Barbour International New Season | Men’s Collection

20/02/2016

It’s not just dedication to outstanding quality at the heart of the Barbour International Brand, but a passion that dates back to 1928, when keen motorcyclist Duncan Barbour joined the family business. His passion for motorcycling gave him a unique insight into exactly what the riders would require from a motorcycling suit, and used this knowledge to introduce the hugely popular International Suit in 1936. This now iconic design was engineered specifically for wear during the International Six Day Trials (ISDT) to give the rider a greater ease of movement, as well as being wind tight.

From there, the International motorcycle suit caught the eye of Captain George Phillips, who was so impressed by the weather proof design, that he requested a two piece prototype. This one off design- the Ursula jacket and trousers- soon became standard issue for submariners during the second world war.

We’re often asked about the distinctive diagonal left chest pocket; some think it’s just a quirky design feature with no real use, others are convinced it’s a fault! In fact, the pocket has been ergonomically designed on the slat to allow riders easy access to maps and time trial cards. So if you’ve ever been worried you’ve been landed with a flaut, know that really you’re wearing a piece of Barbour-and design-history. As for the logo, with the iconic black and gold design, this was inspired by the traditional colours of the Vincent Owners Club, who adopted the International Jacket as their official uniform. Most notably however, the jackets were picked up by Steve McQueen and the US team before the ISDT in East Germany. The icon has gone on to inspire Barbour International collections over the past few years.

Over the years, Barbour International has established itself as the slick, fashion forward younger brother of the Barbour brand, and this season’s collection is no different. Graphic tees, tailored waxed jackets, and luxury leather all add up to an on-trend collection that defies convention.

The iconic design that started it all: the Barbour International Jacket still features the original details including the belted waist and slanted map pocket. If you are thinking of investing in a high quality weather proof jacket, then the Barbour International is the ideal choice, loved by those who own is and coveted by those who don’t, this jacket is a firm favourite of the Barbour International collection. If you’re looking for something more lightweight for the summer, this Smokey Tailored Jacket is made from 100% cotton for a cool and comfortable addition to your summer wardrobe. The jacket still features the slanted pocket, which stands as an integral design feature on the Barbour Internationals. A gilet should be a staple for spring summer, as it’s a great piece for transitioning between seasons. This Ariel Quilted Gilet is an update on the Enfield jacket, a popular design from the Barbour International archives.
