The Aquauscutum Hooded Sailor Jacket Features An Exclusive NylonRLG Fabric

If you were knocking about during the whole 'casual designer' brand revival of the early to mid noughties then you'll love this latest Hooded Sailor jacket from Aquascutum.

An OG casual brand originating from an era of Sergio Tacchini tennis wear, Lois cords & Diadora Borg Elite's, the British heritage brand Aquascutum went full circle in the early noughties thanks to lairy MC's like Mike Skinner, Nick Love's The Football Factory & a new wave of classic check' fanatics. There was something about spotting a bit of that classic check as you chalked up your pool cue whether it was discretely hidden on collars, elbows or caps, Aquascutum was top tier stuff at the time. From its more recent revival thanks to collaborations with Supreme back in 2016 to its latest performance driven Active line, Aquascutum now arrives back at its spiritual home for the latest season with the introduction of the performance driven, fully reversible Hooded Sailor jacket.

Founded back in 1851 by John Emary on London's prestigious Regent Street, it was Aquascutum that introduced the first waterproof wool fabric for outerwear. Aquascutum might sound like some sort of fancy Victorian name but it's actually the Latin for 'watershield'. Long before the days of GORE-TEX & garment technology from the 1980s from the likes of Massimo Osti, Aquascutum were already setting the bar for fabric innovation 130 years earlier. There's probably only really a handful of brands that can claim the same cult status as Aquascutum and just like the fellow British brand Burberry had their iconic 'Nova' check, for Aquascutum it was all about the Club check.
