We’re proud to welcome Nigel Cabourn to the Northern Fells.
This highly respected cult British designer has brought his idiosyncratic vision to the industry for over 40 years, championing timeless styles and the highest standards of quality. Avoiding ‘fashion’ per se, Nigel Cabourn produces garments influenced by inspirational stories of real people in history and vintage military, outdoor and work wear pieces.
I don’t class myself as a ‘fashion designer’ as I don’t follow fashion. For over 35 years I’ve been avidly collecting vintage military, sports, expedition and work wear clothing and books and have amassed thousands of pieces from all corners of the globe. I’m absolutely fascinated and excited by the fabric and details in these functional, comfortable and above all durable garments, which have on the whole, been created not by fashion designers but by technicians and scientists. For me, product comes first. The fabrics and trims, the manufacturers we work with are all carefully chosen so we produce the best garments we can. At the end of the day my aim with each collection or collaboration is to create timeless styles that have the quality to last, get better with age and wear, and that are still relevant in years to come. Clothing that people can wear for a lifetime then pass down to their children. – Nigel Cabourn
This ethos of longevity, utility and a timeless sense of style all chimes perfectly with what we believe in here at the Northern Fells. We're really excited to be stocking Nigel Cabourn alongside our other premium classic brands, and we really hope you'll enjoy wearing his perfect garments as much as we do.
