We’re absolutely delighted here at Smyths Country Sports, your official Barbour stockist, to see the brand team up with Aardman Animations once again for their new Christmas campaign. After a couple of years of festive fun with Shaun the Sheep, Barbour has brought out the big guns for 2025: the incomparable Wallace & Gromit!
This year’s short film is a brilliant dose of quintessential British charm and festive mischief, proving that Barbour truly has Christmas covered.
A 'Cracking' Contraption and Cosy Barbour Gifts
The story takes place in Wallace & Gromit’s home, where inventor Wallace unveils his latest, gloriously overcomplicated contraption: the ‘Gift-o-matic.’
This tartan-wrapped robot, designed to make gift-giving a breeze, is decked out in Barbour’s new season tartan. Barbour’s classic Lambswool Scarves also feature heavily throughout the animation, serving as a reminder that the heritage brand’s focus on quality and craftsmanship makes their pieces the perfect presents.
Of course, no Wallace & Gromit caper is complete without a bit of slapstick! In true chaotic style, the Gift-o-matic goes wonderfully awry, leaving poor Wallace down to his undies with only a Barbour scarf to save his modesty. It’s a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek moment that just reinforces how a classic Barbour scarf is a versatile and cracking good gift for anyone on your list!
The Heart of the Craft
Barbour and Aardman are a wonderful match, both embodying warmth and dedication to craftsmanship. Did you know the Aardman team spent over six months meticulously creating the film? They even had to hand-make the tiny Barbour pieces, including a minuscule beanie and the classic tartan scarves, using the smallest knitting needles.
So, if you’re searching for thoughtful, high-quality, and wonderfully classic pieces for your loved ones this Christmas, look no further.
