Classic British outdoor clothing company Barbour has been doing some amazing things in terms of staying true to their heritage while making bold moves to stay relevant and current. In this particular case, Barbour has teamed up with Japanese designer Tokihito Yoshida to launch a new limited edition capsule collection – The Beacon Brand Collection – for the Fall/Winter 2009 season. You may remember the iconic waxed jacket that was originally premiered and released at colette in late July from collection. Talk about credentials: Barbour currently holds royal warrants from Queen Elizabeth II, The Duke of Edinburgh, and The Prince of Wales and prior to starting his own brand, To Ki To, Tokihito designed for companies like Mens Bigi, Harolds Gear, and Blades Savile Row. The Beacon Brand Collection includes a waxed trench coat and bicycle, horse riding and driving jackets, and is inspired by Barbours extensive archive that dates back to 1908. Tokihito updated the classic styles with clever details that focus on utility and have a more streamline design. Available here.
