Forager Technical Barn Jacket - Bistre
Forager Technical Barn Jacket - Bistre
45% Cotton, 16% Nylon, 39% Polyester
The Technical Barn Jacket is our contemporary take on the traditional workwear jacket. Inspired by the rustic charm of countryside, its design pays homage to heritage workwear while fabrication is updated with respect and modern sensibilities.
Extending the idea of our ‘Sueded’ series where textiles come with a sueded finish, this piece is crafted from a water-resistant, windproof, and breathable performance fabric with an enzyme treatment wash. Consciously sourced from a leading textile mill in Como, Italy, the blended cloth strikes the perfect balance of protection and comfort, with synthetics lending lightness without compromising durability, emphasising agility.
Built for movements, the jacket features a raglan-sleeve design, a robust yet straight body profile. The single-coloured silhouette is contrasted with thoughtfully placed corduroy accents on the cuffs, collar, and pocket trims for warmth and tactility. Its design combines practicality with understated elegance, achieving a balance between rugged workwear and refined style. Various pockets are equipped both externally and internally, with rain flaps also equipped for full weatherproof sensibility.
Mostly casual, but for a sartorial flair, pairing it with suits and jackets is equally ideal as a step down from substantial outerwear.
Pair this with: all sport jackets for elevated pairing, or with knitted sweaters and Civilman Trousers.
Also available in Burnt Umber and Hunter Green.

100% Supima Cotton
An extension to our iconic knitted t-shirt, this is a piece designed with cooler seasons in mind, knitted in long sleeves and heftier yarn. A reinterpreted design inspired by the fishermen's sweaters and vintage sportswear, this is the culmination of contemporary and ‘high vintage’.
The sweater style features a simple design with specific proportions — a higher neck, ribbed sleeve and collar, shorter body and longer ribbed hem. The detail allows the sweater to hug around your trousers’ waistband without going too long or needing to be tucked in, maintaining good overall proportions even when paired with mid to high-rise trousers and sport coats.
This product is made of 6-ply Supima cotton, handpicked and sustainably farmed. (Please read our Ethical Sourcing and Production Statement). Incorporating full knitted construction, this knitwear gives a structured body and shaping, while can still being able to be machine-washed. To enhance the luxurious silken finish and soft hand, the garment has gone through a tumble washing procedure in a final step unique to The Anthology.
Pair this with: practically anything in your wardrobe, be it a Suit, Sport Jacket or Lazyman Jacket. Colour-wise we suggest black, brown, grey and white. Boots and sneakers are also suitable.
Also available in 7 other colours.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only.
100% Cotton
Inspired by midcentury work shirts, this is a big, relaxed shirt that emphasises on a straighter fit, with dual large chest pockets for a true presentation of utilitarian and fundamentalism. With a strong focus on the use of sturdy textiles and double-needle stitching, the reinforced seams provide both durability and a contrasting design detail, making it ideal for heavy-duty use. This versatile work shirt can be comfortably layered over or under other garments.
We continue to explore the diverse possibilities of pure cotton. For this design, we used special nep yarn, resulting in a robust textile with a grainy texture and flecks for tactile and visual interest. This texturised cotton mimics chambray while avoiding the typical workers' blue, offering a masculine yet sophisticated tonal feel. Although it starts with a strong handle, it will soften over time.
Pair this with: Canvas Pleated Wide Trousers in biscuit or white, Cotton/Linen Double Pleated Shorts in navy or any Civilman Trousers.
Also available in ghost grey and white seersucker, Aegean stripes, and off-white

Suitable for all smart to casual settings, there is nowhere this pair of trousers can’t take you.
Civilman Trousers are the relaxed versions of your tailored dress trousers. Like a chino, it is at the same time a step-up of the rugged jeans/classic denim. It embodies a modest and courteous image, mostly casual with a hint of dressiness. The cloth is the ultimate highlight. The ecru denim is elevated by subtle dispersed flecks of espresso or black, like vanilla pod in ice cream. It evokes an instinctive raw-looking charm, adding an extra layer of casualness to the garment.
This design is based on the classic five-pocket denim, built-in with curved inset pockets on the sides of the front with a coin pocket (formerly referred to as a watch pocket). The traditionally big patch back pockets are purposely replaced with our signature anchor-shaped flaps. Cut for a mid to high-rise, straight-legged, perfect for tailoring and casualwear. Wear them pressed with the centre crease or without, up to your preference.
Pair this with: Uppers we recommend Deep Blue Linen Shirt,Boating blazer in Dark Beige/Ink Boating Stripes, short sleeve polo in club navy or tennis white and our knitted t-shirts Navy/White Nautical Stripes, Brick Red/White Nautical Stripes or any colours in our classic knitted t-shirts such as caramel,mustard, navy.
