I have heard and read blogs where people are saying that a lot of cut and sew and outerwear look as though they have been cut from the same cloth. And I believe that to be a fair statement in a sense. However there are a few brands out there and a few pieces that catch my eye and give me that glimpse of hope. Last year it was the 3sixteen Field Jacket.
Here is a little preview of some pieces that have caught my eye as of late. I can't say that I like everything that Edifice and Relwen are doing but I think these two pieces are really nice.
