Supreme x Barbour Waxed Cotton Camp Cap
Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
About the original
The Barbour Wax Sports Cap is a six-panel peaked cap cut from the same 6oz Sylkoil waxed cotton Barbour has used in its Bedale and Beaufort jackets since the 1980s. Sylkoil is the older, unshorn wax finish (applied to cotton while still fresh off the loom) that gives Barbour waxes their characteristic matte surface, in contrast to the glossier thornproof treatment. J. Barbour and Sons was founded in 1894 in South Shields, England by John Barbour to sell oilskins to North Sea fishermen and sailors, and still produces its waxed outerwear at the original Simonside factory. The cap is lined in Barbour's house tartan with a brass buckle-and-strap adjuster at the rear. The SS20 Supreme version uses the same waxed cotton body with a Supreme box logo embroidered on the front panel.
About Barbour
Barbour is a British outerwear company founded in 1894 by Scottish draper John Barbour in South Shields, England. The company began selling oilskins to North Sea sailors and dockers, then perfected a paraffin-waxed cotton process that became the basis for jackets like the Bedale, Beaufort, and Border. Barbour holds Royal Warrants from the late Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III, and remains family-owned under fourth-generation chair Dame Margaret Barbour. The Simonside, South Shields factory has been the headquarters since the 1980s. Supreme has collaborated with Barbour on a Lightweight Waxed Cotton Field Jacket, waist bag, crusher hat, and camp cap.
