Not that I need an excuse to blog about superstar rebel, Steve McQueen... but to celebrate their upcoming 75th anniversary Barbour have re-launched 'the daddy of all motorcycle jackets,' the International (originally created in 1936). McQueen loved racing motorbikes both on and off screen, was a member of the US elite team at the International Six Day Trial in 1964 and wore Barbour. Here's the jacket and some gratuitous shots of the Hollywood legend:

ReplyDeleteOne word. Phwoooooaaar.
ReplyDeletePhwooooooaaar indeed. What a bloke. xxx
ReplyDeleteI thought about buying one of those -or trying to- as it looks so damned cool on Mr McQueen. But then I remembered that a) I have far too many jackets anyway and b) it wouldn't look nearly as good on me.
ReplyDeleteThat smile !- awesome and at his best in The Thomas Crown Affair in my view...(think he wore a polo-neck in that!)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Steve McQueen, whatever he's wearing. Ditto Vix xx
ReplyDeleteHe is beautiful. Good to welcome back the coat. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing the movie The Great Escape at the theater. It was fabulous and Steve McQueen was a standout.
ReplyDeleteStill a legend quite Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteJacket not bad either! x
Mmmmm. Can see those blue blue eyes even though the photos are in black and white!
ReplyDeleteAs if a jacket could turn you into Steve McQueen... But then it's always so good to look at him.
