- Need weatherproof macintosh or trench with refined tailoring
- Want functional accessories (technical caps, weatherproof tote bags)

Design ethos
Silhouettes favor clean, wearable tailoring with slightly relaxed proportions to accommodate layering. Fabrics are selected for technical performance (Gore-Tex, Pertex, Cordura, AlphaDry) and construction emphasizes weatherproofing, taped seams and functional closures.
