Razor Rock n' Roll Menswear

The Neil Barrett 2012 Spring Line Combines Sharp Cuts & Sassy Leather

— June 21, 2011 — Fashion
The new Neil Barrett 2012 Spring/Summer collection recently hit the runways and boasts some serious hardcore styles for men. Where the line lacks in color -- the palette includes mostly blacks, whites, grays and tans -- it makes up for in textures, fabrics and patterns.

The Neil Barrett 2012 Spring/Summer collection takes on a badboy tone and quality with its leather jackets, vests, blazers and trench coats, each embellished with a plethora of utilitarian-style zippers, chains and pockets. The patterns featured in the Neil Barrett 2012 Spring/Summer collection are varied, detailed and bold. My favorite piece from the collection is a crisp-cut white leather jacket that appears to have been splashed with paint.
