This Nigel Cabourn [Authentic Line] Cape Cameraman Jacket is is based on a piece a Japanese carpenter who bought the SS12 iteration and put it through years of hard use in his workshop, with multiple re-waxings and reparations, creating a stunningly worn in aesthetic [see photo #6] that Nigel has recreated by taking a Japanese cotton poplin and having it waxed in the UK.
The Cameraman jacket was inspired by a jacket worn by Wilfrid Noyce on an early Everest expedition and features include a buttoned wind stop collar tab, button fastening and two buttoned chest pockets. Other details include two dual entry hip pockets with button fastening, underarm vents, raglan sleeves and an adjustable buttoned cuff.
The Authentic Line is a unique collection consisting of original clothes inspired by Nigel's archival pieces from the 1940s and 1950s. His personal collection of vintage garments is now made up of over 3000 rare pieces. The garments are made in the UK from British fabrics in the same mills that have been manufacturing materials for the British military for the last 65 years.
