Barbour and Noah launch their fifth collaboration with three distinctive jacket styles for Fall/Winter 2024. The partnership between the British outdoor specialist and the New York-based label demonstrates their shared commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative design.
Drawing from Barbour’s rich 1980s archives, this latest collection presents a sophisticated blend of traditional elements with modern sensibilities. The centerpiece, a unisex Barbour x Noah Wool Bedale Jacket, showcases the remarkable Casentino wool, known for its distinctive raised surface texture and available in black, dark green and tangerine.
Brendon Babenzien, Noah’s visionary founder, shares his perspective: “For this season’s Barbour collaboration, we stuck to the classic jacket shapes we’ve always loved from them. We used some of our favorite fabrics like Casentino Wool, Donegal Wool, and Cotton Canvas that feel right for the season. We always aim for materials that are tough and built to last.”
The collection includes the Border Jacket, made from specially commissioned Donegal tweed wool from Ireland’s renowned Magee mills. This remarkable piece features subtle flecks of color throughout its black base, perfectly embodying Noah’s street-smart aesthetic while honoring Barbour’s traditional roots.
Rounding out the range, the Cotton Bedale is an innovative take on a beloved classic. Salt washed cotton canvas creates a naturally weathered look and is available in black, pomegranate and green.
Ian Bergin, Barbour‘s Director of Menswear, expressed his excitement: “A fifth-year collaboration with Noah is fantastic, and this AW24 collection really feels like an evolution of our previous collaborations, which have been received well by both audiences. We’re excited to be launching the next iteration of this collab; Brendon’s interpretation of Barbour always feels creative and innovative, while respectfully nodding to our roots – it’s this which makes the partnership such a natural fit.”
The collection represents a thoughtful fusion of British heritage with contemporary American style. Through careful choice of materials and attention to detail, these pieces demonstrate both brands’ commitment to enduring quality and refined aesthetics.
