Viewing the Nigel Cabourn was visit number two on BDMOTP’s list this season at London Collections:Men. The collection was actually three collections in one: the Authentic Nigel Cabourn, the Lybro brand and The Army Gym.
The authentic collection was preppier and had that distinct British gleam of impeccable tailoring and style. Tweeds and sweaters, trenches and watches can be found in this collection. Lybro is the brand clothing of the factory workers: utility, functional items with comfort of the utmost importance. Of course, we flash black to British industrial revolution with some of these looks. Finally, the Army gym reminds us of a high school locker room: sporty numbered tees bring us back to the good ol’ days.
After speaking with the designer, the vision of the three collections became clear and we at BDMOTP think combining all three would make for the ultimate British gentleman.
