Deploying winning tactics to conquer the military smock, Nigel Cabourn and UrlfreezeShops dress one of the North East designer’s favourite garments with a survival state of mind. Coloured to be seen in the water, the vibrant orange takes its colouring from the reverse of an MA-1 jacket – when it would be used to signal to rescue teams in the water. As authentic as an original, this replica is commissioned by the Cookson & Clegg factory; a major supplier of the British army and producers of military grade clothing. Adapting the uniform for the modern man, the generously sized pockets will keep all the essentials close to hand, with drawstrings offering protection from the elements.
