Everyone loves Barbour | Barbour International x Steve McQueen

Barbour. Who doesn't love Barbour? These guys seem to have something for everyone and there list of collaborations is a long as your sleeve (see: Barbour x Deus-Ex Machina | Menswear meets motocycles).

Once again, this year Barbour International launch another Steve McQueen range - possibly the most famous guy to have worn Barbour and definitely one of the most stylish folks to have ever lived.

With his kind of style, who can blame them.

The range includes waxed jackets, a nice looking yellow sweater, and a shirt modelled on one the man himself wore.

They look great and what's more, if you head to a Barbour store you're bound to find loads of other things you'll like. I guarantee it.

In London? Check out the Barbour International store in Piccadilly.

Barbour x Deus-Ex Machina | Menswear meets motocycles

2014 was a year of collaborations for Barbour - they turned the level up to the max, picking to work with some straight-up menswear brands as well as more unconventional ones too.

Land Rover, Pantone, Norton & Sons, and adidas all made for suitable pairings. Did anyone get their hands on the adidas collab by the way? That stuff will surely be worth a packet by 2020.

As 2014 came to a close, Barbour hooked up with Australian motorcycle lifestyle brand Deus-Ex Machina (which literally means “God from the machine”), to create a range of t-shirts, knitwear, bags and, of course, biking-suitable outerwear.

My favourite piece is the Barbour International x Deus -Ex Machina Horace Jacket, which takes inspiration from their iconic jackets which were popularised by the motorcycling crowd and 50s/60s Hollywood film stars alike. Featuring a short body, reinforced elbows, slanted map pocket, throat fastening and iconic black and gold Barbour International logo.

I guess this is what happens when the cold North East of England meets the dry flat streets of Oz? Makes perfect sense, Steve McQueen would have no doubt given this the nod.
