Waterproof Dog Coats by Barbour
The History of the Barbour Company The shop Barbour & Sons was founded in 1870 by John Barbour in Galloway, Scotland, originally supplying what we call today protective work clothing - mainly oilskin coats for fishermen, sailors and dock/shipyard workers.
At that time these industries were flourishing and so Barbour's were very successful as there was abundant supply of workers operating outdoors in harsh weather conditions, who needed hard-wearing oilskin coats to protect them from the extreme weather conditions of wind, rain, snow and sleet.
Modern Barbour As these industries declined in the UK, Barbour switched their focus to hunting, shooting, fishing and other outdoor sports and leisure clothing which also brought great success.
The most famous garment they make is the classic wax jacket in olive which is still made by hand today and designed to keep out the worst weather.
Barbour now make a waterproof dog coat.
Barbour's Pedigree Like other coveted clothing brands, Barbour has its' imitators and fakes.
The wax jackets and coats are popular with the British Royal Family (the company holds a Royal Warrant for the supply of waterproof clothing), celebrities and everyday people alike, the Barbour brand having proved its' pedigree.
Barbour has expanded to reach the U.
S.
and other countries.
Barbour is another word for coat or jacket - anyone who owns one is likely to say "I'll just put my Barbour on", rather than use the word "coat"!.
Barbour Waterproof Dog Coats The Barbour brand is highly desirable, for its' classic good looks, comfort, performance and durability - all the benefits a dog owner would look for in a waterproof dog coat, to protect their dog from the elements.
Barbour waxed coats for dogs, are also windproof, and thorn-proof, just like the wax jackets for people.
Olive has always been the classic colour for Barbour country clothing, and the dog coat too is made in this colour, with the classic Barbour tartan lining and a proper adjustable belt and buckle (no Velcro to stick to your dog's fur) to fasten the coat onto your dog to ensure a secure, snug fit.
The waterproof dog coat is embellished simply with the small oval Barbour logo.
This Barbour waterproof dog coat will be the only one your dog will ever need (some people have had their Barbour coats for 50 yrs!).
The dog coat is suitable for working dogs too as there is nothing in the design of the coat that restricts movement.
