Description
Traditional styling with contemporary design. This classic-styled wet-waxed cotton jacket uses traditional materials and manufacturing
techniques but hidden beneath the old-world look is a hidden layer of modern technology.
The Holwell is produced by British Millerain, a company which harks back to a day when goods were transported by wind powered ships.
Their sails were made from cotton which was waxed to protect against the ravages of the sea; the material consequently found its way into
the clothing which sailors wore to protect themselves from the same weather.
Respectful of the material's heritage, Oxford's designers have employed traditional tailoring methods to assemble the outer garment. For example,
pockets are pleated in order to lie flat when empty but provide space to expand when full. The collar and accompanying (removable) belt are
designed and cut in 3 dimensions, rather than as simple, flat panels, the resulting fit is just perfect. The labour intensive triple-stitching employed in
all the key and critical impact areas are both pleasing to the eye and highly protective.
The result is a highly protective jacket which looks and feels great.
The whole jacket is CE approved to level A.
