British brand Barbour has launched its fifth collaboration collection with cult New York-based label Noah.
The range includes three jacket styles inspired by Barbour’s archives and reinterpreted with Noah’s “irreverent menswear style”.
The ‘Bedale’ jacket is a unisex style inspired by Barbour’s most loved jacket, which was first introduced to the range in 1980.
With a new Casentino wool fabrication – a historic textile dating to the 14th century and distinguished by its uniquely fuzzy texture, typically seen in tailored menswear, the jacket offers a fresh take on the classic, available in black, green and bright tangerine.
The longer length ‘Border’ jacket comes in a Donegal Tweed wool, woven by Ireland’s celebrated Magee mill. The bespoke tweed features a black ground, subtly flecked with rainbow brights.
The final piece of the collection is the cotton ‘Bedale’, which keeps the authenticity of Barbour’s design with a cotton canvas that has been salt-washed for a time worn patina.
Brendan Babenzien, Founder of Noah, said: “For this season’s Barbour collaboration we stuck to the classic jacket shapes we’ve always loved from them. We used some of our favourite fabrics like Casentino wool, Donegal wool, and cotton canvas that feel right for the season.
“We always aim for materials that are tough and built to last. Barbour jackets, more than any other, have a timeless quality that allows them to get passed down from one generation to the next.”
Ian Bergin, Director of Menswear at Barbour, added: “A fifth year collaboration with Noah is fantastic and this AW24 collection really feels like an evolution of our previous collaborations, which have been received well by both audiences.”
“We’re excited to be launching the next iteration of this collab; Brendon’s interpretation of Barbour always feels creative and innovative, while respectfully nodding to our roots – it’s this which makes the partnership such a natural fit.”
