Seasons xmas picks- For him: Barbour Tokito Olive Green Spey Fishing Jacket
For the fifth season, the Beacon Heritage range is designed by Tokihito Yoshida, creating a collection rich in Barbour tradition with a fresh, modern twist. The Japanese designers attraction to England began at an early age when his father returned from training with a picture of life in the country.
Inspired by his love of the British countryside, Tokihito’s designs incorporate the detailing he’s renowned for – zip-off hoods, waterproof map pockets, and trench coat vents, that transform into culottes. As if the little details aren’t enough, Tokihito says “the Spey Fishing jacket is one of the most complex and challenging jackets I have ever designed. It has over 240 pattern pieces.”
But it’s more than just impressive pattern cutting, he says, “it is a jacket that you can enjoy wearing and spend time discovering.”
