Barbour x Tokihito Yoshida - AW10

Barbour holds royal warrants from Queen Elizabeth II, The Duke of Edinburgh, and The Prince of Wales, but Barbour's collaboration with Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida has managed to materialize something greater. The Beacon Brand Collection includes a waxed military and field jacket, quilted horse riding and motorcycle jackets, and a heavier retake on the standard Blouson. Inspired by Barbour's extensive archive that dates back to 1908, Tokihito updated these classic patterns with clever details that focus on utility and bring a rugged futurism to the designs - something a narc or organ dealer would wear in a Yakuza-run LA. Waxed Cotton is the new leather.
