Celebrating One Hundred Years of Barbour Catalogues 1908-2008

It traces the company's ideal from selling oilskins, souwesters, jumpers and trousers to fishermen, sailors, river/dock and shipyard workers, through a motorcycling phase, to the well known brand now synonymous with farming and country pursuits.
