Barbour Shirts FAQs
Tailored is the closer cut — trimmer through the chest and waist with a shorter hem, so it works tucked or untucked. Regular is fuller and straighter through the body, with more room to layer. Summer fit sits between the two and is used on the lighter warm-weather cloths.
A shirt cut heavy enough to wear as a light outer layer over a t-shirt or sweat. Barbour makes them in cord, twill, gingham and waxed ripstop. They sit closer to a jacket than a shirt in weight, and the waxed Crail will shed a shower.
Northshore on the Lomond and Douglas, Riverstone and Blue Granite on the Lanark, Midnight Oak on the Dunoon and Green Loch on the Kyeloch. Barbour rotates its tartans by season, so patterns change through the year.

Cool wash at 30°C, inside out, and hang to dry rather than tumbling. Corduroy and flannel shirts hold their nap better if you avoid the dryer entirely. Waxed overshirts should never go in a washing machine — wipe them down with cold water and re-wax when the finish dulls.
Yes. We stock Barbour at both Yards Store shops — 13 Old Bank Street in Manchester and 86 Pinstone Street in Sheffield. Sizes and patterns differ between the two, so call ahead if you want a particular shirt.
