Henri Lloyd F/W 2010

Henri Lloyd, a British sailing heritage brand founded in 1963, has just released the first look at their F/W 2010 collection.  The goods find themselves firmly entrenched in HL's British heritage, but instead of the sea the collection takes things to the countryside.  It's a move based on the ideas of texture and layering and I'll be damned if the folks over at Henri Lloyd didn't do a fine job at reconciling both their heritage and an updated brand aesthetic.  While the collection appears quite classic, and it is, there is a modern edge to the clothes in the form of technical details - articulated sleeves, quilt stitching, etc.  Advances learned from years of making garments that can stand up to the "marine experience" are now getting the country gent upgrade.  I'll take all the outerwear. Thanks.
