Current Covet: Wings + Horns Ventile Field Mac Khaki

I think we all know how I feel about mackintosh raincoats, and Wings + Horns has produced one of the best I have seen in a long time. While this doesn't have the minimalist vintage feel of some of the previously posted items, it retains a rugged characteristic that's hard not to find enticing. To be honest, I haven't been the biggest fan of Wings + Horns, especially their Tiger Fleece Hoody. However, this jacket and some of their other spring items have been surprising me lately. Coming just under $500, you won't see me wearing this anytime soon, but it still looks fantastic.

For the Walk to the Office

Piggy backing on yesterday’s post, the following are a selection of raincoats which would be perfect for a walk from the subway to the office. I prefer a mackintosh since it gives a slimmer look overall.


Jump the Gun 60’s Raincoat $190
Simply perfection. Jump the Gun is a British shop which specializes in mod-influenced menswear. They carry some of the best brands and their house brand is top of the line. Make sure to check out their house shirts and sta-press trousers.


YMC Waxed Mac $160
I’m not too familiar with this brand, but if they can produce an item of this quality for this price, I will need to get acquainted.


JCrew Sutherland $198
There’s not a whole lot to say about JCrew which hasn’t been said. It would just be a crime not to mention this item.


LL Bean Signature Trench $185
This jacket been mentioned in a previous post. Very nice, although at this price point any of these other options might be a better bet. On the other hand, I doubt they will go on sale as often or as deep as LL Bean.


Lands End Canvas Heritage Cotton Coat $80
Certainly not the most stylish, but hard to resist at this price-point.
