Oi Polloi have gotten together with Denmark's Norse Projects to create a new parka jacket for the upcoming winter months...
In just a few seasons Norse Projects have established themselves as an Oi Polloi shop favourite.
With both the brands hometowns sharing pretty crap climates a joint venture into outerwear seemed like the ideal collaboration.
Steve Sanderson, owner of Oi Polloi, describes the inspiration for the joint venture...
"For me, it's all about rambling, walking and camping in mid to late seventies, it's the kind of jacket the old guys would be wearing. At the time we thought they looked pretty cool."
"The jacket we found and chose to use for inspiration is one of my favourite outerwear pieces. It was in part designed by a legendary British mountaineer Chris Bonington... we love that it's cotton, just using 2 layers. A superb simple design. Also the hoods a great shape and the length a little longer than most jackets - but not so long as to make it a fully fledged mod parka."
The jacket features British Millerain waxed cotton, Primaloft insulation, Talon zippers, wrist gators and an embroidered Norse x Oi Polloi scout patch that have all come together to create a great winter piece.
The Norse Projects x Oi Polloi Parka will be available from oipolloi.com priced at £299. In the mean time check out the photos below for a closer look at some of the amazing details of this jacket.
