Idly browsing Barbours on eBay (I love a Barbour, me) I came across this collaboration - a mashup I've never heard of before. Barbour x Triumph, manufactured from Cordovan Horween steer.

What do we think?

I confess that whilst I love an International, this looks a bit hard work to me, and with so much leather making up so much jacket, the cordovan is a bit much too.

Well, it looks like a leather Barbour International. With all that heavy HH, I can't imagine it being comfortable. I would think it would work much better in a lighter leather that drapes more.

I've never been a fan of those types of Barbour jackets, but I bet it would look pretty badass with some serious wear and tear on it. I also like that there isn't a Barbour (or any other) logo.

That looks like a heavy beast ... I bet ( once tamed and beaten up a bit ) it would be nice though.

It won't get much love here though .... but I'd wear it :)

I love the leather and the color is a fav of mine. I'm not to keen on the style tho. It would be a stout jacket for sure.

I think the biggest problem, or is it the smallest problem, are the tiny breast pockets! The great thing about the Barbour and the Belstaff equivalent, are the giant pockets. For those of us that use them for motorcycling, we love those big old pockets, you can get a pair of winter gauntlets in the lower pockets, and still have room in the uppers for maps, tools, even a sandwich.
