We’ve arrived at that weird and deceptive part of the year, when blazing sunshine also somehow means sub-8°C temperatures. You’ve got to find the right combo of autumnal colours and just enough insulation, and this season Carhartt WIP’s Detroit Tuscon Jacket is by far the most qualified.
The poly/wool blended take on the iconic silhouette also has a quilted taffeta lining and the striped colour palette of dreams.
Carhartt have also delivered unto us a collection of their workwear classics such as their Dearborn canvas Vests, and some lovely jersey lines such as the pigment dyed Vista range.
Regardless of impossible to navigate temperatures, when the sun’s out in the Lakes you’ve got to go visit some body of water or another and stare at a mountain in the distance. It’s a rule.
This time it was a bit too cold to crack out the Carhartt dinghy though.
