My home is full of Liberty prints, but Barbour has eluded me, though I have worn Mr. C's and felt tremendously warm, dry, sporting and chic, despite the fact that he is over a foot taller than I am.
(Such is the magic of Barbour.)
(And I am not short.)
(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
So gentle readers will understand the racing of my pulse when I learned, via the always-in-the-know Liberty London Girl, that these two terrific companies are collaborating.
A rapid URL-type took me to Liberty's site where I found some lovely Barbour jackets, lined in Liberty.
Here are details of all the tantalizing Tana Lawn /waxed cotton /corduroy collar combinations. Do tell me if you have a favourite!

I am loving the red rose print. I do like a contrasting lining. Once upon a time I served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces & often dreamed of having ceremonial uniforms lined in scarlet silk or similar.
I visited Kelmscott Manor today, where William & Jane Morris lived (and Gabriel Dante Rosetti, before he left in a hurry!). The house is full of textiles designed by William and some of Jane's wonderful embroideries.
In my wildest dreams I imagine wearing a Barbour with my Regent Savoy Hunters (in bitter chocolate) and taking my four dogs (a Great Dane, a Kangal, a Fox terrier and a Beagle) for a walk in the moors after feeding the horses and taking care of the gardens. Having no horses or the funds to purchase an English manor house, I guess I'll have to settle for Barbour and Hunters, those being at least attainable goals
