NIGEL CABOURN LIMITED EDITION II >>> SCOTT'S LAST EXPEDITION




On January 18th 1912, Captain Robert Falcon Scott, along 
with four fellow comrades, became the first British explorers to reach the South Pole. Along the way they endured -40°c temperatures and crippling winds. On their return from the Pole, Scott and his comrades all perished from exhaustion, starvation and extreme cold.



The Nigel Cabourn Limited Edition II Collection is based by the 100th Anniversary of this historic event. In preparation for this monumental celebration, Nigel Cabourn visited the Scott Polar Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. Founded in 1920 to honour the achievements of Captain R.F. Scott and his colleagues, the Scott PolarResearch Institute is dedicated to perpetuating the legacy of polar exploration and science through research, education and public outreach activities.


 The Institute investigates the significance of the polar regions in a changing world and continues topreserve and make accessible its world-leading collections of polar books, archival manuscripts, artworks and artefacts.

Nigel Cabourn: “As a designer whose collections are inspired by history and real vintage clothing, my visit to the Polar Institute inspired me to base my AW12 collection on Scott and his team as a dedication to their fantastic feat. The wealth of information I found at the Institute spurred on my inspiration to create 12 individual garments that represent the achievements of Scott and his team on their last expedition. The Institute has a vast library of books on the Antarctic, and keeps the actual garments of the explorers, which have not only influenced my designs, but have inspired me to create new product developments for Harris Tweed, gabardine, and lambs wool as well as new buttons and trims. The aim of this collection is to honour these brave men and to produce real, hardwearing clothes that reflect each of the explorers.


 The persistence and courage of the five explorers have inspired me to create the Nigel Cabourn Authentic Limited Edition II Winter 2012 Collection. The 12 garments in this collection are inspired entirely by this fantastic expedition and produced in the United Kingdom with British fabrics where possible.”

 

The Nigel Cabourn Authentic Limited Edition II, which follows the success of Limited Edition I "The Ascent Of Cabourn" in 2003, consists of 12 pieces, limited to about 100 pieces each on the outerwear and 300 pieces on the knitwear and accessories.

Every garment has an individual sequenced number to show authenticity of the Limited Edition collection. Each individual style is named after an explorer that was on Scott’s expedition in 1912.

TEN C >>> The Emperor’s New Clothes



Ten c sets a strong example against fast moving trends and focuses on value craftmanship and individuality.

“With Ten c we are concentrating on sustainability and have consciously chosen to produce in Italy. Our jackets age with their wearers, acquire a beautiful patina over the years, the surface becomes shinier, the feel softer - it becomes clear: this is YOUR jacket!” explains Paul Harvey, one of the two Ten c founders.


 
TEN C >>> PARKA,
WOOL HOOD FELT AND STACCABILE DOWN LINER, OLIVE

The designers Paul Harvey und Alessandro Pungetti previously worked at Stone Island among others for many years and are considered perfectionists and true product fans. The name Ten c results from Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale “The Emperor’s New Clothes“.


TEN C >>> SMOCK SNOW, UNLINED, GREY

The designs of classics such as the Parka, Field Jacket, Anorak or Smock Snow have been carefully optimised by fine changes and smart details. Reduction to the essential and unconditional aspiration to functionality are values that define the corner stones of Ten c, as well as the innovative material, its processing and an sophisticated lining concept.


 
TEN C >>> FIELD JACKET, UNLINED, BLACK

Developed with specialists in Japan the Ten c duo has created an extremely dense and durable Jersey fabric made of a knitted Polyester-Nylon micro-fibre mix.
 In Italy this breathable material receives a special treatment and is garment dyed in a hot dye bath at 140 degrees, the pigments sink deep into the fibre and the colour tone appears especially intense.
