Our exclusive Barbour tartans have their own story to tell. For AW26, we follow along on a new journey to rediscover the people, beauty and heart of the land that continues to inspire us today. Join our characters played by Sir Idris Elba and Sienna Miller as they head to the Pentland Hills, where a simple mix up over identically named pubs sends them on separate adventures through the countryside.
Woven throughout, our exclusive Barbour tartans draw on the colours of the land, lines crossing just as our characters’ paths do. In the local pub, in the fields or stuck in the rain, our tartans are part of everyday life.
Our tartans were 130 years in the making. Luckily, our latest film didn’t take quite so long. Take a look behind the scenes in the Pentland Hills to see how Sir Idris Elba, Sienna Miller and a gaggle of geese brought to life our story.
Discover the Origins of Barbour Tartan
Based on our iconic Classic Tartan, our new Shadow Tartan encapsulates the same colours of the British Countryside but in a more muted, pared-back palette. Designed to suit the colder months, it still features our original Barbour family sett - just like every tartan we create.
