5 items you need from Barbour’s AW14 collection
Barbour are a brand synonymous with British heritage. This year they celebrate their 120 year anniversary, and throughout this period they have created a number of legendary garments, the likes of which will never fail to look good. For autumn/winter 2014 things are no different, but with a few fresh ideas thrown into the mix, Barbour have put together one of their strongest collections of recent memory. Here are five of our favourite items:
TROOPER WAXED JACKET
, The Trooper is arguably the quintessential Barbour waxed jacket. It’s immediately recognisable the world over and has been adopted by country gents, farmers and stye icons alike. It’s constructed from a medium weight, quilted waxed cotton and features signature Barbour details such as a corduroy collar, four large front pockets, a two-way central zip and studded, adjustable cuffs. Wear yours with an oxford shirt, indigo denim jeans and winter-ready boots for a well put-together off-duty look.

INTERNATIONAL WAXED JACKET
, Barbour International is the British brand’s motorcycle-inspired line of clothing, meaning it takes on a slightly more rugged edge that elsewhere in their range. The International waxed jacket is yet another iconic piece, which was popularised throughout the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, and famously worn by Steve McQueen.

TERRENCE DENIM SHIRT
, Talking of The King of Cool, this denim shirt features from Barbour’s latest Steve McQueen collection. It’s inspired by the very shirts he used to wear, featuring a washed finish, asymmetric chest pockets, and a contemporary slim-fit that’s guaranteed to take your weekend style up a notch or two.
