Cagoule - Rescue Orange

A cagoule built like the originals were meant to be: simple, functional, and quietly overbuilt.

Made in South Shields in the North East of England, this is cut from British Millerain 100% cotton — two dry-wax Rangers, the Ranger 8 in Khaki, and the Rescue Orange in Ranger 6. The cloth is proofed enough for daily wear and sudden showers, but the real feature of this stuff is that it’s adaptable: if you need more weather protection, apply more wax and push it further.

Unlike a lot of wax cotton, this cloth doesn’t need a lining to behave. You get the protection and the structure without the extra bulk — more breathable, less fussy, easier to wear.

Sporting a 3-piece hood, a YKK metal zip backed by a windbreak, cotton herringbone drawcord at the hood and a removable herringbone wind cord at the waist and though there shouldnt be any stress points on this garment, bar tacks run throughout.

And yes — the hip pockets are sized for stashing maps. It’s a useless function now, but a subtle nod to the “explorer” idea that started this pattern in the first place.

Pre-order (mailing list only): these are being finished next week, dispatched as soon as they’re ready, and then released to general sale.
