Barbour Knitwear – Crafted With Love, Made For Living
Knitwear has long been part of the Barbour way of life, bringing warmth, texture and enduring character to the changing seasons. For AW26, the collection draws on the details and traditions that have shaped Barbour style. These include signature family tartans and country-inspired flecks to classic cables and Fair Isle patterns. Designed for real wear and made to be reached for time and again, each piece of Barbour knitwear brings together the character of the countryside with the timeless appeal of the brand.
Signature Tartan, Woven Into Every Season
If it’s Barbour, it’s tartan. The brand’s exclusive family sett has become one of its most recognisable signatures, and this season it takes centre stage across a selection of Barbour knitwear. Reimagined Barbour tartans appear in bold all-over intarsia, while more subtle tartan details feature across styles including half-zips and gilets.
Rooted in the countryside, the tartan colourways draw inspiration from natural mineral shades, ranging from cool ice granite to rich pine green. Whether worn as a statement knit or introduced through smaller details, tartan adds an unmistakable Barbour character to everyday dressing.

Country Character and Classic Texture
For a more relaxed take, country fleck knits bring rustic charm and texture to the Barbour knitwear collection. Inspired by Donegal-style yarns, these are richly textured pieces with a weathered beauty that feels naturally at home in the country. Think walks along field paths, crisp days outdoors and warming up by the fireside afterwards.
Alongside these flecked textures, the collection includes gentleman knits that offer a refined take on the country classic. Traditional details such as cables, Alcantara patches and leather buttons are combined with classic Barbour colours for a look that feels polished without losing its countryside character. It is heritage style viewed through a contemporary lens. This makes it equally suited to a country pub, weekend away or everyday winter wardrobe.
Timeless Cables and Winter Fair Isles
Cable Barbour knitwear brings another layer of heritage to the AW26 collection. Drawing from a coastal and seafaring past, these traditional patterns were shaped by the need for warmth in cold northern conditions. Their enduring appeal lies in their simplicity, as they are timeless, reassuringly warm and easy to wear.
Finally, for a bolder winter look, Fair Isle patterns bring colour and tradition together. Born from the wild northern seas, these distinctive knits were also once worn by fisherfolk against the elements. Barbour reimagines the familiar pattern in tonal and brighter hues, retaining its traditional character while giving it a fresh feel for modern life.
Together, cables and Fair Isles capture two sides of winter knitwear: understated texture and distinctive pattern. Both bring a sense of heritage to cold-weather dressing while remaining easy to incorporate into everyday outfits.
