Barbour International is the motorcycle-inspired sub-brand of Barbour, originally designed for dispatch riders in the 1930s. While Barbour focuses on countryside and equestrian heritage, International leans into an urban, heritage-racing aesthetic with waxed cotton and quilted jackets designed for city life.

To re-wax your jacket, apply Barbour's official wax dressing evenly using a cloth in circular motions, then use a hair dryer to melt the wax into the fabric. The process should be done every 1-2 years depending on wear. Barbour also offers a re-waxing service.

Barbour International waxed jackets are highly wind and water-resistant, making them excellent for wet British weather. However, they are not insulated — for extreme cold, layer a fleece or thermal underneath, or opt for the quilted jacket options that include a warm filling.
