Hope you have all had a good week so far? Here at Number Six we have sure enjoyed all this lovely weather. Lets hope it stays that way!

Barbour x Wood Wood

Wood Wood have taken one of the most iconic Barbour styles, the Bedale, and given it a Danish face lift in this new collaboration between the two brands. You have to be very careful when reworking something as classic as the Bedale and Wood Wood have taken that into effect, with making subtle changes and indiscreet touches the Danish brand have proved triumphant. The Barbour x Wood Wood Bedale will be available at the end of September at Wood Wood stores and their website.
