Barbour is known for its waxed cloth outerwear made of cotton soaked in oil. Although often introduced with the phrase "Royal Warrant," it was originally used as waterproof clothing for fishermen, and was even adopted by the British army during World War II, making it an authentic workwear.
However, the unique texture of waxed cloth can be a matter of personal preference. Against this backdrop, many non-waxed models are now available for easier enjoyment.
As one of such products, we are pleased to introduce a new collaboration with SOPHNET. The two companies have worked together several times in the past, but the key point this time is the use of "Solotex ®︎," which has recently been gaining attention in the fashion industry.
The "Bideil" is a timelessly popular equestrian jacket. The Bidail SL has been updated to fit the Japanese body shape.
It may have an image of masculine clothing, but the matte fabric gives it an urban look that goes well with elegant dressy styles. It is also highly versatile and goes well with work styles as well.
The familiar details such as large-capacity flap pockets and hand warmer pockets to keep hands warm are retained, but the collaboration features zip pockets on the left cuff and the original check lining, which Sofnet is using extensively this season, is also a key point.
The "New Burley," which uses "Solotex ®︎" that looks like wool, has a more classical impression with less of the ruggedness characteristic of "Babur.
Since this item originated as a riding coat, each detail is imbued with meaning: the raglan sleeves and deep center vent at the back are for ease of movement, while the corduroy collar and chinstrap are for protection from the cold.
A normal wool coat requires a lot of time and effort, such as brushing and sending it to the cleaners. However, this coat can be washed and does not shed that much, making it ideal for everyday wear. It can be used as commuting clothes in the coming chilly season.
The two models introduced here are items that can be enjoyed by both fans and non-fans of the brand. They will be on sale from October 2 (Fri.).
