Oi Polloi recently teamed up Denmark’s Norse Projects – a relatively new brand that, in the space of just a few seasons, has established itself as an Oi Polloi favourite. With both out hometowns sharing a slightly crappy climate a joint venture in outerwear production seemed like a good idea.
Steve Sanderson, owner of Oi Polloi describes the inspiration for the collaboration:
“For me, it’s all about rambling, walking and camping in mid to late seventies, it’s the kind of jacket the old guys would be wearing. At the time we thought they looked pretty cool.”
“The jacket we found and chose to use for inspiration is one my favourite outerwear pieces. It was in part designed by a legendary British mountaineer Chris Bonington… we love that it’s cotton, just using 2 layers. A superb simple design. Also, the hoods a great shape and the length a little longer than most jackets – but not so long as to make it a fully fledged mod parka.”
British Millerain waxed cotton, Primaloft insulation, Talon zippers, wrist gators and an embroidered Norse X Oi Polloi scout patch have been used to create a great winter piece.
The Oi Polloi x Norse Projects Parka will be available from www.oipolloi.com priced £299.00
