Unlikely Outdoor Alliance of the Day – Barbour and Tokihito Yoshida

“Barbour has come back strong with their collaboration with Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida. “Though still very popular with their classics, the brand had missed to innovate for some time, which is now finally happening with the Beacon Heritage Collection.

‘Spring Summer 2012 sets the bar high once again, with outerwear creating the main body of the collection. Key pieces from the Autumn Winter range have been developed, none more so than the Spey Fishing Jacket. Constructed from Gore WINDSTOPPER Active Shell – a completely windproof, highly functional and breathable lightweight material – it is jam-packed with pockets, a signature of Yoshida’s unnerving passion for technical outwear that finds the balance between form and function with apparent ease.’”
