This is the inaugural collaboration with the heritage men's wear designer, Nigel Cabourn, who brings his many years of design expertise and fine eye for details to the All Star Bosey silhouette.  Sourced from the Talbot weaving, the original Ventile factory located in Lancashire, England.  This fabric was originally designed for the Royal British Air Force to help keep them warm in harsh sub-climate conditions.
