Barbour finds its first global brand ambassador in Outlander star Sam Heughan. The Scottish actor grew up in Galloway, a short distance from the home of founder John Barbour. Nurturing his relationship with Barbour, Heughan will collaborate on a capsule collection featuring Barbour’s signature tartans.

Talking about his new role as global brand ambassador, Heughan reflects, “Being Scottish, I grew up with the brand and have always been a big fan–being born in the same rural area as John Barbour, in the south of Scotland.”

I very much look forward to designing my own capsule collection based on this ethos and to representing the brand in the UK, the US and internationally.”
