Barbour Waxed Cotton New Utility Jacket
Filed under: Apparel, Men's Style

For its Spring / Summer collection which we previewed back in March, famed British clothing company Barbour has come out with an updated version of its classic waterproof waxed jacket. While this time of year usually calls for seersucker, the weather just isn't co-operating so waterproofs are de rigeur. The New Utility jacket (above), part of the company's Contemporary line, features slimmer proportions, cargo-style pockets and a smaller collar. Lined in classic Barbour Tartan, the jacket is made of the company's classic mediumweight 6 oz. Barbour Sylkoil waxed fabric. Barbour, which was founded in 1894 and holds Royal Warrants from Queen Elizabeth II, The Duke of Edinburgh, and The Prince of Wales, is further expanding on tradition with artfully updated designs like this one.



Did you ever take a small, portable TV (probably of the variety that always got horrible reception) into the bathroom and set it up on a TV tray so you could watch Seinfeld (or other show) while taking a bath? Don't lie, of course you did. Baths are relaxing, but dull, and having something to watch while you enjoy the water and bubbles makes the experience perfect.
