FAQ

Why Choose Red Rae?

At Red Rae Town & Country, we believe in timeless quality over fast fashion. As a family business established since 1955, we bring decades of expertise and a genuine passion for heritage style to everything we do. Every piece in our collection is chosen for its fabric quality, fit, durability, and classic design — built to last for years, not seasons. Whether you're heading out to the countryside or the city, our heritage-inspired outerwear and accessories are made for everyday life.

What makes your products different?

We curate only the finest heritage brands and styles — from wax jackets and quilted coats to boots and bags. Our focus is on craftsmanship, natural materials, and designs that stand the test of time. We don't follow trends; we celebrate enduring style.

How do I know which size to choose?

Each product page includes a detailed size guide to help you find the perfect fit. If you're between sizes or unsure, feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to advise based on the specific garment.

What is your returns policy?

We want you to love what you buy. If you're not completely satisfied, we accept returns within 90 days of receipt, provided items are unworn and in their original condition with tags attached. Please contact us to arrange a return.

How long will my order take to arrive?

We aim to dispatch all orders within 1–2 working days. Standard UK delivery is free and typically takes 2–3 working days. We offer Express delivery if you would like to receive your item the next day. For international orders, delivery times vary by destination — you'll receive a tracking notification once your order has been dispatched.

Do you ship internationally?

For most brands in our store, we ship worldwide. However, please note that Barbour products can only be shipped within the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA) — this includes all EU countries plus Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man.

Customers outside the UK may be subject to local import duties and taxes upon delivery. If you're unsure whether we can ship a specific product to your country, please contact us before ordering.

Do your prices include VAT?

Please check your order summary at checkout for the price and any taxes collected on your order. For deliveries outside the UK, local import duties and taxes may also be payable upon delivery. These are separate from any taxes collected at checkout unless expressly stated as included.

Do prices include delivery?

Standard UK delivery is free. For international orders or express delivery, a delivery charge will be added at checkout. We will always endeavour to find you the most cost-effective delivery option.

Are your Barbour products authentic?

Absolutely. All Barbour products sold at Red Rae are 100% authentic. Barbour is extremely selective about who they appoint as authorised retailers, and they monitor their accounts closely. They do not permit their products to be sold from market stalls or non-established retailers.

If you have any doubts about a retailer, you can call Barbour directly on 0191 455 4444 and they will confirm whether that retailer is an authorised Barbour stockist.

Is Red Rae an authorised Barbour retailer?

Yes — we have been an authorised Barbour retailer since 1975, sourcing all of our Barbour products directly from their factory in South Shields. You can verify this by calling Barbour on 0191 455 4444, or by visiting Barbour's counterfeit education page and entering www.redrae.co.uk in the verification box.

How do I spot a fake Barbour website?

Barbour does not permit any retailer to use the word "Barbour" in their domain name — only www.barbour.com and www.barbour.co.uk are authorised to do so. If you encounter a website with "Barbour" in the web address (other than those two), they are in breach of Barbour's trading rules.

If in doubt, call Barbour on 0191 455 4444 to verify that a specific retailer is an authorised stockist.

How do I care for my wax jacket or outerwear?

Heritage outerwear requires specific care to maintain its performance and appearance. We recommend following the care instructions on the garment label. For wax jackets, periodic re-waxing helps maintain water resistance — we're happy to advise on the best products to use.

How can I contact you?

You can reach our team via the contact form on our website, by calling us on 01920 463170 (outside the UK: +44 1920 463170), or by emailing us at sales@redrae.co.uk.
