The Barbour Steve McQueen 2012 Fall/Winter collection features well-made jackets that fully embrace an American flag motif.
The Baker jacket is based upon the Barbour A7 International motorcycle jacket. The jacket is made from heavy 8oz waxed cotton, and the left chest pocket features an American flag patch. The inside lining of the jacket is a full-sized quilted American flag. Well-made and full of American spirit, this jacket definitely lives up to the Steve McQueen name.
The pictorial does a great job of showing off the fit of this jacket, as well as emphasizing the red, white and blue American colors that give the Baker jacket its patriotic character.
The Barbour Steve McQueen 2012 Fall/Winter collection is completed by a selection of knitwear, shirts and printed tees.
