Does anyone have a link to Cabourn's SS 14 preview? Was searching around the net and it looks like there has already been some preview shows but I can't find a link to the images.

Was checking a month or two ago and only founds things on Instagram. Would love to see more of this myself.

Just letting you all know that an Irvine Parka in size 52 has come up for sale on EBay.co.uk

Probably my favourite Cabourn piece ever and one that I doubt I will ever find in my size without hunting in Japan

Not sure if this has been shared yet but it's a wee preview of SS14. A couple of the things Drew models in the video are absolutely nuts. [VIDEO][/VIDEO]

Thanks for posting the Corniche video Jagger_On
The camo hooded raincoat looks very long and slim and a bit silly with the hood up - think it might look better a bit more oversized and belted up
Love the navy smock type jacket in the orange
The clothes racks look full of some very wearable pieces but I suppose it depends on what the buyers like and order for manufacture

Sorry, Eric, that one just looks plain strange to me. You seriously like it? :)

Hey guys, about how warm is the cameraman jacket? Think it would get me through a Tokyo winter with a shirt and sweater on underneath?

This is the one I'm looking at.

What are winters like in Tokyo? The Cameraman is mainly quite wind proof. There are versions with a wool lining, which helps, but it'll never be a winter jacket for places where there is a real winter. Plus, the lack of a zip will allow wind to blow in and heat to head out. Wearing a sweater will of course help a bit, but a true winter jacket? Not at all.

Yeah, they were the two things that stood out to me. I can't decide if I like them or not but definitely interested in seeing them. Do you think that raincoat is made of ventile? I quite like the look of the aircraft jacket in what looks like an X-Wing colour way. I wonder if you can attach a liner to it like the one from this season?

Like Nick said, it all depends on the weather. I'd say 30 F and you're fine. Below that and you'd want something else available. You'll look like a million bucks though.

Winter ones aren't an issue for me. Plenty of layering with them too. Bit of an issue in SS, but even then I don't think it's that bad at all. I'd likely be sweating some anyway if I'm sweating.

I'm in complete agreement about the ventile. It's a great material. I have one of his skyliners from last year in the waxed cotton (supposedly waxed) and it's just such a pain to keep dry. A ventile down jacket would just be at a next level.
