I might be too into…
Nigel Cabourn
I recently picked up the Beetham Duffle coat (pictured below) and since then, I won’t look back. The quality is exquisite.
The fabric is made in Wellington, UK by Fox Brothers & Co. This is just one of many pieces by Nigel Cabourn that is 100% sourced and made in the UK.
After I got it I started digging on the internet looking for more pieces to try and get my hands on. Sadly, its quite difficult as his stuff is manufactured in very small quantities, and I mean small. They only made 50 of one of his spring jackets!
For some designers they might just cringe at that number as you usually need to move serious units to make a profit but for Nigel, its just another piece he’s delighted he could create.
For now I’m trying to find ways to get these…hmmm….about that Japanese Proxy
Button/Zip Overshirt
Surplus Pant
Canadian Military Coat
Wow! That duffle must have been a pretty penny. Nice.
