Manchester-based retail label Oi Polloi taps fellow British brand Berghaus on a new collaborative project, bringing life back to the Ice Cap 78. Recognized as one of the most iconic jackets by the brand, it arrives just in time for the Fall/Winter 2021 season.
The jacket is finished with a padded taffeta fabric material for a newly updated touch and it is offered in the color palettes of Medieval Blue and Volcano or Forest Biome and Dusk. The jacket features details including a full zippered fastening, press stud storm flap, and a drawcord-adjustable hood that boasts detachable capabilities. Each tonal design is completed with a muted Berghaus branding on one of the stud-fastened slash pockets.
