The Rise of Barbour Jackets in Urban and Terrace Style

It doesn’t seem a very long time ago that Barbour jackets were perhaps something that was generally only associated with middle aged country gentlemen who spent more time hunting and shooting small furry and feathered creatures than walking the streets of the UK’s biggest cities or mixing it up on the terraces on a Saturday afternoon - but there is no doubt in my mind that the biggest name to emerge in the world or urban clothing and designer terrace wear in winter 2020 so far has to be the Barbour brand.

Perhaps most famous for their quilted Men's and ladies jackets, the uptake of the brand in major high street and online stores that had been more famously connected with urban clothing and terrace fashion has helped propel this classic winter warmer into a brand new audience of fashion lovers and chart territory that it had perhaps never imagined it would take. Both stylish and practical, the Barbour brand is great to keep lads warm on the terraces this winter - and with a more “fitted” range of quilted men’s jackets in the brand’s winter 2010 range that also come with a more stylish waste length fit compared with many of their previous models, the latest quilted men’s jackets such as the Barbour Embleton (which also sports a rather cool high button up neck as seen above) and Barbour Chelsea are now increasingly been worn by fashionable gents of the inner city rather than the countryside.

Avoid Buying Fake Lyle and Scott Jumpers Online

With over 130 years of tailoring tradition behind it, the brand we all know and love as Lyle and Scott have burst out of Scotland to become one of the worlds best known men’s designer labels. Famous for its Lyle and Scott jumpers, polo shirts and now even pumps and jackets the demand for this brand has soared over the last few years as it has re-established itself at the forefront of men’s designer clothing.

However, with great popularity comes a temptation to imitate, and inevitably various websites have emerged selling fake Lyle and Scott jumpers that have tarnished the name of other legitimate online retailers. If you are looking to buy a Lyle and Scott online there are however a few tell tale signs that can help you spot if the shop and product is bogus.

Firstly, consider the price of the garment. Lyle and Scott have established a policy whereby they will not discount one particular style within a line without offering reduced rates on the whole line of products. Therefore put simply, if other stores and other lines within that season of Lyle and Scott clothing have not been reduced in price, there is a possibility that the product may be fake. Also, check out the legitimacy of a retailer by reading reviews of their products and services on independent men’s fashion blogs and websites. Checking out the official Lyle and Scott brand website may also help you identify licensed retailers both on the high street and online.

When checking if a Lyle and Scott jumper is real or fake you can also see some giveaway signs on the garment itself. If the famous golden eagle logo so synonymous with the brand’s vintage jumper range is not a separate and independently created piece that has then been stitched directly onto the jumper then the item is most likely fake. By taking the time to check the interior of the jumper you should be able to identify this easily enough (although you obviously cannot do this when buying online). Also, the quality of the material from which Lyle and Scott jumpers are made clearly should stand out from other cheap imitations, as the brand are famous for their use of quality materials in their men’s designer clothing.

Denham Set to Be the Next Big Name in Mens Designer Clothing

We’ve been privileged enough to see some great new brand names in emerging in the world of men’s designer jeans over the last few years. Names like Nudie and Edwins have really stepped up to the plate with their innovative jeans designs and the use of cutting edge materials such as Japanese denim. Nudie and Edwins jeans have built their names in the world of fashion by creating ranges of men’s jeans that have brought quality and style to the market that have rivalled even long established brand names like Levis when it comes to jean making. Whether you are a fan of the unwashed raw denim designs or prefer the more distressed “5 year worn” look jean models, there is little doubt that the last few years have heralded a new era in men’s casual fashion wear as jean designers across the globe look to take what is an age old men’s clothing product into a brand new era.


However, this year has seen a new name emerge as a major contender as one of the world top jeans designer: Denham. Formed only last year in 2009, this great new brand name’s key philosophy is all about innovation and experimenting with denim and other materials, seeking to make the best men’s designer jeans that stand out from the crowd. The brands distinctive scissor logo is easily recognisable under close examination but used in cute detail on their products – unlike some labels that emblazon their name on their clothing in rather unsubtle and unnecessary levels. Look out for Denham jeans as a major new name in the world of men’s designer clothing over the next few months.
