As any seasoned weekend warrior knows, the perfect escape doesn’t require hours of travel. Sometimes the most restorative retreats are just a short train ride away. Nestled in Lake Forest Illinois, Deer Path Inn offers a taste of the English countryside and has been a cherished gathering place for Chicago city dwellers and travelers alike for nearly a century.

In a fittingly fashion-forward partnership, Barbour and Deer Path Inn have joined forces to bring the charm of the English countryside stateside. Guests of the Inn can borrow Barbour’s signature wax jackets and wellington boots during their stay — the perfect companions for exploring Lake Forest’s picturesque streets and lakeside paths, rain or shine.
