Weekend Offender put a technical spin on the classic mac with the Porto City Rain Mac which also features a house check lining to the collar for good measure.
There's just something very quintessentially British about the classic mackintosh, or mac as it is known for short, that adds a touch of class to an outfit like nothing else. That classic Casual look, a mac with the collar turned up just doesn't really get much better as far as outerwear is concerned. First introduced in the 19th century the mac became the backbone of British heritage quickly becoming a firm favourite for the upper classes, the "gentlemen" of the era as well as the British military. Moving forward to the 1980s the mac became synonymous with the Yuppy culture of Manhattan as young stockbrokers looked to one-up each other with expensive designer brands & lifestyle trainers. The mac's crossover to
the UK's Casual scene probably had a lot to do with the Yuppy connection as well as the classic British design which just looked the business down the pub with your pals. This latest Weekend Offender Porto Mac reminds us of why the classic mac still reigns supreme when it comes to match day attire with its house check collar & technical fabric.
