The Making of the Liddesdale Jacket

Rooted in Barbour's equestrian heritage, the Liddesdale was designed to deliver lightweight warmth, unrestricted movement and everyday practicality. Its signature diamond quilting offers dependable insulation without unnecessary bulk, while the generous fit and studded rear vents allow for effortless layering and freedom of movement. Finished with a robust front fastening, a soft cord collar and signature generously sized angled pockets, every element reflects a thoughtful balance of function and craftsmanship. Decades on, the Liddesdale endures as one of Barbour's most recognisable silhouettes - an icon refined through purpose, built to move seamlessly between countryside and city alike.
