Barbour Jackets

Built on an illustrious heritage, Barbour jackets are the pinnacle of protection from the Great British elements. Heralding from South Shields in the North East of England, Barbour have an unprecedented reputation for providing the very best in weather beating outerwear, using their huge wealth of knowledge to blend both style and functionality to bring you iconic and stylishly well appointed jackets.

Since their birth in 1894, Barbour jackets have undergone a series of tried and tested alterations-each one improving on their predecessor. Men’s Barbour jackets have seen influences from everything from country pursuits to town and city endeavors, resulting in a culmination of styles that involve classic quilted designs, the historic and timeless Barbour wax jacket, and everything in-between.

The formula for success hasn’t changed a great deal over the years; with the cherished brand sticking to its admired morals when it comes to crafting outerwear. This season is proving to be no different, with the majority of men’s Barbour jackets featuring iconic finishes that are an instantly recognizable trait of the South Shields brand.

Pieces such as the Barbour Commander jacket offer the best protection that a Barbour jacket can provide, thanks to being crafted using the labels original wax cotton material to provide a water, wind and thorn proof quality that sits sublimely well with the sharp silhouette of the jacket. The heritage behind every men’s Barbour jacket is continued with the Commander- its bellowed pockets and deep shade of olive are both indicative of the infamous Barbour label, and make it a synch to work into any look for an instant touch of stylish heritage.

Monochrome Lookbook

For this weeks Sunday Lookbook we have mixed things up a little bit, instead of focusing solely on a brand, we have taken the best of our black and white pieces for a truly unique monochrome focused lookbook. Black and white has been one of the classic colour combinations for a sharp up market look for many over the years.

This season, black and white has bounced back, trying to bring a new youthful look while mixing it with the same sophisticated feel as before, and as a result many have been branding black and white as the new ‘black’. Weather it be graphic prints, logical stripes and grids or plain pieces, black and white is bang on trend this season, and can be styled on anyone, no matter what your taste or character. Trends come and go in fashion, but black and white has stood the test of time and will always have place in the fashion scene.

We have taken products from a wide range of brands including Ralph Lauren, PS, Paul Smith and Grenson, for the more sophisticated look along with the likes of Hype Means Nothing, Boy London, Y3, Creative Recreation and Fred Perry for the younger casual look. So we are certain their will be something here for everybody.

Y3 – Honja Classic Trainers – White

If you have ever been stuck on something to wear, (don’t be ashamed, it happens to the best of us) you will most likely have fallen back to your staple wardrobe pieces, and that will more often than not include that perfect fitting comfortable plain white tee. Black and white is the background colour to many a mans wardrobe and the backbone of their fashion needs. Don’t be afraid of patterns including stripes, logical grids and even graphic prints, these help bring depth to a otherwise plain clean look.
