Pictures of Barbour’s fall/winter collections are now showing up online through its retail partners – aside from the classic pieces and a few of the new designs, most of it is very ho hum or generic and it feels like the design teams forgot what makes Barbour Barbour. At first glance, some of the [...]
From the current winter issue of Men’s Precious. I like the emphasis on complementary tones with small pops of color, my favorite being the unexpected polka dot scarf paired with International jacket.
On a related note, Barbour has updated its website for the SS11 collection, though I don’t think there is anything [...]
* Bruce Pask again has an excellent writeup for the NYTimes on most of the brands I was interested in. Likewise, Khabi on Fashion Buyer UK has also shared his thoughts on what was shown.
* Men’s Mentore had some great coverage with lots of pictures. Oddly the only highlight for me [...]
Barbour has updated its website with an interactive area on the history of the International jacket, along with a section highlighting its two new limited edition versions to mark the anniversary. Of course, Steve McQueen is not left out.

Barbour has a new range of slim fit shirts this season under their Heritage collection, and some with interesting details that seem to be inspired by old riding gear and Mod clothing.

One of my new favorite stores: The London Trading Company. Barbour, Purdey, Beretta, and other fine goods all under one roof.
I had not heard news of this until now, but it looks like Barbour is releasing a reproduction of the Ursula jacket used by submariners during WW2. I don’t know how faithful the details are to the original, but it’s pretty cool of them do this.
It will be available through Orvis and other [...]
In addition to the To Ki To stuff, Barbour has updated its website with items in their Fall/Winter selection and there lots of great jackets to choose from this year. One absence though is the tailored waistcoat (or at least I can’t find it), hopefully they have not dropped it just yet as I [...]

Some things to look forward too…
