The North East of England and the United States' northeast coastline have long shared a common stylistic dna, with intertwining strands of preppy and workwear influences. nyc label noah's newest collection with South Shields-based Barbour explores that intersection, combining the iconic silhouettes of the hardy waxed jackets with spring-ready fabrics and utilitarian details. Hailing from a background in some of streetwear's most venerated labels, noah founder Brendon Babenzien has continually introduced graphic T-shirts alongside the brand's elevated outerwear and tailoring. This T-shirt from the collaboration, for example, offers a playful vintage-inspired floral graphic, playing into the retro inspirations and springtime feel of the designs.
