“Anchored by a versatile mix of classic, staple and heritage silhouettes, including the instantly-recognisable STAPLETON, Penfield ROCKFORD Jacket and KASSON styles, the Penfield FALL/WINTER 2010 COLLECTION is our most comprehensive line to date. The collection is brought together by a classic autumnal color palette and several signature fabric stories by way of Penfield tweed and HUDSON WAX CLOTH, a woven poly-cotton blend with a dry wax impregnation that is not only windproof, but water-repellent, as well. With the addition of the brand new HOOSAC expedition parka, Penfield FOXCROFT Jakcet and LAKEVILLE mountain jackets, Penfield OUTBACK Bodywarmer Gillet among others. Not to mention the Penfield OXON Satchel Bag and legendary Penfield SANFORD Beanie Hat Our Fall/Winter 2010 range of Penfield Jackets and Penfield Outerwear spans many styles and functions, alongside knits, shirts, pants and accessories, all of which maintain our original design statement: “For Life in the Open.” This season also sees an expansion of our three main collections, including a BLACK BEAR line emphasizing contemporary design and technical innovation and new styles added to both Penfield TRAILWEAR and CLASSIC collections. Our WOMEN’S LINE has also been extended into a wider-ranging collection than ever before, with classic Penfield styles such as the MILLIS, KASSON Jacket and STAPLETON reinterpreted into women’s silhouettes.

The founding principles of fashion, function, practicality and durability still resonate clearly in today’s collection, 35 years after the brand’s inception. To commemorate this 35th Anniversary, we have developed a LIMITED EDITION LEATHER OUTBACK VEST. Since its original release in the late 1970’s, the OUTBACK vest has been a staple across all of Penfield’s winter collections, and is now recognized not only as a great functional outdoor vest, but also a popular, highly sought-after fashion piece.“ Click here to view the full Penfield Clothing range

The Kangol Bamboo Mowbray Pork Pie Hat in Grey from the Kangol eco range is a new Kangol trilby that derives its name from one of Britain’s most delectable baked treats, the Mowbray Porkpie. Like a classic Porkpie hat, the Bamboo Mowbray has a telescopic crown and a stingy, upturned brim. The Bamboo blend yarn is a soft handle, environmentally friendly yarn that has become an understated but chic staple in the Kangol Hat range.

Already a celebrity favourite, the Kangol  Japanese Twill Summer Bucket Hat in a Japanese-made lightweight cotton twill is offered in two of the most popular work-wear forms, Denim and Chino. Like a fine summer jacket, the seams are bound with poplin, providing a bit of contrast inside the hat. A branded leather loop holds a metal d-ring if you wish to attach the hat to your bag or belt. This timeless Bucket shape includes a self-fabric band, and mid-width brim, which provides solid sun protection.

If you’re after a Kangol classic, the Kangol 504 Tropic Flat Cap is the iconic, original Kangol Cap. This hat debuted in 1954 and the seamless knitted and blocked construction is purely a Kangol innovcation and the Tropic is the summer weight material that Kangol has built it’s name upon.

Straw bowler hat, straw trilby hat, straw boater – whatever the style, as long as it’s straw, it’s in. With that in mind, Urban Excess has lined up a massive collection of straw hats, which means there is something to suit everyone, so there are no excuses for not embracing this trend!

The Brixton Castor Straw Trilby is back for 2010 and in addition, they’ve also brought out the Brixton Pack Straw Bowler Hat, a straw bowler hat featuring that all important feather detailing and the Brixton Drifter, a Boater Hat complete with the classic boater band and all the usual Brixton bells and whistles.  A clean contemporary edgy update on the bowler and boater hat, these are definitely on our must-have list.

For fun in the sun or on a moonlit night, the Goorin Hammond Straw Hat is created from a lightweight, woven Paper Straw with a flip-up Stingy Brim and contrasting double grosgrain band. A hat that will be in your collection for years to come.
