Selectism turns us to the Spring/Summer 2010 collection from England’s Heritage Research. The garments are crafted in England using the finest British and Japanese fabrics. Every piece is cut, sewn and finished by hand using traditional English tailoring methods. With inspiration drawn from military, outdoor and workwear themes, HR creates collections that strike a perfect balance between classic and contemporary clothing. This holds especially true in the S/S 2010 lineup, as the label blesses us with a great set of gear, some even my father would enjoy. Maybe.

Made in England, this British Millerain-constructed parka from Heritage Research is as functional as it is wearable. “Fusing together the design classics that are the 60/40 Parka and the Maine fisherman’s jacket, Heritage Research’s longline parka is a ready-made modern classic. Made from premium waxed cotton it can be worn all year round, and with a jacket this good we’d want to wear it as much as possible.”
