Products: Workwear Jacket and Workwear Pants.
Released on Wednesday, 26th of November.
Designing for a London winter meant selecting durable materials.
For our first workwear jacket, we landed on a combination of duck-down cotton canvas and PU leather. The oversized PU leather collar was a reference to the British heritage of Barbour jackets. The buttoned collar tab, first seen on hunting jackets in the early 1900s, is an essential feature for keeping necks warm.
The finishing touch for the workwear jackets was their acid and potassium wash. We decided two washing techniques were required to make sure the jacket appeared heavily worn.
The two colours for this collection were military green and beige. To complete the set, we paired the jackets with matching cotton-canvas balloon-shaped trousers. The most unique feature of the trouser is the angled pleats on the thigh. This helps reinforce the shape.
This workwear set felt unmistakably British, so we felt like we had to rent a 1960s Routemaster double-decker bus through central London.
The real hero of the bus shoot was the bus driver. Believe it or not, he stopped in the middle of the Tower and Westminster Bridge just so we could capture the best shot.
We also felt like we needed to capture a studio shoot with a classic British chap.
We stumbled across Barry, who had previously acted in James Bond Casino Royale as a blackjack card dealer. Now if that isn’t the definition of British royalty, then I don’t know what is.
In all seriousness, this would have to be our favourite photoshoot to date. Barry really encapsulated our brand vision. He helped us tell a story, a story that felt both old and new.
This is our final collection of the year. 2026 is going to take us to new places, ones we have never been before. We truly cannot wait.
Love,
CP
