The Collab Brings Crocs’ Playful, Functional Style to Barbour’s Classic British Outerwear and Footwear
Barbour, the British heritage and lifestyle brand, has teamed up with global footwear giant Crocs for a groundbreaking collaboration, launching their first limited-edition collection together. The lineup includes an outerwear piece, a pair of wellington boots, a classic clog, and nine unique jibbitz charms that allow for customization of the footwear.
The partnership introduces the Barbour x Crocs Wellington Boot and Classic Clog, both featuring a tartan graphic print that aligns with the iconic tartan liner found in Barbour jackets. These footwear options are designed to accommodate all nine jibbitz charms made of PVC and metal, showcasing a blend of signature elements from both brands.
Ian Bergin, Director of Barbour Menswear, commented on the new collaboration, stating, “With practicality and a love of the great outdoors at the heart of both brands, this playful new collaboration is a fun way to celebrate that shared foundation.”
The collection not only echoes the functionality that both brands were founded on but also reflects their evolution to suit modern tastes. Barbour, established in 1984, has transitioned from creating protective outerwear for mariners to becoming a staple for a diverse array of people including rock stars and royalty. Crocs, initially launched in 2002 as a simple, comfortable boat shoe, has grown into a globally recognized brand known for its iconic footwear.
Matias Infante, Vice President of Global Marketing at Crocs, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, “This collaboration effortlessly blends two iconic brands, marrying our passion for self-expression with Barbour’s rich heritage. By remaining the timeless classics both brands are known for, we’ve created something entirely new that can be fully personalized.”
Highlight pieces from the collection include the Barbour x Crocs Oversized Bedale Wax Jacket, reimagined with Crocs’ influence to feature an oversized and boxy fit, Barbour’s 6oz Safe wax, and tartan pockets. The piece also features a packable waterproof hood and additional chest pockets for jibbitz charm attachment.
Additionally, the Barbour x Crocs Classic Clog has been revamped with Barbour’s wax-coated cotton trim and tartan graphic print, allowing for personalization with various jibbitz charms. The Barbour x Crocs Wellington Boot is ideal for wet weather, featuring classic Barbour tartan and a PVC logo patch.
The collaboration is complete with a selection of Barbour x Crocs Jibbitz Charms, inspired by patches and pins from the Barbour archive and the custom dual-branded logo, offering a vintage feel to personalize the footwear.
The Barbour x Crocs collection will be available both in-store and online from March 27th, 2025.
