The new Barbour x WP collaboration

The collaboration between Barbour and WP represents much more than a simple union between two brands: it is a creative dialogue that has flourished for over forty years, based on shared values, a passion for quality, and respect for tradition. Today, this synergy is renewed through an exclusive capsule collection designed to combine the essence of British aesthetics with a deep love for vintage, taking us on a journey that brings back sartorial memories preserved over time. The new collaborative collection draws inspiration from the WP Archive, a symbolic place where fashion, history, and culture converge. The archive is not just a container of vintage garments, but a true generator of ideas, a creative laboratory that engages with the present through the voices of the past. From this heritage comes a capsule that merges historical authenticity with contemporary design, thanks to the reinterpretation of three iconic Barbour models.

The first is the renowned Bedale Washed Wax Jacket, a classic revisited with leather details that enhance its elegance without betraying its original spirit. Next is the Bedale Wax Vest, designed as the perfect companion piece to the jacket, and finally a blazer inspired by workwear but reinterpreted to suit urban life. All garments retain the iconic tartan lining, an unmistakable symbol of Barbour, and are made from the finest materials, such as English leather, which adds further character and durability. What makes these pieces even more special is the production process they have undergone. For the first time in the brand’s history, Barbour introduces the washed wax technique, an innovation that breaks from tradition while still honoring it. This method, combined with stone washing treatment, gives the fabrics a lived-in look, similar to the most treasured archive pieces. The combination of the two techniques gives each garment a unique softness and strength, along with an authentic and charming aesthetic.
