BARBOUR BOX QUILTS

To celebrate the new Box Quilts menswear collection, featuring Barbour's iconic 2 inch and 4 inch box stitching, we collaborated with men’s film and television costumier Tom O’Dell and city-dwelling photographer Anthony Lee to see how they style their favourite quilts for effortless, yet practical style that is at home in both the country and the city.


 

OUR GUIDE TO BOX QUILTS

To help you find the right box quilt for you, we asked country-loving, men’s film and television costumier Tom O’Dell and city-photographer Anthony Lee, to bring you a guide to finding the perfect quilted jacket for you, from our new range of Box Quilts.


STYLED FOR THE CITY

"The gilets are perfect for the city as you’re constantly changing temperature through commutes, cafes and shops. They’re also not as puffy as your standard down coat, but definitely provide a similar level of insulation, which comes in handy in tight spots like squeezing on the tube or hopping in a cab."

"These jackets are comfortable in the countryside because they’re practical and protect you from the elements. We live in England with unexpected weather, so the Box Quilt is perfect for this."

A BRIEF HISTORY OF BARBOUR BOX QUILTS

1979

The quilted jacket with its distinctive quilted outer and smart corduroy collar, was first introduced into the Barbour range in 1979 and was originally known as the Countryman. It was developed as a lightweight, practical, warm garment that was easy to wear.

In 1994, the name was changed to Liddesdale and it has been a Barbour favourite ever since. Named after the Liddesdale Valley in the Scottish borders, it is just as much at home the city as it is in the country, whether you're pairing it for a casual trip to town or out in the fields.

Following the success of the Liddesdale quilted jacket in our classic olive colourway, 1999 saw the introduction of rustic and black as new colourways to offer the same lightweight warmth of the original jacket in different shades.

By 2013, there were 18 different Liddesdale styles online across menswear and womenswear. This led to the development of a plethora of box quilt styles, each one with it's own spin on this classic Barbour style.
