The Ursula suit owes its origins to the one-piece waxed cotton motorcycle over-suit manufactured by Barbour in the late 1930s. The garment was manufactured from tan-coloured waxed cotton, the velvet-lined collar with buckled throat strap, zip fly front,. The one-piece motorcycle over-suit appears in the Barbour catalogues of the mid-1930s and would seem to have been discontinued by the early 1960s.

Ursula's navigating officer, Lt Lakin , was a keen motorcyclist and wore a one piece waxed cotton motorcycling suit made by Barbour ,Philips asked the company to adapt the suit, splitting it into jacket and trousers and adding a hood. The suit became standard watch-keeping clothing in Royal Navy submarines.

Captain George Phillips took command of the submarine HMS Ursula in 1937. Submariners wore general Royal Navy issue clothing, and he felt dissatisfied with the existing protective clothing. Through observing one of his crew wearing a one-piece Barbour suit, he privately approached Barbour and commissioned a modification of a one-piece suit into a new two-piece design of the jacket and separate trousers.
