Barbour Wax Leather Briefcase – Olive
The Barbour Wax Leather Briefcase in Olive combines a traditional work-bag shape with materials closely associated with Barbour: waxed cotton, genuine leather trim, cotton tartan lining and brass-effect detailing. Measuring approximately 43cm wide, 31cm high and 10cm deep, it provides useful room for documents, technology and everyday work essentials without the bulk of a travel holdall.
Twin leather carry handles give it the familiar appearance of a traditional briefcase, while the detachable and adjustable webbing shoulder strap provides a hands-free option for longer parts of the commute. Inside, the rectangular layout and internal organisation make it practical for carrying workday essentials while maintaining a relatively slim profile beside the body.
Olive gives the briefcase its most recognisably Barbour appearance, pairing the waxed-cotton body with contrasting leather details and traditional hardware. It works particularly well with wax jackets, quilted outerwear and other heritage-inspired clothing, while remaining smart enough for everyday office use.
Worth Knowing
Marks and creases are part of the character
Waxed cotton can pick up surface marks, creases and changes in appearance relatively easily. These are normal characteristics of the material rather than necessarily signs of damage. With use, the finish develops a more individual, lived-in appearance that is part of the appeal of a traditional Barbour waxed bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dimensions of the Barbour Wax Leather Briefcase?
We have checked the physical product at Allweathers. It measures approximately 43cm wide, 31cm high and 10cm deep.
Will the Barbour Briefcase fit a laptop?
Many laptops will fit, but screen size alone does not guarantee compatibility because external dimensions vary between models. We recommend comparing your laptop's actual width, height and thickness with the bag before ordering. A separate protective sleeve is also sensible because this is not a heavily padded specialist laptop case.
Can the shoulder strap be removed?
Yes. The webbing shoulder strap is both adjustable and detachable, allowing the briefcase to be carried by its leather handles when preferred.
Is the Barbour Wax Leather Briefcase waterproof?
The waxed-cotton outer provides useful resistance to everyday damp conditions, but the briefcase should not be treated as fully waterproof. Extra protection is sensible when carrying electronics in prolonged or heavy rain.
Does the waxed finish mark easily?
Waxed cotton can show scuffs, creases and surface marks relatively easily. This is characteristic of the material and helps the bag develop the individual, vintage appearance that many customers particularly like about waxed Barbour products.
How should I clean the briefcase?
The current care instruction is sponge clean only. Do not machine wash the bag. Because it combines waxed cotton and genuine leather, avoid aggressive detergents or conventional washing methods.
Is the Barbour Briefcase suitable for commuting?
It is well suited to customers who want a traditional work-bag format for documents, technology and everyday essentials. For particularly heavy loads or long walking commutes, a supportive backpack may distribute weight more comfortably.
What is the difference between Olive and Navy?
The practical design, dimensions and materials are the same. Olive gives the briefcase the more traditional Barbour countrywear appearance, while Navy provides a darker and more understated alternative for office and everyday use.
