Barbourx NOAH Wading Jacket

The North East of England and the United States’ northeast coastline have long shared a common stylistic DNA, with intertwining strands of preppy and workwear influences. NYC label NOAH’s newest collection with South Shields-based Barbour explores that intersection, combining the iconic silhouettes of the hardy waxed jackets with spring-ready fabrics and utilitarian details.

The Wading jacket exemplifies the collaboration’s philosophy; inspired by Barbour’s Spey jacket, the boxy piece is slightly longer on the body, and swaps the traditional waxed cotton for a light hybrid-aero dry waxed shell that’s reminiscent of classic American workwear. As is to be expected from NOAH, the style retains a series of heritage details, from the classic corduroy collar to the storm skirt and plaid lining – peek inside for a glimpse of the brand’s The Knights Templar logo.
