Timeless Modern British with a Contemporary Interpretation
MACKINTOSH
MACKINTOSH coats have been loved across generations since their inception in 1830. The brand has been a "timeless classic" at JOURNAL STANDARD since the shop's opening in 1997, and this year, they've selected a multitude of appealing models, incorporating the latest autumn/winter trends.
First, let's highlight an item from the "104 MACKINTOSH" capsule collection: the "Dunkeld Short GTS." This collection reimagines classic silhouettes like the traditional balmacaan, Chester coat, and duffle coat for a modern aesthetic. As such, it's infused with ambitious design elements throughout.
At first glance, it appears to be a standard balmacaan coat, but the collar lining features a trendy camouflage pattern. The detachable liner also uses camouflage fabric, crafted from materials by the esteemed British textile manufacturer, FOX BROTHERS. For fans of these iconic British brands, this collaboration is not to be missed.
Another must-see is the new "Regency GTS" horse-riding coat. This longer-length coat boasts a beautiful A-line silhouette and meticulous details such as rubberized tape on the hem and cuffs, and leg straps. It also comes with a detachable lambswool liner, making it versatile for three seasons.
Even Petite Frames Can Wear It with Sophisticated Volume
For women, Mackintosh is now a brand of classic popularity. The unique crispness of Mackintosh cloth creates a sharp silhouette, making it appealing even to petite women, appearing sharp and smart around the shoulders. Its chic, sophisticated British ambiance effortlessly ties any outfit together.
The trench coat "Muirkirk," a long-selling item, is a prime example. Its slim silhouette fits seamlessly with both dressy ensembles and casual styles.
Meanwhile, unique models like the balmacaan coat with a monogram pattern are also appearing, keeping us on our toes. While maintaining its traditional craftsmanship, Mackintosh constantly evolves with the times, making it a coveted item that belongs in every wardrobe.
