The Short Parka and Field Jacket from Ten C's Spring-Summer '13 collection have just recently arrived at The Bureau in Belfast.
—01. Waterproof and breathable custom Japanese fabric.
—02. Detachable hood with wire snorkel and drawstrings.
This season Ten C released a shortened version of their classic parka, in order to provide another option for those that might struggle to wear a longer jacket. The hood size has also been reduced to make for a more manageable piece, while both these changes have been made without losing any of the jacket's original quality, design and detail.

—01. Red Field Jacket with Tobacco Down Liner.
—02. Orange Snow Smock with Dark Grey Down Liner.
For Fall-Winter '12 Ten C have opted to introduce a splash of colour to their collection. As with the garments they have released previously, each are made to accommodate various modular liners for the body and hood, leaving you with plenty of ways to mix colour, tone and texture.

—02. Made in Italy.
The fine folks over at The Bureau have just received a small reorder of Ten C product, and the standout for me is this Olive Field Jacket. The design is extremely close to the original 1960's US Army version, and the improvements are subtle but welcome: a breathable but water resistant custom made fabric, and a few small tweaks in fit and detail. If you don't already have something like this in your wardrobe, this might be the only garment of its kind that you'll ever need.

Ever since the rumours began that Paul Harvey had returned from his self-imposed designing exile, I was eager to discover more about the new line he would be launching with fellow Stone Island and CP Company alumni Alessandro Pungetti. Once the images appeared online last fall, I was instantly impressed with the refined back-to-basics approach the pair had taken to their outerwear brand. Re-imagining classics that have been altered for improved fit and constructions, Ten C also employs the use of custom fabrics produced in Japan and finished in Italy on all of their products. The removable liner, which is available for purchase and addition to any of this season's pieces, is a nice touch, and while the price may well be prohibitive, the craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail can be in no doubt. The Ten C website is also worth a few minutes of your time; here you can listen to the designer Paul Harvey discuss each and every piece in the brand's minimal 7 piece, 4 colour, 1 fabric collection.
