Nigel Cabourn started out in the fashion world in the early 1970’s and and through various guises has become a very highly regarded “Cult Clothing Designer” creating many iconic and desirable to own outerwear pieces. As a massive vintage clothing collector much of his collection is inspired by Military, Outdoor and workwear iconic pieces from history, sourced from his travels. Along with the aforementioned his clothing is also distinguished by the high quality of fabric and trims that he uses.
Black Training Sweatshirt
Inspired by a number of archival sweaters from the 1970’s, the Training Sweater has been cut longer through the body with a dropped shoulder. This comfortable fit is often a feature of jersey pieces dating around this period; fabric would stretch over time due to the direction in which it was cut.
The Training Sweater features a full flat–lock stitch construction originally designed to add extra strength at the seams when worn during contact sports. Other details include kangaroo patch pocket and embroidered broad arrow on the sleeve.
Made using 330g American loopback jersey, the sweater has been specially developed to replicate the look and feel of classic American sportswear from the 1950’s. Finally, in order to achieve an aged look, each garment has undergone a unique pigment dyeing process in which fading of colour and a dry handle is part of the aesthetic. Further fading will occur through continued wear and washing.
