Cabourn's heritage army apparel imbued with a contemporary Nordic edge.
Swedish Sheepskin Jacket | Crew Sweat | Fatigue Pant
For Peak Performance’s first design collaboration, only a legend would do.
Enter Nigel Cabourn, the British cult designer, whose utilitarian workwear remembers the past to re-imagine the future; breathing life into vintage pieces. A natural partnership between the two outerwear experts, the collaboration brings together the best of both labels: fifty percent heritage army apparel and fifty percent Scandinavian innovation.
A concept Nigel and Sofia Gromark Norinder agreed on in the early stages, Swedish mountain troops’ attire was perfect for translating into a modern urban uniform. Months spent rifling through his extensive personal archive, new life is brought to the sheepskin coats once worn by Swedish ski patrols, mountain pants, snow smocks and insulating knitwear. The practicality of the clothing effortlessly integrates sport into the modern man’s lifestyle; silhouettes with technical solutions, materials that are lightweight, seam sealed for waterproofness and breathable for high intense activities off-piste; transitioning from skiing to off-the-slopes.
A true labour of love, the powerful contrast between the crafted and technical has resulted in an immortal Peak Performance x Nigel Cabourn collaboration, now available at END.
