To celebrate 75 years since Barbour introduced the iconic International jacket, it will be reissued as a limited edition in its original green. The daddy of all motorcycle jackets, the Barbour International boasts a design that many have followed, but none have bettered. Barbour's rich motorcycling heritage roars to the fore in 2011 - 75 years since the company first entered the world of competitive motorcycling - and won.
Created specifically for the 1936 International Six Day Trials that supplied its name, the Barbour International - in original green and later classic black - was the jacket for competitive motorcyclists through the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. It was the flagship style in a rich range of Barbour motorcycling garments. Steve McQueen, a devoted rider, wore one. So did his friend, the legendary stunt rider Bud Ekins - the man who made the famous fence leap in The Great Escape. Barbour is producing special limited-editions of the original Barbour International jacket. Recreated for modern style connoisseurs, the original green International comes in two finishes, both multi-pocketed, belted and carrying the famous Ancient Tartan lining. The first is a box fresh version. The second, for purists, is a painstakingly-crafted distressed finish, which creates the patina and look of an aged International. Both finishes faithfully replicate the original Barbour International with its six pockets - four in front and two behind ensuring the rider could carry everything that was required for a day in the saddle. Highly collectible and extremely limited edition (just 75 of each finish, per territory), they are the ultimate homage to Barbour's unsurpassed motorcycling heritage
