Wild versus conservative: Noah x Barbour
US-based maker of “multi-utilitarian attire” Noah and British outdoor brand Barbour have teamed up to present a new take on Barbour’s Beaufort wax jacket and equestrian-inspired Bedale jacket, plus matching accessories, to be released on February 18.
The capsule, which harks back to archival jackets from the 1980s, is the second collaboration between the two brands.
An all-over paisley print covers the Noah x Barbour iteration of the Beaufort, while the Bedale has been covered with a zebra print. A sports hat, sports cap and backpack (which features expandable pockets, a drawstring closure and buckle fastening) have also all been finished in either zebra or paisley print.
Noah co-founder and creative director, Brendon Babenzien, commented on the co-created collection: “There is no substitute for quality. Barbour has always stood for quality and represents the best in quality and style, a combination not often found.
“The prints this season were inspired by the eclectic style of English dressing and interiors; we appreciate how the English youth have always taken quite traditional patterns and made them their own. Truly classic patterns take on the personality of the wearer and therefore can be seen as either conservative or wild, depending on the attitude of the person wearing it.”
