Notes
Family-owned South Shields wax-jacket maker; Barbour International is the motorcycle-heritage sub-brand. Many categories (footwear, eyewear, luggage, fragrance, childrenswear) are licensed, though licensees were not verified in opened sources; the licensed accessories are what mostly reach off-price.
