Barbour International was born in 1936 when Barbour family-member and keen motorcyclist, Duncan Barbour, introduced a one-piece wax cotton suit into the range. Duncan’s suit was created specifically for the IDST (International Six Day Trials) event in 1936 and the range quickly skyrocketed into the mainstream.
The brand became the uniform for at least 97% of the riders on the IDST circuit throughout the 1950s through to the 1970s. Worn by the likes of actor, Steve McQueen, it was the brand to wear.
