A Grenfell Walker Jacket, estimated from the 1970s.
A special arrival.
Grenfell is Britain's preeminent coat brand.
The fabric known as 'Grenfell Cloth' was developed when the company created garments capable of withstanding conditions in the Arctic.
Grenfell Cloth is a high-density cotton fabric distinguished by superior water resistance, windproofing, and wear durability.
With a smoothness reminiscent of Ventile, the hand feels remarkably refined.
Where Ventile employs a plain weave, Grenfell Cloth is woven in a twill.
You might think of it as the twill version of Ventile.
The quality of the fabric is so evident that even the untrained eye recognizes its distinction.
For those who have never felt it, we genuinely encourage you to experience this piece firsthand.
The brand has been granted the British Royal Warrant—an honour difficult to obtain—a testament to its standing.
This piece bears the tag affectionately known as the 'mountain tag,' from the era when Grenfell was most revered. Such examples are scarce in the market today.
This jacket is crafted from Grenfell Cloth—the very fabric that defines the brand—used with characteristic generosity.
This is the Walker Jacket, Grenfell's archetypal model.
A design that has endured from the vintage era through to the present day, a timeless standard in the Grenfell line.
Pieces such as this were worn during exploration and outdoor pursuits of that period.
The diagonal chest pockets, traced in a figure-eight pattern, are the defining detail of this model.
An internal drawcord at the waist allows you to adjust the silhouette, offering versatility in how the piece can be worn.
The rear collar features a zip, and an integrated hood is concealed within, ready for unexpected rain.
As one would expect from an outdoor jacket.
The mountain tag combined with the AERO zip hardware marks this as a rare example from the early 1970s.
For the devoted Grenfell collector, this is an essential piece to own.
With its characteristic design, fabric hand, and colour, it proves remarkably suited to contemporary dressing, neither forced nor affected.
Worn casually—simply thrown over the shoulders—its true character emerges.
Personally, we find it pairs beautifully with more formal styling, such as tailored combinations.
The green that defines Grenfell.
When one thinks of Grenfell, it is often this colour that first comes to mind.
Size marked as 38.
A golden size that suits the Japanese frame well, suitable for a range of builds.
The piece presents in mint condition, with no notable soiling or wear.
There are no significant damages that would compromise wear, so it remains thoroughly wearable.
A distinguished example from Britain's finest brands.
Arrivals of this calibre are uncommon to our shop. Should you have been seeking such a piece, this is an opportunity not to overlook.
