UPGRADED CLASSIC: 1940s BRITISH MOTORBIKE TRIALS JACKET

This year we’re renamed the Foreign Correspondent’s Jacket (Nick’s mum was a journalist) after its true heritage - post war British motorcycling.

Originally created to be a long, tough, multi-pocketed coat to protect riders from branches, falls and the weather, it was popularised by motorsport nut, Steve McQueen.

However, today’s examples have dropped in quality. The design has barely moved on, using sticky old-style waxed cotton, which is heavy, unpleasant and needs re-proofing.

We have taken the archetype, and developed it into a more comfortable, higher specification jacket, subtly using modern developments for a versatile travel jacket.

BUILT TOUGHER

From the British Millerain dry-waxed cotton you can drag through brambles (then machine wash), to the armoured shoulders, to the world's best AustriAlpin Cobra belt buckle, this is a jacket built for a lifetime of work.

MORE BEAUTIFUL DETAILING

We've dispensed with the usual soft, shiny brass snaps, utilising gunmetal Cobrax B:lock snaps, used by special forces worldwide.

There are subtle design tweaks everywhere, from the cotton cashmere lining to the scalloped cuffs for greater coverage over the knuckles.

Hell, we've even put burst-snaps at the hem, so if you sit down too fast, the long jacket will open, not leave you stuck.

BUSINESS TRAVEL POCKETS

When Nick flies, he wears this. The huge cargo pockets can accept water bottles (plural), noise cancelling headphones, passport, snacks, book, and more.

He can walk straight into a meeting, with all that stuff, and still look smart, yet still get coffee in a dodgy part of town, and fit in.

Add in some trans-Himalayan bike trekking, and it's quite the jacket.

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.
