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

We’ve spotted the Duchess 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 wear?

Kate’s wearing the olive-coloured 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.

Where Can I Buy Kate Middleton’s Barbour Jacket?


The original Defence jacket (worn by Kate) is long sold out. However, a couple of years ago, Barbour updated the iconic coat and gave it a new name. It is now called the “Winter Defence Jacket“. Outwardly, it looks the same as its predecessor. The new jacket is cut from a heavier-weight fabric and comes with a warmer lining—ideal for the colder months.

As well as the brand’s own website, you’ll find the Winter Defence Jacket at orvis.com backcountry.com, phillipmorrisdirect.co.uk, moosejaw.com and countryattire.com

BARBOUR DEFENCE WINTER JACKET

COPY KATE – The Barbour Defence Winter Jacket will see you through the colder months. It’s exactly the same as the coat worn by Kate but updated with a warmer lining. Throw it on for the school run, wear it to muck out the horses, put it on to walk the dog…

Kate Middleton’s Barbour jackets:

We’ve spotted Kate wearing THREE Barbour jackets in public to date. In addition to the Barbour Defence jacket pictured on this page, Kate owns the beige wax ‘Edith’ style (below left) and the blue quilted ‘Longshore’ style (below right):

The Edith jacket is from the brand’s collaboration with Alexa Chung. Kate first wore it in 2020.

We first spotted Kate in 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.
