Over the past six months the Inventory team has traveled down to Seattle twice to meet with Eddie Bauer's team and Nigel Cabourn. We've watched the collaborative project grow and bloom over that time and we're excited to be working on an article for our next issue, to coincide with the launch of Nigel's designs for the iconic American outfitters. The small collection is now online at Eddie Bauer's website to have a look at. We'll also be stocking select pieces this coming fall in the Stockroom.

"One of Nigel Cabourn's new styles for the spring is the Aircraft Jacket. Quick to become another classic, the aviation influence played a big role in this spring's collection. This is without doubt our favorite piece from his recent offering. Made in apple green cotton camebric, the light weight jacket is a great all-year round piece."

Nigel Cabourn's collection has started to roll out for the spring and its no surprise that most stockists have picked up the Aircraft jacket. It's the standout piece of the season and its available in some really nice colors. We just received it in the blue and apple green, but Oi Polloi were first to get up the green option which is probably the best of the pack. The weight of the jacket is really nice, ideal for most of the year when paired with some warm layers. The zipper, buttons and hood all feel nicely balanced as it's probably one of Nigel's best new pieces in the last couple season.

A few spring deliveries are starting to show up and one of the notables is a special version of Nigel Cabourn's Aircraft jacket. It's one of the best pieces in the spring collection and End of done a couple special fabrics this season. The blue waxed oxford is definitely my favorite. I quite like the tone and how it would work with my other spring and all year-round pieces.

Two of our good friends have linked up again for a special product. The Army Gym is one of the best shops in Tokyo, and its not surprising to see that Yuki and Nigel have teamed up on another pair of Hunt boots, this time using a military Ventile fabric to accent the brown leather and crepe soles.

—01. Made in Scotland.

Words

I can't believe this sweater hasn't sold out everywhere. I suppose it's not the cheapest on the market, but it's surely one of the best this fall. It's made with a beautiful navy merino wool and the neck is cut just right - an absolute nautical classic.
"Fairly fitted and extremely soft, Nigel Cabourn's Submarine knit is a new style for this season featuring a small chest pocket and hidden pouch pocket across the front. The tubular neck is cut in classic Guernsey style and the cuffs and hem are ribbed to keep the cold at bay."

Words

Nigel Cabourn has been picking up steam in terms of press and hype in the last couple of seasons, but without question this fall's collection measures up to that. Nigel always offers an incredible selection of outerwear, but the Cameraman is probably one of his most sought after, wearable and iconic pieces. Available in navy and army, the combination of Mackintosh and Harris Tweed is at its finest this season.

Nigel Cabourn 4-Way Rollneck

—01. Made in England.

Words

"Originally made using authentic Colonial Wool, woven straight from the sheep to give a coarse and natural handle to the garment. This piece is inspired by the jumper worn by Tom Bourdillion who was famously pictured wearing it inside-out."

This fall's 4-way rollneck sweater is one of the stand out items in one of Nigel's best collections to date. A big part of that is how directly some of the pieces are inspired by his 2003 Ascent collection. This sweater has a great texture and although the wool has a bit of a rough hand, you can tell it will age and wear beautifully. It also happens to be one of the best priced items this season, which is great considering the quality.
