Every month, we send out an email keeping our community up to date with the latest developments (good, bad or otherwise) and behind the scenes while we build Barnfield, one jacket at a time. You can sign up here to stay one step ahead and as a thank you for your support, you’ll get 20% off any preorder you place.

It started with a question.

Can we develop a lifestyle brand, rooted in motorcycle culture that combines the functionality and durability of heritage workwear and military uniform with the form and craftsmanship of bespoke tailoring?

The Lawrence is the first chapter in our answer to that question.

Inspired by the 1902 pattern service dress tunic worn by British forces and modernised with a tailored fit.

Building our own bikes has connected us with literally hundreds of others doing the same. In every interaction we’ve had, every single person has been positive and genuinely stoked to help.

For us, bikes are a representation of freedom. Whether we’re building them, riding them or inspired by them, they give us purpose, community and a reason to get outdoors — and that’s where life happens right?

Over the next 8 emails, we’ll deep dive into the process of developing our first jacket. From research and development, to fabrics and fastenings, we’ve got a lot to share.

In the meantime, thank you so much for joining us at the very beginning of our journey. If you know anyone else who’d be in to what we’re doing, please spread the word.

Thank you to Chris, Steve, Myles, Sean, Becci, Ben, Amy, Nathan, Lyndsay, Paul, Matt and Richard for signing up this week.

We’re genuinely so grateful to have you on board.

Speak soon,
Mark
