British designer Nigel Cabourn is known as an international collector of vintage military and outdoor wear, and is said to have amassed a collection of more than 4,000 vintage items over 30 years. His treasures reportedly include a British-focused collection of European military and outdoor wear from 1910 to the ‘50s, test samples and many other pieces. Items based on these specimens form the basis for his products, with items divided into an ‘Authentic’ line manufactured in England and a ‘Main’ line centring on Japan. All items maintain the practicality and functionality of the originals, and the attention to detail is apparent throughout.
