Get hooked on these shirts/jackets

IF anything screams motorbike with a real touch of class to a classic look then the Motorbike black shirt jacket form the Barbour x Tokihito Yoshida range does.

The jacket maintains the classic motorbiking tradition of Barbour but with a twist, its silk finish and reduced pocket number is sublime. Zip front, stud buttons and one chest, side and two hand pockets give it a cleaner line than other jackets by Barbour.

It corduroy collar and tartan lining give it more of hunting outdoorsman feel.

Coming in flyweight wax finish, it is a very lightweight garment with four air vents it even comes with a hood, but you probably won’t be using that if you are out on your bike will you. The jacket also has a softer feel that others in the range and is perfect for the street.

Next up comes the Mount shirt, which comes in a waxed olive and has a feeling of the ultimate rain coat. Based on a similar style of finishes as the Motorbike shirt, with hidden pockets zip fastened, stud buttons and a waist adjustor.

The two zip front pocket, along with two bottom pockets, it also ha one back pocket and sports the tartan inner. Delicious just like the rest of the To Ki To collaboration range.

Almost makes me want to get my bike out … oh er missus.

Big in Japan and in England as well

Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida may be a keen fly fisherman, well if only a novice, but I refer to the Spike Millgan view of the sport/past time, it is complete and utter madness.

Unlike the jackets that the fishing mad Jap has designed for Barbour as part of the To Ki To collaboration which is simply the greatest jacket I have seen this year and is known as the Spey Fishing jacket in black.

The multi-pocket four vented jacket, which boasts its own front chest fishnet is simply divine and surely far too good to be worn at some crappy fishing lake.

The navy jacket waxed lightweight jacket, which funnily enough is waterproof has the classic Barbour cut, dipped in at the waist with a five button zip fastened front and felt collars. This is like something from another planet, bells whistles and a few more things beside.

Good work me thinks and is part of seven jacket range that is pushing back boundaries.

For the other jackets see other blogs, I feel that something this good deserves its one blog.
