The Jacket You Need In Your Life: Albam Weekend

It hasn't taken long for independent label Albam to establish itself as a veritable name on the British menswear circuit. This is thanks primarily to their philosophy of 'Modern Crafted Clothing' - an ethos that couldn't hold more true to their offering - and whilst the idea of contemporary British styling with a clean aesthetic is hardly a game changer, combine it with the sublime form and honest craftsmanship that their garments are reputed for, and you're onto a winning combination (just ask their rapidly expanding base of loyal enthusiasts).

The Weekend Jacket has been constructed with a compact cotton poplin, heavily washed to create a worn in feel. It is however, in my opinion, the detachable waxed cotton hood that gives this jacket an edge, creating a structured contrast to the overall relaxed nature of the garment.

Heritage Research Modified Longline Parka

Utilitarian and timeless are two words that are permanent fixtures in Heritage Research's brand vocabulary. With an ethos that is based around producing traditional rugged garments that match contemporary aesthetics, details play an integral part in the way they work - right down to the painstakingly sourced original fabrics to enlisting only masters of the craft for their production methods. This Modified Longline Parka is a standout piece from the A/W 2010 collection, made from Wax Millerain cotton, and is a prime example of their devotion to functionality and workmanship. Available now along with the rest of the collection at Oi Polloi.
