This hardworking Barbour jacket has been in Kate’s wardrobe since at least 2012.

We’ve spotted the Princess wearing the wax coat at numerous public engagements and while enjoying her downtime. From leisurely strolls through Kensington Gardens to launching outdoorsy campaigns during her life as a working royal.

Our first sighting of Kate in the Barbour jacket took place in spring 2012, during a dog walk in Palace gardens. Nearly a decade on, she chose it again for a public engagement (a farm visit in February 2020). This shows the classic country-style wax jacket is both durable and long-lasting.

Which Barbour jacket does Kate Middleton wear?

The Princess wears the olive Barbour Defence wax jacket in the pictures on this page.

About Kate’s Barbour Defence Wax Jacket:

The olive-coloured wax jacket is one of Barbour’s signature styles. The coat is crafted from cotton and features four front pockets, a stand collar and front zipper closure with button overlay. It’s been treated with a water-resistant finish.

Kate Middleton’s Barbour jackets:

We’ve spotted Kate in FOUR different Barbour jackets to date. In addition to the Barbour Defence jacket pictured on this page, Kate owns the beige wax ‘Edith’ style, the blue quilted ‘Longshore’ style and the green belted ‘Elfie’ style.

Both the Elfie and the Edith jackets are from Barbour’s collaboration with Alexa Chung. We first spotted the Princess in the Edith jacket in 2020 and the Elfie jacket in 2023.

Kate debuted the blue padded Longshore jacket in 2019 and she’s worn it to a handful of engagements since.

About Barbour:

Barbour is synonymous with the Great British outdoors. The company has been active for over 100 years and still manufactures their wax jackets in their factory in the North East of England. The company hold three Royal warrants.
