Barbour International has collaborated with New York based lifestyle brand Saturdays NYC to create a three-piece capsule menswear collection for SS25.
The collection, made up of a lightweight wax jacket, a graphic sweatshirt and an oversized T-shirt, completes the Barbour International x Saturdays NYC collection available from 6 March through Barbour.com and selected stockists worldwide.
The collab link is inspired by Barbour International’s motorcycle heritage and Saturdays NYC’s city and surf roots. So the capsule collection “fuses both iconic brands seamlessly… present[ing] lasting quality through a modernised attitude”.
The key Lightweight Wax takes inspiration from Barbour’s original A7 jacket first introduced and created by Duncan Barbour in 1936, which became “synonymous amongst bikers back in the 1960s and 70s”. This reimagined style retains many of the original key details including the angled chest map pocket and robust functionality, we’re told. But it’s given a modern twist as it has been presented in a lighter-weight waxed cotton fabric. Finished with a dual branded logo and a shock-cord hem adjustment for more of a relaxed fit, this jacket is a synergy of both brands.
Featuring a checkered monochrome graphic the sweatshirt “adds a bold statement to a contemporary look” while the graphic T-shirt exhibits Saturdays NYC’s “illusional graphics, with a reference to Barbour International’s black and yellow colour scheme”.
Saturdays NYC said of the second-time collaboration: “Barbour International is a brand that has inspired us since we started designing and to continue this partnership is an exciting commitment to design and craftmanship.”
