Dec 09,2024Barbour wellies after minimal use have significant cracks in the outer layer on the sides of both wellies, making them leak - obviously not ideal for wellies! When I reached out to customer service, they offered 10% off.. I expect that if wellies have a fault that makes them no longer fit for purpose, Barbour should rectify the issue at least with a replacement. Disappointed with the outcome as a family member has a pair of wellies from another brand which have offered a replacement when there has been an issue.

Dec 05,2024Barbour Shooting Breeks. The clasp is prone to failure and after the first pair were returned after one use, the 2nd is failing after about 20 days use and for 199 it’s not on. The clasp is not rigorous enough for country pursuits crossing fences etc. perhaps more suited to the office. A large button would be more appropriate with a strong thread. Barbour made me fill out a claims report 2 times only to reply ‘…we can’t offer a repair service or warranty’. Musto on the other hand and perhaps others will offer lifetime repair. They are just not what they used to be.

Dec 04,2024I feel, sadly, that the quality of Barbour clothing has gone downhill. I bought my husband a pair of slippers and in a short space of time the inner lining has come adrift and started to pull out when he takes his foot out. I also bought him a Dunoon shirt last year that didn’t have any stiffening in the collar as they always have done. It looks untidy and cheap. I decided to try again and bought another but it is exactly the same, after calling Barbour they tell me it is a design change and they will be like this going forward. I am a longstanding customer of Barbour but I won’t be buying anything else from them.

Dec 03,2024After a distressing and frankly dehumanising experience with DPD, Karen from customer services, you have restored my faith in humanity ❤️ Thank you

Dec 02,2024Ich habe die Barbour Beaufort Jacke im Oktober in einem Store in London gekauft und war zunächst von der Optik und dem klassischen Design begeistert. Leider entspricht die Qualität und Funktionalität der Jacke nicht meinen Erwartungen – insbesondere bei einem Preis von rund 400 €. Das größte Problem ist, dass sich bei kälteren Temperaturen Kondensat auf der Innenseite der Ärmel bildet. Trotz des wachsartigen Außenmaterials und der robusten Verarbeitung fühlt sich die Jacke innerlich unangenehm feucht an, was die Trageerfahrung erheblich beeinträchtigt. Ich habe die Jacke bei kaltem Wetter getragen und festgestellt, dass die Kleidung, die ich darunter an hatte, vollständig nass wurde. Der Grund hierfür scheint das Polyesterinnenfutter zu sein, das wenig atmungsaktiv ist und in Kombination mit der Wachsschicht zu einem Wärmestau führt. Ich hatte daher Kontakt mit dem Barbour-Kundendienst und erhielt folgende Antwort: Die Ärmel wurden bewusst mit einem Polyesterinnenfutter ausgestattet, um das An- und Ausziehen zu erleichtern und ein besseres Durchrutschen zu ermöglichen. Der Kundendienst erklärte außerdem, dass eine Wachsjacke grundsätzlich nicht atmungsaktiv ist, was zu einem Wärmestau und vermehrtem Schwitzen führen kann. Dieser Effekt sei nicht ausschließlich auf das Innenfutter zurückzuführen, sondern auf die Wachsschicht der Jacke selbst. Es wurde mir angeboten, das Polyesterfutter gegen ein Baumwollfutter austauschen zu lassen – allerdings zu meinen Kosten. Dies erscheint mir in Anbetracht des hohen Preises der Jacke wenig kundenfreundlich und enttäuschend. Insgesamt bin ich von der Barbour Beaufort Jacke enttäuscht. Das Design und die Marke haben ihren Charme, aber in Bezug auf Funktionalität und Qualität erfüllt die Jacke nicht die Erwartungen, die man für diesen Preis haben sollte. Der Wärmestau und das Kondensat im Inneren machen die Jacke bei kälteren Temperaturen untragbar, und der Kundenservice konnte keine zufriedenstellende Lösung anbieten. Leider kann ich dieses Modell daher nicht weiterempfehlen.

Nov 30,2024I've bought jackets from Barbour before, but this time I bought my first waxed one, a Sleddale. The order arrived the next day ! I love the look and the fit, I couldn't be happier. I had a couple of of queries regarding the maintenance of the jacket, and customer service were excellent. An extremely happy customer.

