Cordings presents autumn 24 collection anchored in outerwear

Cordings makes autumn 2024 about staying warm

Cordings Camel Coat with Shirt and Tie

In the time of Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens, England was becoming the center of fashion innovation when Charles Mackintosh developed the Mackintosh raincoat and John Charles Cording began innovating outdoorsman outerwear perfect for fox hunts and anything else British men wanted to do in the countryside of England. Cordings grew exponentially until it was chosen to outfit Henry Morton Stanley on his expedition to find Dr. David Livingstone. By the end, Cordings was and still is today, a premier outfitter in the outdoor world. The Cordings autumn 2024 collection is built on their stellar outerwear and named their curated outfits after each coat.
Brilliantly British

Seasonal lookbooks are some of the best ways for customers to get an idea of what a collection can look like. Curated outfits maximize the inspirational aspects of new garments hitting the market and allow potential buyers to decide which garments they want and which ones best fit their aesthetic. Cordings set up their autumn 24 lookbook with six curated outfits, all named for the outerwear piece used as the centerpiece of the look.

Get warmer with Gap’s new heavyweight hoodie

Stay warmer with 50% more weight

Gap hoodie in green

On the long list of brands we have grown accustomed to checking first when we need something for our wardrobe, The Gap has always been up there as one of the very top. It is one of the bridges between high quality and affordability that bring quiet luxury to your doorstep. They are always on our list, from their stylish jeans and basic polos to their fleece collection that makes us comfortable during the holidays. They kicked off their fall season by releasing what may become the last hoodie you may ever need. This month saw them drop their new Extra Heavyweight Hoodie, making this season the warmest it will be in a long time.
More than your average hoodie

Of course, a hoodie is just a hoodie, right? Well, no, of course, there is more to it. This particular hoodie has a few things going for it that none other has. On the technical side, it sports a premium weight of 650gsm; the Extra Heavyweight Oversized Hoodie is 250gsm heavier than our existing Heavyweight fleece collection. That is also triple the weight of the brand's standard fleece collection. The second thing it has going for it is the connection to social media. The hoodie is created in partnership with TikTok content creator Julia Huynh, known for her viral content series chronicling her search for the ultimate "hoodie that hoodies."
