Barbour Thornhill

Fresh from Barbour's back room. The Thornhill. South Shields finests take on the classic four pocket parka in a hikerdelic olive. Plenty of pockets for the compass and Kendal mint cake.

Pleased with this pick up. Headed to Bede blindly, armed only with a few bob of cold hard Christmas cash and no clue if there'd be owt decent. Been a few years since I've visited and I was pleasantly surprised that Barbs have done the place out. Unfortunately I wasn't pleased with the calibre of stock, wave after wave of beige utility jackets and dayglo plasticky looking Internationals. Until I spied this beauty. The only one in the whole place and in my size to boot. Lucky man. £79 down from £220 due to a slight smudge of the B inside. Beautiful.

The eagle eyed amongst you may notice the Clarks Seam Treks pictured too. Another purchase on the same day but you'll have to wait for another blog soon...
