NIGEL CABOURN A/W 2011/12

-->

English designer Nigel Cabourn has a passion for vintage clothing, function and essential details. His menswear collections present high-quality reinterpretations of functional workwear based on historic examples, expedition or army clothing. As well as a remake of his legendary Everest Parka, Cabourn is presenting in his collection special collaborations such as bags by Brady Bags and trousers by ARN Mercantile.

Nigel Cabourn lives and works in Newcastle in England, from where he travels to all corners of the globe. On his journeys, in vintage stores and at flea markets he collects clothing and ideas for his collections. Old illustrated books and publications about expeditions, motorsports or military history provide him with design inspiration for his work.

His philosophy as a fashion designer is based on an ambitious, down-to-earth principle. “The design style typical for me is very authentic,” explains Nigel Cabourn. “First and foremost, a jacket should fulfil its purpose. Functional details are central to my work.” He attaches particular importance to the intricate workmanship as well as the use of durable and hard-wearing fabrics, some of which, true to the original, are reissued especially for him. “To commemorate the 100th Harris Tweed we created an exclusive series including a jacket, waistcoat, trousers and a duffle coat made of a particularly thick tweed fabric,” explains Cabourn. The garments, which are produced in small quantities for his label, have become sought-after collector’s items. Cabourn has them produced exclusively in Japan and Great Britain and sometimes works with manufacturing sites that otherwise only produce for the British military.

Rare and well-preserved originals, which he stores in his archive of currently over 2,000 items, fascinate him. Follow the link below to see Nigel Cabourn talking about the inspiration of the new A/W 2011 collection.

LEVI'S VINTAGE CLOTHING - 501 XX Limited Edition

Levi's - the mother of all jeans. Sewn in the USA, using the patterns of collector's items from the archives, Levi's Vintage Clothing is reissuing the legendary Levi's 501 Rose Bowl from 1933 and the Levi's 501 from 1947 with their special characteristic traits.

Traditional details like riveted back pockets, chinch backs as well as brace buttons complete the must-have item.

The Byrd House Project - Exhibition by Woolrich

In the 1930s Admiral E. Richard Byrd developed the fabric, which, due to the density of its structure alone, is water-repellent and windproof. He had it patented as the first American cotton fabric and it was successfully used during the Byrd Antarctica expedition in the year 1939.

While researching for the new collection the Woolrich design team came across the historic fabric and asked an Italian fabric manufacturer to reproduce the matt, robust and breathable material.







The Byrd House is installed in the 14 oz. backyard next to the colourful garages.

Join us for drinks at the bar and some BBQ!

Opening hours:
4th & 5th July: 10 a.m. to 08 p.m.
6th & 7th July: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (BREAD & BUTTER SHOPPING NIGHTS)

Limited special edition Woolrich Arctic Parka for 14 oz. Berlin

Exclusively for the Berlin 14 oz. store, the oldest US-American outerwear brand Woolrich is rereleasing the legendary Arctic Parka in a limited edition of 600 coats worldwide for the A/W 2011/12 season: in five new colours and made for the first time from Byrd Cloth.



Founded in 1830 by John Rich and his brothers, traditional company Woolrich is synonymous with functional and timeless jackets. The symbiosis of tradition and modernity, of long-lasting products and robust materials are the reasons behind the brand‘s huge success.

Woolrich originally designed the Arctic Parka for the workers constructing the pipeline from Alaska to North America in the year 1972. And to this very day the thick down filling still protects from extreme winds, persistent snowstorms and freezing cold temperatures as low as -40° Celsius. During winter, the adjustable hood with coyote fur trim is regularly seen protecting the ruddy faces of urban workers from wind, rain and snow.

The Arctic Parka made from Byrd Cloth is a homage to the reliable functionality of the Woolrich classic – and based on the faithful reproduction of the rediscovered Byrd Cloth material, takes it one step further. In the 1930s Admiral E. Richard Byrd developed the fabric, which, due to the density of its structure alone, is water-repellent and windproof. He had it patented as the first American cotton fabric and it was successfully used during the Byrd Antarctica expedition in the year 1939. While researching for the new collection the Woolrich design team came across the historic fabric and asked an Italian fabric manufacturer to reproduce the matt, robust and breathable material.



Made in Italy to exacting quality standards Woolrich is presenting the Arctic Parka made from Byrd Cloth exclusively for 14 oz. in five clean and vibrant colour variations: Bottle Green, Bright Yellow, Royal Blue, Burnt Orange and Dark Navy.



Special extras on the limited edition are the YKK metal zip and a second inside pocket with a press stud fastener and the Byrd Cloth label. Consecutive numbering on the joint Woolrich and 14 oz. label makes every parka a unique collector‘s item.

Thanks to its classic silhouette and the width adjustable waistband the Arctic Parka fits both ladies and men and is available in sizes XS-XXL.

The parka will be available to purchase from July 2011 at 14 oz. Berlin.

Price: 799.90 EUR
