Oi Polloi and Henry Lloyd have teamed up to release the Viking and the Round the World sailing jackets. The jackets will be sold exclusively at Oi Polloi.
More information: The Viking is a sturdy overhead smock, made from 21st century “Bri-Nylon” and is available in four colours – yellow, orange, white and royal blue. It comes fully waterproof with elasticated cuffs, taped seams and a chunky Ri-Ri zip.
The Consort RWR jacket is the work of legendary Italian designer Olmes Carretti – best known for his imaginative use of colours and contrasts. The shape of the jacket takes inspiration from traditional outerwear you’d be more likely to see in the countryside and yet still has strong overtones of it’s nautical heritage. It’s made from the same Bri-Nylon outer fabric evident in the Viking, yet the addition of a cord collar brings about an air of formality. The Round the World jacket is available in navy, sky and lavender.
The Bry-Nylon fabric used across both jackets is a nice contrast to the more traditional fabrics like wax cotton which have become popular in outerwear design recently. In terms of fit the re-issued jackets are cut to a slimmer, more tailored silhouette when compared with the original jackets.
