UK-based clothing retailer this Thing of Ours has teamed up with British fashion label Mackintosh to launch a three-piece collection consisting of slick technical wear garments.
British to the core, all of the pieces in the new collection have been designed and produced in the brand's hometown of Lanacashire, England. Headlining the capsule is the new Mistbreaker, a one-of-kind rain jacket that features extra-long coverage and a unique compact design that allows the piece to be easily packed into a dedicated pocket. In addition, the jackets are offered in either Dyneema or Japanese technical nylon and come fitted with a Primaloft-insulated liner for additional warmth.
For those interested, the entire This Thing of Ours x Mackintosh collection is now available to purchase on This Thing of Ours' website.
