Norse Projects x Oi Polloi Waxed Parka

Manchester favourite Oi Polloi has a history of collaborations having worked with R. Newbold, a subdivision of Paul Smith which has a very large fanbase in Japan, a few years ago and it seems that a return to these collaborations may be on the cards. This waxed parka is the first glimpse of their project with Scandinavian label Norse Projects and it's a promising first sign indeed.

Given that Manchester is known for it's wet weather and Norse Projects is inspired by the very similar Scandinavian climate, this seems like a reasonably good and well thought-out venture. The jacket will be available in three colours – military green, navy and beige. Furthermore it's made in England which can only be a good thing. There is branding present but it's very subtle with a nice patch detail somewhat reminiscent of the Belstaff logo present on the left sleeve.
