Peaky Blinder

More of a hoodie blinder, actually. For all those who love an overshirt but just wish they came with a hood. Surprise! This one does. Not only that, but it's jersey-lined for extra comfort – as are the handwarmer pockets and cuffs. Available in a couple of slightly different fabrics and patterns, the Midland is a mid-weight shirt jacket (or 'shacket' if you like a portmanteau) in soft brushed cotton flannel. It's got a full-length zip and hood drawcord, plus a chest pocket with faux-horn button closure. The fit is relaxed, with back pleats and side vents for ease of movement. We're particularly taken with the unusual 'stash' pocket round the back, which seems just about the right size for one of those craft beer cans

• Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.

  From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.

  And if you’re wondering about the name, KAVU is an aviation acronym that stands for ‘klear above, visibility unlimited’. It means it’s a perfect day for an adventure.
