UK heritage brand Barbour’s collaboration with charity Oxfam at Glastonbury introduces a novel initiative, marking the debut of a jacket rental service known as Barbour Re-Loved. Glastonbury is a five-day festival of contemporary performing arts in England and Oxfam has been a long-standing partner since the 1990s.
Set within the festival grounds from June 26th to June 30th, attendees have the opportunity to rent pre-loved, upcycled Barbour wax jackets for £45 each, with proceeds benefiting Oxfam. The option to purchase the jacket is available post-festival for those who develop a fondness for their rental. Each jacket, meticulously cleaned, repaired, and re-waxed in South Shields, North East England, boasts uniqueness, often featuring recycled materials from past Glastonbury Festival merchandise. The jacket rental service also calls attention to Barbour’s Wax for Life initiative which underscores the durability of the brand’s waxed cotton outerwear.
