The newly unveiled Garbstore FW22 collection combines British and Japanese design elements to offer a range of highly-textured pieces that are perfect for winter weather.
In total, the collection was created using 11 different mills throughout Japan, resulting in a truly unique combination of materials and cuts. Standout items within the collection include baggy paisley shirts, goose-down overcoats, and extra-cozy zip-up fleeces. In addition, the collection's accompanying lookbook teased images of the brand's newest Padmore & Barnes footwear collaboration.
Moreover, the lookbook also includes a variety of items from Garbstone's subsidiary labels, Drop Out Sports and The English Difference. These pieces include collegiate-inspired cardigans, merino wool turtle necks, crewneck sweaters, pullover hoodies, mock neck sweats, and more.
