Nigel Cabourn

Great news! I've had a few Cabourn pieces on my radar for the last couple of years, the Mallory jacket, and the Cameraman jacket, but that Aircraft jacket looks awesome, and I could quite happily see myself buying the Work vest. Will be in Covent Garden tomorrow after work so may pop in for a look

The man himself has been in and out the shop the past few weeks, keep an eye on his Twitter if you are so inclined.

On a slightly different note they are also going to get some Fine Light Trading rings in so I hear!

Just in the Cabourn shop. Fine Light Trading is coming really soon.

Nigel Cabourn trying on my Irvin.

I seem to be somewhat smitten with this and it's on sale.

Any opinions? Is it worth it? I am just a bit unfamiliar. It would be this or the Sugarcane raw Type II (very different I know)

The Cabourn stuff tends to be well made. It's a different aesthetic to the likes of Sugarcane though.

I like the tunic work jacket. I'd be tempted myself, except it's not in my size.

@Anesthetist the Tunic Work Jacket is down to about £115…

Unfortunately they only have a 48 (roughly a 38" to 40" chest) left in stock.

I ended up buying the SC jacket but might still buy this if it is around in a few weeks.

No one's posted in this thread, so here's my new Sailor's Hat, paired with my old and tatty Taped Seam Ventile Smock.

The hat is awesome. It was made in Japan from a mixture of undyed canvas and moleskin, and has a stitch detail around the brim.

I'd been meaning to get it a few months back, but had thought it'd sold out. Turns out it was set aside for another client, who didn't end up buying it. That's good, because the other one in my size was sold to a heavily tattooed cage fighter, and I didn't fancy my chances of going one-on-one with him in a bid to steal his!

The smock is falling apart, because the sealing tape has come off most of the seams. @Anesthetist is a fan, but I'd suggest avoiding anything that is constructed this way.

The closest thing to my old smock is the Packable Jacket. It's made from Halftex, a nylon fabric, which has a nice feel. I don't know how breathable or waterproof it is.

I'm after the Cameraman Smock, which is made from camouflage Ventile.

There's also the Ventile Cameraman Fishtail. Chris, the owner of Pickings and Parry, really rates this, and reckons it's the best iteration of the design to date.
