Oi Polloi and Henri Lloyd have teamed up to reproduce some of Henri Lloyd’s classic 1960s sailing jackets – namely the Viking and Consort RWR (Round the World Race). While both the original jackets were originally intended to be worn out-at-sea (Sir Francis Chichester chose to wear them on his pioneering voyage around the world in 1966) their stand-out design meant they were appropriated as something simply to be worn out-and-about. Almost twenty years after the original release, dapper Milanese youths associated with the Paninaro scene adopted the jackets in a European take on the preppy look seen sported by American college students.
Both jackets will be limited in numbers and exclusive to Oi Polloi.
When will these be available??
