Classic British outdoor clothing company Barbour has teamed up with Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida to launch a new limited edition capsule collection for Autumn Winter ‘09.

Consisting of five waxed and three waterproof jackets for men, the inspiration for the new To Ki To range came from Barbour’s rich archive, which goes as far back as 1908, along with technical innovations and a modern fit.

Tokihito is renowned for the detail that he adds to his garments and he has taken Barbour’s distinctive style and added his own signature design to create a unique collection that includes a wax Trench Coat, Bicycle, Horse Riding (above), Motor Riding and Driving jackets. Special features include zip on/zip off detachable helmet-style hoods, detachable padded vests, water-resistant map pockets, and integral storm skirts. On the trench coat, the vent and the front of the jacket combine to make a pair of “culottes” with the button features. Pricing has not been announced.

I think you need to have a certain kind of swagger to rock a Barbour. I met a fellow last week – he did not have any swagger. And he had a Barbour. Wasted on him.

I think this will make Marc very happy indeed.
