YMC and Barbour are the latest duos to work in collaboration alongside one another as the duo drops a capsule that prepares for the Fall/Winter 2023 season. The UK-based imprint features a motorcycle influence that also draws inspiration from workwear and militaristic fashion shapes as well.
The main silhouettes stem from a workwear theme and specifically reference the early 50s. The seasonal range is made up of outerwear, clothing, and accessories, and leading the collection is the series of durable worker jackets. These come in the tonal options of either Charcoal Snake print and Sand. It features elements including bellow pockets, detachable hoods, and soft quilted lining which is perfect for the colder seasons of the year.
