CLASSIC UPGRADED: MID 20TH CENTURY MOUNTAINEERING SHELL

Post-war explorers and climbers had to combat life or death weather, yet usually did so in very breathable but only water resistant wool or cotton.

The 1970s saw the advent of laminate synthetic waterproofs, that combined breathability with life saving water resistance at often extreme wind speeds.

The technology has continued to improve, unlike the geeky styling or minimal practicality.

We’ve built a waterproof shell you can wear with rare style. There’s similarly unique cargo pockets and a hood with unparalleled detail.

eVent matte fabric

Rated 20,000 waterproof, 22,000 breathability, eVent have created a fabric that is light yet structured.

It's also soft and matte textured, so it doesn't look or feel like a bin bag.

Hidden vents provide further comfort.

6 proper Pockets

Most waterproofs have a small chest pocket and two zipped hand pockets that scratch.

We've added two huge magnet-clusure cargo pockets, with fine zip-closure hand pockets behind them, for greater comfort.

Then there's two massive cargo chest pockets behind YKK Aquaguard zips.

EXCEPTIONAL HOOD

Why are hoods so overlooked? They'll drive you crazy, or get you killed.

The soft, fully enclosing FRAHM hood design utilises high peripheral vision, so you can actually see. There's a built-in storm peak and 3 rubberised shock cord adjusters, for maximal comfort.

11 sizes, for all men

We tailor for men from 5'4" to 6'10" tall.

With chest sizes from 36" to 56".

That means eleven sizes & free sleeve alterations, unique in jacket brands.

Importantly, we take time to tailor exceptional fabrics that drape flatteringly, not suck around the bits you didn't want to accentuate.

We make you look manly, in a "I want to feel good, but not look like I'm trying too hard" way.

If you're not sure of your size, we can check your exact size easily. Everyone here has been helping men with sizing for years.

PRE-ORDERS ENABLE THE BEST JACKETS

If you know exactly what you're making, all your effort goes into the product, not trying to find ways to sell the excess.

Brands overbuy, then clear their stock in massive sales. Great! Except...

You're buying a cheap jacket, marked expensive so they can discount it and make the same money.

We deliberately don't make enough to meet demand. Every year we run out. Every year we don't run down quality.

Long term reputation, not short term sales targets.

PRE-ORDERS IN DETAIL

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We only make men's jackets. Each classic style is released once a year, at the same time every year.

A year later all the jackets ordered arrive, and we get them out to you with unique certificates of authenticity for that year's edition.

WHEN SHOULD I ORDER?

The short answer is always as soon as you can.

Options run out as we get closer to the arrival date.

We're booking production space and getting fabric made twelve months before they've even been made.

If you see gaps in the options of colour/size, etc, that's an alarm bell.

WHY IS EVERYTHING 20% OFF?

We give you 20% off for pre-ordering. If there's any stock left, or rare returns, they are at full price.

If you're going to pay us in advance and wait, there should be a reward for that. You help us, we help you.

Excellent waterproof

This is my 3rd jacket and the first in lightweight material. It is excellent- the pockets slightly larger for a paperback book. Great finishing .