Nov 28,2024Ordered a couple of the Corbridge jackets. Fit was too tight for me, found the sizing guide on the site unhelpful to be honest. However can't argue with the quality of the jacket itself. Returns process was pretty decent too.

Nov 27,2024Poor customer service, didn't receive package delivered to my home, DPD delivered to the post office. It is difficult me to get out as I am disabled, I told Barbour of this and nobody cared. No resolution except pick it up from the post office or it will be returned to Barbour. Terrible way to treat customers, don't waste your hard earned money with them.

Nov 26,2024I have recently used the re wax and repair service. I can’t fault it. My coat has been returned with new sleeves, cuffs and a re wax. They even managed to remove the cat hair! I was looking to replace it this year but couldn’t find a coat with the same thickness of lining. Money well spent as looks like new. Will send my son’s next. Well done Barbour.

Nov 22,2024I have used Barbour for many years as I find the quality hardwearing and stylish. Recently I was looking to purchase a new lightweight jacket but was disappointed to find the yellow Barbour motif too large which distracted from the quality and to my mind cheapened the look of the garment.

Nov 10,2024I have been buying Barbour for my family and dogs for decades; I have always loved the brand and it has always been a joke to friends that I always have some article of Barbour clothing on me. However in the last year I have had 2 pairs of slippers, 2 dog collars and 1 lead, a baseball hat, a pair of jogging bottoms, full size wellingtons and a gillet that have not lasted more than a few months. Foolishly I ignored the fact the Barbour quality has gone and bought some ankle wellingtons. By the second wear the insoles on both wellingtons kept rising up, making them entirely useless. I was told to buy some glue and glue them in - something I would not expect to have to do with a cheap pair of boots! Needless to say after decades of using Barbour I will no longer be buying their products.

Nov 10,2024I’ve shopped both in-store and online, and the service, as well as the quality of the items, has been excellent. I’ve bought a range of garments and even used their rewaxing service for my coat, and everything has been fantastic. More recently, I wanted to replace some wellingtons that were out of warranty. I had a question about a pair I found online, and to my surprise, instead of seizing a new sales opportunity, they replaced them free of charge.

Nov 04,2024I bought a Barbour elisha fleece size 12 - super cosy, a bit big for size but fine. Big downside is the pockets - other than a tissue you can’t put anything in without it falling out- eg phone , no zips and no inside pockets at all! . This is penny pinching on an expensive product and just terrible design from a company that’s supposed to be all about practicality and being outdoors really regret my purchase.

Nov 04,2024Habe vor 11 Monaten eine der leichten Wachsjacken erworben. Diese hat nun deutliche kleine Löcher und einen etwa 2,5 cm langen Riss im Gewebe an einer nicht belasteten Stelle. Auf meine freundliche Anfrage, inwieweit hier eine Regulierung auf Kulanzbasis möglich wäre, erhielt ich nur den Verweis auf den kostenpflichtigen Reparaturservice. Dies verbunden mit der Empfehlung, die Jacke einmal jährlich nachwachsen zu lassen (!). Nundenn, eine Barbourjacke hält also einfach mal kein ganzes Jahr. Das sollte man vor dem Kauf bedenken.

Nov 01,2024I sent my very grubby 14 year old barbour coat to be cleaned and rewaxed . Omg it's like a new coat, what a brilliant service worth every penny.

Oct 29,2024Wanted to return a coat rung them and asked for a QR code as I don't have a printer they told me they do not l issue QR codes but would send me a label instread.TWO phone calls and a week later they still havnt sent it.Poor customer service they obviously didn't want me to return the coat which was too small for me. Eventually someone printed the label for me so I have now returned it.I will.not be purchasing anything from barbour again. Bad experience and very poor customer service

Oct 28,2024Had issues with a purchase 1 month after buying. John Lewis would not help (no receipts) but went direct to Barbour and they were excellent. Katy in customer services resolved the issue very quickly and professionally. Couldn't praise them highly enough - excellent customer service.

Dec 10,2024I have 2 waxed jackets which I love, as all my family do with theirs. I thought I’d try a jumper so bought one online. It didn’t suit me so I looked to return it. This is where Barbour lets itself and its premium brand association down. Return was free with “in-post” but took 7 days to get the confirmation email, which went on to say a refund would be issued within 14 days. That’s potentially 21 days from return to refund which I don’t think is acceptable, given the value of the items. Do better Barbour.
