Nigel Cabourn Aircraft Jacket.....by Shaun Dangerfield

When I was sitting there flicking through the sale's (which I don't like doing) I couldn't help thinking about what spring/summer effort's will be knocking around, within the same day End Newcastle uploaded the Cabourn Aircraft jacket, crafted for summer wear in spring/summer colour's...... perfect .
Made from beeswax coated cotton that mr Cabourn uses on a few of his pieces but not as stiff as the rangoon (summer cameraman jacket upper).
An instant hit and I will be getting a lot of wear out of it, available in sea blue, black, sky blue gingham micro check and this windowpane check being the one I went for.
The best thing about his beeswax cotton is it just gets better with age and feels better, similar to Belstaff and waxed barbour's the more you wear the better it is.
Adjustable fixed hood that fasten's up and gives a high collar as photo's 7 & 8.
Cord waxed line for adjustment's on waist and hood.
Two way zip and popper's.
2 large slant zip closure pockets.
Limited in number as an End Clothing exclusive.
Influenced by aviation design and to withstand what weather throws at you but with comfort and still looking a bit dandy.
I'm sure the weather's picking up........
