Barbour Hawk Shirt Review

The key trend this SS15 in menswear is going to be bold patterns and dressed-down. House of Fraser is currently working on a number campaigns with focus on Armani and Barbour brands. Both brands are leading the market with their bold choices of menswear.

My husband loves casual clothing and at the same time simple yet bold in colour. So he chose this Barbour Paisley print hawk shirt to go along with his black trouser and black lace up boots.

Barbour International has been making heritage motorcycle clothing since 1936 with a focus on clothing that is durable and warm. This Hawk shirt is made from 100% cotton for a lightweight, summer-ready feel. It is cut for a contemporary slim fit. Mr C is a size small for long sleeve shirts and this size S shirt fits him well with plenty of room. It is smart and stylish including triple-stitch trims, contrast paisley fabric to the inner yoke and side seams, and a bold Union Jack label to the inside back neck. The outer label tag is kept outside to the chest pocket.

Although this shirt is made from 100% cotton, the clothing feels quite rough and tough on the outside, yet soft on the inside. It is comfortable to wear and Mr C is able to move well without restriction while wearing it.

The shirt is in dark blue and white with a soft sheen finish. It makes the shirt look awesomely cool with the effect. The shirt does crease around the back while sitting and also creases a lot after washing! You need a good iron to get rid of all the creases! Not a hard job but I will pass onto Mr C to do it!

This shirt goes well to wear with jeans and trousers. It is great for many casual occasions and definitely gives men a more dressed-down look. So what do you think about this shirt for the Spring Summer menswear 2015 collection?
