You may have noticed that on one of the covers of our latest issue there’s lots of beautiful Barbour buttons on it. The reason being that we went up to Barbour HQ in South Shields recently for a look around their factory and archive whilst also stopping for a chat with their incredibly knowledgable head of menswear, Ian Bergin. You can read all about the Willy Wonka-esque experience swe had seeing Bedales being sewn together and discovering the department where jackets get repaired after being savaged by dogs or blown apart by shotguns by ordering issue 24 here. Whilst you can also check out the interview we filmed with Ian over on the Tessuti blog here .
