x Norton & Sons Barra JacketBARBOUR

Description

2013 see's the start of a new chapter for Barbour as they start a new collaboration between their Beacon Heritage collection and storied Savile Row Tailors Norton & Sons. Tailors to the gentleman of London since 1821, Norton & Sons are now under the stewardship of Patrick Grant and have applied their clean cuts and authoritarian silhouettes to a series of designs inspired by the traditional artisanal workwear worn by the fishing communities of the Northumbrian coast. A unique take on Barbour's classic outerwear, the Barra Jacket combines the expertise of Norton & Sons with the wealth of inspiration on offer in the Barbour archives. Constructed from waxed cotton with a slightly aged look, it features a bespoke lining and inner set up incorporating the instantly recognisable Barbour tartan. The Barra plays host to a wide selection of considered details, including the reinterpretation of a staple feature, with the tonal corduroy collar cut in a thin wale in reference to the uncut velvet originally used by Barbour. A refined and expertly executed design, the Barra is finished with leather reinforcements at points of strain and a classic chin strap at the collar.
