The Barbour x Steve McQueen Collection...Coming soon to Seasons Clothing
To celebrate the 75th Anniversary since Barbour first introduced there iconic motorcycle 'International Jacket', Barbour are to release a clothing collection in homage to legendary hollywood actor Steve McQueen.
The Barbour 'International' first launched specifically in 1936 aimed at the motorcycling market was soon to be uniform of choice for the British International Teams right through to the late 70's. In 1964 while on a trip to London, the USA International Six Day Trials (IDST) team chose it as the best proven defence while racing in the European weather due to its durability and ergonomic design. One of the men competing for team USA in this prestigious event was Steve McQueen, and so it was from this illustrious pairing and McQueens passion for racing and personal love for Barbour that became the inspiration behind the 75th anniversary collection.
As well as the classic International, the highly limited Barbour Steve McQueen Collection will also feature other jacket designs, knitwear, shirts and t-shirts all inspired by vintage photographs of the man himself. The coolest collaboration of 2011, not one to be missed!
