Barbour Dept. (B) Beacon Sports Tweed JacketGreen

Taking it's name from their long-standing customisation department, the Barbour Dept. (B) collection for AW14 takes inspiration from one of its most iconic customers. Captain George Phillips of the submarine HMS Ursula commissioned a modification of a Barbour one piece motorcycling suit for his men in 1937 after seeing the effectiveness of Barbour's waxed cotton against the fierce conditions. What became known as the Ursula Suit was the only comfort for the men of that submarine when facing the freezing cold sea and is one of the best known bespoke designs the South Shields legendary outdoor outfitter has ever made.

Borrowing the silhouette and detailing of a true modern classic, the Beacon Sports Tweed Jacket is a lightweight jacket constructed with a full 100% wool tweed shell. Constructed with a corduroy lined collar, optional high stance lapel with the signature triangular chin strap and three button closed pockets, it is finished with a large cycling pocket at the rear and a variety if corduroy reinforcement.
