The UK brand has certainly prioritized strategic partnerships this season as this drop with Japanese label Wander comes shortly after the British company's collaboration with [NOAH](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noah-3). The Barbour and Wander capsule reworks classic silhouettes like the [Bedale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noah-and-barbour) jacket with a modern lens. Wander adds "durable waterproof construction, hand warmer pockets, a removable hood, and 3M hits" to this design. The collection also includes a hooded parka with a ripstop shield, as well as the casual Pivot jacket with snap pockets and chest zippers. Aside from outwear, Wanter also focuses on layering with flannel shirts and cardigan-style fleeces that feature details like "Tartan design and distinctive corduroy collars."
