It's mid-March, and spring/summer linen products are finally starting to arrive.
Nigel Cabourn's linen products have received high support from both inside and outside the industry, and their quality is guaranteed.
This time, we would like to introduce some catchy vests that have arrived from among these linen products.
CRICKET VEST REVERSIBLE - LINEN PIN OX
Item No. 80480070000
Color: Off White / Ivory / Charcoal Gray
Size (UNISEX): 42 / 44 / 46 / 48 / 50 / 52
This season's theme is "THE BRITISH INDIAN ARMY"
As the name suggests, this collection focuses on the UK and India, but there is one sport that is popular in both countries.
That's cricket.
Cricket is a ball game that originated in England and is said to be the original sport of baseball.
Due to the influence of British colonialism, it is mainly popular in the British cultural area (Britain, Australia, India), and is said to be the second most popular sport in the world after soccer.
Although it is not familiar in Japan, I think you have heard the name.
In fact, Nigel Cabourn's predecessor brand was also called "CRICKET."
That's why it became a sport that Nigel also loved.
Each store will be handing out the above logo stickers to those who have added you as a LINE friend, so please register. (Surprisingly there aren't many anymore...)
Now that that's out of the way, let's get back to the main topic.
The design of this product is a compromise between the pullover vest used by the French military in the 1950s and 1960s and the Childen knit worn during cricket and tennis.
The lack of pockets on the front and the one-stripe design on the collar and hem indicate that it is more similar to a Childen knit than a French military pullover vest.
As the product name suggests, this product is reversible.
When you turn it over, the color of the body remains the same, but the one-stripe design on the front disappears, and there is a pocket on the bottom right of the front.
If you're looking for something more simple, it's best to wear it on the back.
And the fabric is LINEN PIN OX.
It is characterized by a fluffy texture that is so soft that it is hard to believe that it is linen.
This fabric is made of linen number 15 single yarn and is finished with a high-density plain weave structure. You may have heard of cotton pin ox, but linen is quite rare.
Unlike cotton, linen does not have elasticity, so if you try to weave it densely, the threads will break.
For this reason, Nigel Cabourn had the factory adjust the room temperature and the amount of force applied to the machines, making it possible to manufacture high-density linen.
This means that it is a fabric that can only be produced by a weaver with reliable technology.

Height: 187cm / Wearing size: 52
I think it would be better to keep the styling as simple as this in order to take advantage of the one-stripe design.
Personally, it goes well with 9.5oz 40s USMC LONG SLEEVE SHIRT.
[Kamata]
Height: 175cm / Wearing size: 48
You can also pair it with a shirt like in Kamata or the catalog.
Kamata, who usually prefers oversized clothes, chooses 48.
The size is loose so there is no need to size up.
There is no exception when it comes to colors, so please choose your favorite color.
Personally, I would recommend Off White.
