But over recent seasons they’ve been working really rather hard to change this perception, back in February 2013 the retailer launched it’s Family brand KIN, designed to appeal to those thirty plus men who appreciate quality, clean-cut tailoring at a competitive price. The collection was John Lewis’ most contemporary own brand formalwear offering. Since then the brand and its Menswear offering has moved on a great deal.

This includes, LAUNDRYMAN by Barbour, inspired by Barbour’s heritage in industrial work wear, the Laundryman capsule brings together shirts, chinos, hoodies and tees, all with a heavily laundered finish and an on-trend distressed look. For this season, Barbour Laundryman will be exclusively available from John Lewis stores.
