Covered: Bags, outfits
Umbrella outfit s Phil Thornton points out in his column on page 18, chaps in the north-west of England have always been partial to what we’d term outdoor wear. While the fashion world might be going for hiking boots and woolly knits this season, those in the know have always sought out obscure brands from the likes of Millets and Ellis Brigham. This selection, courtesy of our friends at Carhartt and Oi Polloi in Manchester, is ideal for a bit of aprés-ski fun, even if the nearest most of us get to a mountain range is a miserable walk along the Pennines. Still, for any ‘chalet scally’, this combination is just the thing to get the ladies onside when the Christmas mistletoe comes out. Fill yer boots, gentleman – the season starts here. www.oipolloi.com
