NAME: Wax London ORIGIN: London, UK STYLE: Reinvented classics With a fresh approach to timeless staples, Wax London designs affordable, high-quality pieces in modern finishes and technical fabrics. Looking forward to the return of the colder weather? No, probably not; but we reckon this coat from Wax London is set to change your mind. Its spun entirely from pure new wool, you see. Not only does this come as part of a collaboration with Harris Tweed (note the two brand's love for quality craftsmanship and sustainability), but the famously tactile fabric forms a sturdy double-breasted silhouette you can rely on cold winter. Topped with peaked lapels that ensure it's smart enough for the office, even cut slightly bigger to fit layering or suit - soft shoulders still keep it casual enough for weekends. Wax London x Harris Tweed: Where tradition and modernity meet... Classic meets contemporary in Wax's latest partnership with Harris Tweed, a heritage institution the North London brand has grown to love. Though founded centuries apart, their shared values of craftsmanship, quality and care remain the same, which make this a very natural relationship. Wax, known for their usage of sustainably sourced fabrics during production, keep manufacturing and sampling close to home, keep shipping to a minimum and support local skilled workers in what some see as a dying craft. Harris Tweed, share these sensibilities and more. When it comes to their unrivalled level of expertise, their unique weaving process and the geographical specificity of what constitutes Harris Tweed (Harris Tweed must be handwoven by its islanders on Lewis and Harris - that is a law!). The commitment shown to its' workers is plain to see, with third and fourth generation weavers following their parents' footsteps into the business. Something the tailors at Wax hope to create with their legacy too.
