and mist like no other.

THE LOOKS

Texture Pack

Are you afraid of feeling flat? No fear, between the wools, the waxed cotton, and the quilting, Barbour has got you covered. One of our favorite options is the Wool Bedale, a remixed version of one of the classic coats. Discover the luxury comforts of wool through this timeless silhouette.

40 Years of Beaufort

Celebrating one of the iconic pieces, this season we are delighted to present a collectors edition Beaufort. Even after forty years of fortitude against the elements, this classic model continues to age like a fine wine. The details on this special edition coat deserve a third and forth take.

Quilted Combos

Whether it be a Quilted Gilet liner that fits under any of the broad range of Barbour jackets, or straight to a quilted Ashbey Jacket... we love these for what they do best: layering. Lightweight, classic, and great looking insulating layers that both dress up and down.

Styling Our Pieces for Everyone

Hey, all, Leah here. I wear a lot of pieces from the shop not just because I enjoy their design, but also because I enjoy the creativity that comes from having a broader range of garments and design details to choose from. I also believe that when we choose our outfits we shouldn't be hemmed in (no pun intended) by who garments are designed for. For instance, I appreciate the classic silhouettes, natural fibers, and historic references you find in menswear but that are often absent from women's wear. Above all, the most important things are staying true to your style, having things fit the way you want them to (not just the way they're "supposed to"), and embracing the vibe you're going for. To celebrate this idea, we invited our good friend Victoria, an Amsterdam-based blogger and creative, to show off just how well so many pieces from the shop work on everyone.

Introducing Engineered Garments x Paraboot

For this FW23 season, Daiki Suzuki and Paraboot continue the story. Based on the Galibier outdoor brand's classic Avoriaz mountain boots, Daiki Suzuki has imagined a shoe with six D-rings, three on each side, staggered so that the laces form a complex but intentional design. Together with the Norwegian zigzag welt and lug sole, which are part of Paraboot's DNA, this design combines a sophisticated look that goes beyond casual wear and can work with dressier outfits.
