Nottingham has had its fair share of good clobber. One True Saxon was the richest plum of all, and, when OTS lost its way in the mid naughties, in 2006 Albam stepped in to take the 'Notts Finest' crown.
The cult brand is now based in swanky Soho but still sticking to its ideals of simple concepts, created using the finest resources, and then well made right here in England. And then we snap their gear up.
One of the their most iconic pieces ever produced is what became arguably their signature design - the Fisherman's Cagoule. A simple waxed jacket with oversized hood and large white buttons, available in an a range of striking colours.
My debut Albam is a classy and cool navy blue. Remember the forums were all a buzz a few years ago when these came out in epileptic Apple Green and Dayglo Orange. But I wouldn't be able to pull them off. Bit of a shame it's taken me so long to source one but definitely worth it. It's amazing how excited you can get over a made in England label and a daft wee poachers pocket on the back. Quality jacketry.
Delighted with this pick up. Looks smashing, especially with another new navy purchase - The Connoisseur Everyday Beanie. Simple and effective winter warmer. Not released yet though chaps. But join the queue because I'd recommend highly for £18 nicker.
