Barque Fall 2012 With the approach of colder climes, Barque NYC has prepared by bolstering up their contemporary take on menswear classics for the Fall 2012 collection. The collection combines grandpa accents reminiscent of English gentry with the laid back luxe of Parisian style. An array of relaxed fit, unconstructed blazers in quilted and windowpane wool, double-breasted tweed along with embroidered blue and white sailor stripes are each complemented by a matching vest, encapsulating Barque's signature style of casual coordination. Button downs are tailored and refined down to the most minuscule details. Checks, chambray, gingham and jacquard shirting are offered in cool shades of blue, grey and off white, while brushed cotton plaids are made in autumnal hues of auburn, garnet, stone and burnt sienna. Contrasting accents come in the form of elbow patches, trims, front plackets and top stitches to complete each shirt as looks unto themselves. Henleys, cardigans and sweaters are crafted from terry fabric, denser cottons and wools in color block patterns alongside statement pieces among the array of luxurious knits, including the sailor stripe jumper with elbow patches, the ash grey shawl collar button down with mother of pearl buttons and the old timer chic jacquard cardigan and matching vest. The collection is completed with the immaculately crafted line of outerwear. Classic baseball jackets are revived in muted blue and grey, barracuda jackets are made over in stunning windowpane wool while pea coats and trenches are stripped back, with the removal of linings for a more casual fit. Sumptuous terry pea coats offset the handsome pin stripe, structure free topcoats in grey heather, plaid and charcoal shades while the standout piece, the Donegal tweed motorcycle jacket epitomizes Barque’s reinvigoration of classics unassisted. Barque’s Fall 2012 collection amalgamates the prim and proper demeanor of the elite with a deconstructed take on tailoring and fit, to achieve a hybrid aesthetic both teetering on the cutting edge and yet, quintessentially traditional.
