Cumbria-based fashion label Working Class Heroes has officially unveiled its Heavyweight collection, a concise capsule consisting of a range of laid-back outerwear items. To showcase the new offerings, the brand ventured to a unique countryside pub in the heart of the Lake District for a photoshoot -- a setting that perfectly captures the label's design ethos.

Featured prominently in the easy-going lookbook is a new [oversized hoodie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reigning-champ-fw24-collection), which arrives in three colorways: Natural, Heather Grey, and Black. According to Working Class Heroes, the new pullover hoodie is made from a combination of organic cotton and recycled nylon.
