Heritage & Inspiration
dunhill Motorities was the ultimate destination for motoring coats between 1897 and 1931.
Early dunhill motoring coats, at least, had to be in extremely robust leather to keep out the cold and wet in motorcars, which exposed the pioneer motorist to a combination of weather and wind chill.
Later ones tended to be in softer leathers, as the motorcar developed more sophisticated methods of protection for the driver. As far as styling was concerned, lengths were long, cuffs had internal fasteners and collars could be buttoned or fixed up to the neck.
Many motoring coats were double-breasted, to increase protection.
In the summer months the main problem for motorists was keeping the dust off their clothes from the relatively unmade roads.
Cottons, linens and linen/silk mixes were popular and, again, with sophisticated detailing and, where appropriate, linings.
Jude Law exclusively at dunhill
Embracing the idea of the new modish British gentleman, dunhill has built a distinguished reputation based on the values of style, innovation, quality and wit. Jude's masculine style and unparalleled status as a modern male icon - as well as being a considered and highly accomplished actor - perfectly complements the spirit of dunhill.
Spring/Summer 2008 at dunhill is less about the one-season-wonders of fashion - though a fashion edge is here for the dunhill customer who wants it - and more about the personal style of familiar, favourite and eventually lovingly timeworn pieces: the cashmere sweater, the cosy cardigan, the soft leather jacket, each an heirloom in the making.
Reversible Zip-through Blouson
Reversible zip-through nylon blousons are available in either chestnut brown/tan or navy/black, whilst cagoule style packable hooded nylon zip up jackets are realised in 3 shades of blue or the bright and beautiful tangerine orange. Each style benefits from fisherman pocket details and a statement white zip.
Swimwear
Whether you will be strolling down the Cap D'Antibes in the South of France or Macaroni Beach in Mustique, dunhill's versatile range of swimwear offers a fresh dose of masculinity. Choose from the the timeless sporty piece, 50 cm in length, or the more modern range, 40 cm long, falling mid-thigh to suit the more tan-conscious, 21st century dandy. All the swimwear comes in a drawstring carry pouch - in a self fabric of the item contained within. Furthermore, the pouch also features a waterproof liner, solving the common dilemma of a wet swimsuit and a plane to catch. Satisfying any demanding summer schedule, this little piece of flair in a bag is an essential addition to any gentleman's weekend bag.
