Some partnerships feel inevitable. Barbour and Paraboot—one born from the rugged British countryside, the other from the craft workshops of the French Alps—share more than a name on a label. They share a belief in making things that last. This collaboration brings together two icons of outdoor style, merging Barbour's enduring outerwear legacy with Paraboot's artisanal shoemaking tradition into a collection built for today yet rooted in generations of craft.

This partnership celebrates the tradition and artisanal skill of both brands through two enduring pieces—a jacket and a split-toe derby shoe—designed for today yet built for a life outdoors, combining functional craftsmanship with refined elegance to create a timeless expression of outdoor style. Barbour and Paraboot first collaborated in 2019 with a small capsule for the Japan market, featuring one outerwear and one footwear piece. The AW26 collaboration takes inspiration from Paraboot's Chambord style, an original design in smarter style, re-worked to combine signature Barbour elements including the signature 8oz Oban wax, leather co-branding, and tassel for added character, while the outerwear piece is based on a classic Bedale and, similar to the footwear, leather details have been included, with both featuring the Barbour Classic Tartan.

The Barbour x Paraboot Derby Shoe, made at the Paraboot Factory and based on their traditional Chambord style, is a split-toe derby in waxed brown leather with an olive waxed quarter, lace medallion, and tassel, finished with classic Barbour tartan webbing at the top of the tongue and flag labels from both brands on either foot. The Barbour x Paraboot Bedale Wax Jacket, an 8oz Oban waxed cotton piece based on the classic Bedale, features a cord collar with tartan wax undercollar, tonal Barbour embroidery on the wearer's left pocket, tonal Paraboot embroidery on the right, and a leather chest patch pocket. Together, these pieces celebrate the shared heritage and artisanal craftsmanship of two iconic brands, blending Paraboot's renowned shoemaking expertise with Barbour's enduring outdoor legacy.
