We’ve already waxed lyrical about Rains here at StyleDen, and put simply Oi Polloi has consistently been one of the most important and influential menswear stores on this Sceptred Isle for more years than there are fashion websites and blogs worth reading.
This collab sees the Manchunian aesthetes and bantersmiths create the most functional Coach jacket you’ll see all year, complete with detachable hood (which fits in an inner pocket) and proper waterproofing you’d expect from Rains, as opposed to taking off your ‘showerproof’ jacket to find damp shoulders and a sad face when you look in the mirror.
Of course you can choose to spend the months between now and Autumn hoping for glorious blue skies and joyous outlooks, and far be it from me to disavow you of that wide-eyed optimism. I for one would suggest a pair of sunnies and this before you leave the house, in a ‘walk softly but carry a big stick’ manner to cover all eventualities short of a meteor or the zombie apocalypse.
