Now in its sixth season, Barbour’s collaborative effort with Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida brings another tremendous lineup. The Beacon Heritage “ToKiTo” collection adds technical details to Barbour’s longstanding aesthetics and appeal. “Yoshida sympathetically uses classic Barbour materials such as 6oz Sylkoil and Quilted Polyamide, as well as innovative fabrics such as Gore WINDSTOPPER to create modern, ergonomically crafted silhouettes, making the Beacon Heritage collection his own.”

For Spring 2012, the outerwear pieces to check out are the Spey Fishing Jacket which is made from Gore Windstopper Active Shell as well as the Mount Shirt, a completely new addition to the Barbour Tokito lineup. It comes in three materials: Waxed, Herringbone and Windstopper.

The product is now hitting stockists worldwide, with End Clothing already getting a few pieces.

Here we have a look at R.Newbold and their Fall/Winter 2011 offerings. The Japanese label looks to have a solid lineup, with some amazing outerwear pieces in the mix to really drive the collection. For Fall 2011, they’ve even collaborated with Barbour to really take things next level. They’ve reworked the M-51 parka jacket and given it a raised hood placket and leather detailings. One piece from the Barbour collaboration that really stands out is the shorter jacket which features subtle polka dot patchwork print. The duffle coat seen below is exceptional as it’s got all the makings of a classic with a blue stripe towards the bottom to stir things up. (via The189)

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that Grenson and Barbour, two of the UK’s finest brands, have teamed up for a capsule collection for the ages. To start things off, Grenson has produced a limited range of footwear that focuses on quality and aesthetics over quantity. This collaboration represents the hundreds of skilled hand operations that go into both a pair of hand crafted shoes and a Barbour jacket. Look for the offerings to be available through a select number of retailers in extremely limited numbers.

Barbour and Tokihito Yoshida continue their fruitful collaboration into Fall 2011 with a plethora of pieces for the colder months. The Spey Fishing jacket is a new style that’s been added to the mix, one we think will be well-received by you all. The style’s got plenty of Barbour-infused detailing like the waxed shell and cord collar but gets the To Ki To touch with added functionality.

The details are immense as the gauge knit jumper sweater features a ribbed crew neck, brown suede elbow patches and a Barbour label to the side seam.

Surprising to say this but our favorite boat shoe this year is coming from a brand not known for its footwear. The Camp Mocs from Barbour are really well crafted and the time dedicating to cooking these up shows in the final product. The full navy leather upper works well with the stitched rubber razor etched sole. Barbour tartan arch support gives way for better comfort. The hand stitched shoe also features rawhide leather laces and brass eyelets.

The weather’s not pleasant these days but as the spring collections from alot of our favorites are beginning to hit stockists, I think it’s always good to grab some essentials before your size is gone. The go-to spring jacket this year will undoubtedly be a lightweight parka and who better to deliver such a masterpiece than the folks at Barbour. The Dickens jacket is fitted with a waxed cotton shell which will be perfect for the rainy weather ahead and the Brits sure do know how to protect themselves when the raindrops start falling.

Some notable details include a 2-way zip closure with button stormflap, fixed drawstring hood and drawstring adjustable waist.

As part of their 75th anniversary, Barbour has dropped their original green Barbour International jacket in a limited-edition finish. Above is a distressed finish of the original green, giving the iconic jacket a perfectly aged look. No details were spared in the re-issue, but with the craftsmanship and work put into each jacket, it’s no surprise only 75 pieces of each finish, per territory, will be available.

The jackets will be in store come December but you can pre-order them now. Also, expect plenty of happenings and specials throughout 2011 as the brand continues to celebrate their 75th anniversary.
