Barnfield Customs

My name is Mark Warman and my brand is Barnfield Customs. We craft limited edition jackets, designed and made in Great Britain. Responsibly manufactured modern classics inspired by heritage workwear, military uniform and motorcycle culture.

Combining the functionality and durability of military uniform with the form and craftsmanship of British tailoring, I design jackets that marry the two. From fabrics to fastenings, pattern design to construction techniques, I pour over every detail to create timeless wardrobe staples that are both functional and sharp.

I want each jacket to be an investment that stands the test of time and can be passed down from father to son.

Initially inspired by a photo of my Great Grandfather wearing his British army uniform just before shipping out in World War One, my choices are driven by what I feel he would recognise. Quality, durability, responsibility.

When my Great Grandfather signed up to the war effort in 1914, every able bodied man who worked for him walked down to the recruitment office and joined the 7th battalion of the South Staffordshire Regiment at the same time. The 7th was what was known as a ‘Pals’ brigade. Units that allowed friends and workmates to fight together.

I’m continuing that sense of community with our first jacket, the Lawrence. A jacket that’s taken more than four years and countless prototypes to go from a design sketched on the back of an envelope to a finished product. As part of the development, I worked with Thomas Moore, an artist based in Yorkshire, to create a bespoke piece of art that is printed onto the quilting that lines the inside of each jacket. The piece was specifically designed so that no two jackets have the same artwork on them. My hope is that this will help to create more connections as people stop to talk to each other to discuss the art.

The Lawrence jacket is just the start. Once it’s launched, I’ll release three to four new designs every year. They will always be limited in quantity so that I can personally oversee the quality of each one. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. I’ll only ever produce the exact amount of jackets preordered, drastically reducing wastage and ensuring that we can deliver the best possible quality every time.
