A Shop with Character
Furbellow & Co occupies a small but memorable space on Sandgate, one of Whitby’s main shopping streets near the river and the old town. More than just a shop, it feels like a gentleman’s outfitters from another era, where attention to detail and a sense of style are paramount. The interior is thoughtfully arranged, with racks of well-cut shirts, jackets, and casual wear, alongside shelves of leather goods, socks, ties, and grooming products. Everything on display has a sense of purpose and quality, appealing to those who appreciate classic cuts, natural fabrics, and understated elegance.Barber and Boutique Combined
The shop doubles as a traditional barber, offering classic haircuts and wet shaves in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The barber’s chair sits at the heart of the space, where regulars and visitors alike can enjoy a proper cut and a chat. This dual identity – part clothing store, part grooming salon – gives Furbellow & Co a unique rhythm. Shoppers browse for a new shirt or a leather bag while the sound of clippers and conversation adds to the shop’s lively, personal feel. It’s a place where looking good and feeling looked after go hand in hand.Curated Style and Service
What sets Furbellow & Co apart is its curation. Rather than overwhelming choice, the shop offers a tightly edited selection of menswear and accessories that reflect a timeless, slightly rugged aesthetic. Think workwear-inspired jackets, sturdy boots, quality knitwear, and practical yet stylish bags. The staff are known for their helpful, no-pressure approach, happy to offer advice on fit, fabric, or how to put together a versatile wardrobe. Whether you’re after a new shirt for a special occasion or a durable jacket for coastal walks, the shop feels like a trusted source rather than a generic retailer.A Whitby Institution with a Modern Edge
While rooted in traditional values of craftsmanship and customer care, Furbellow & Co also embraces a modern sensibility. The shop’s online presence and packaging reflect the same attention to detail found in-store, with handwritten notes and thoughtful presentation. This blend of old and new – classic tailoring and grooming, combined with a contemporary retail experience – makes it a favourite among both locals and visitors. It’s the kind of place that turns a simple shopping trip into a small, satisfying ritual, where buying a shirt or getting a haircut feels like a moment of self-care in a historic seaside town.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
