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.

So read on …

Barbour - Back with a bang

CLASSIC stylish, simply superb, that’s Barbour jackets and the new Liddesdale andInternational jackets are no different.

The patchwork Liddesdale is part of the Heritage range is from the basic country collection, slim fit heritage style, the coat sports corduroy collars and pocket trims.

Two front pockets, with a nice slant styling and a button front fastening, along with studded side vents make this normal coat a lovely piece.

The black Union Jack International is a motorcyle coat, with superb Union Jack lining, it has zip and button storm fly front it has stud adjustable collar and sleeves, with the deliious buckle belt fastener on the front as well.

This jacket has remained since its original concept in the 1930s and just one look at it tells you why.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

The jacket has that ‘must have one of those’ feel to it, or 'Something to aim at', as the late British road cyclist Tom Simpson would have said, the International harks back to days of holiday motorcycling posters while adding a modern touch that ensures it will be around for a similar time period.

The Chelsea quilted jacket is in the same line as the Liddesdale, preffering a high buttoned collar to the corduroy touches of the other, is comes a in lovely light grey, with front pocket flaps and a zip pocket above the righthand front pocket.

Slim fit, this is a lovely version on a theme.

Nice

In store: Barbour V-Neck Lambswool Argyle Jumper

Intarsia is a knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colours. Fields of different colours and materials appear to be inlaid in one another, but are in fact all separate pieces, fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Unlike other multicolour techniques (including Fair Isle, slip-stitch colour, and double knitting - look 'em up!), there is only one "active" colour on any given stitch, and yarn is not carried across the back of the work; when a colour changes on a given row, the old yarn is left hanging. This means that any intarsia piece is topologically several disjoint columns of colour. Intarsia is most often worked flat, rhowever, it is possible to knit intarsia in circular knitting using particular techniques.

Common examples of intarsia include sweaters such as this Barbour V-Neck Lambswool Argyle Jumper with large, solid-colour features like geometric shapes. Argyle socks and sweaters are normally done in intarsia. Here's the spec for this sweater:

• Intarsia knitted argyle

• Tradional Argyle

• 7 gauge lambswool

• Medium weight

• Barbour tonal branding on arm

• Full fashion fit

• Contrast back neck tape

• Hand wash only

Barbour International - Heritage Motorcycle jacket

Barbour began to design and make motorcycle clothing in 1913 although the company formed in 1894. Famous for the durability and classic style, authentic and fit for purpose - Barbour belongs wherever people gather to enjoy life beyond the city. Today Barbour jackets have seen a growth on to the fashion scene away from just being "fit for purpose" , Why? Its because paying money for a jacket that's worth its value, that going to last longer than others make more sense. The fact that heritage clothing seems to be leading makes Barbour the choice of many.

The iconic Barbour International was introduced to the collection in 1936, initially as one piece suit, which evolved in to a two piece with the famous slanted pockets. The international proved a firm favourite with many trials riders, including Steve McQueen, and the American ISDT Team of 1964. Barbour garments were worn by nearly every British team between 1936 to 1977.

In the 50s and the 60s the International also became a part of the Rockers' uniform. Today, the International influences many Barbour's heritage designs, with both the distinctive black and yellow International badge, and the Union Jack of the British trials team inspiring bolder contemporary styles. Whatever the garment, however, Barbour's legendary durability and quality of materials and construction have never been compromised.
