The brand infuses these concepts into new designs in a seamless manner as Ambridge once worked as a designer or Goldwin. Goldwin contributes its rich heritage of 70 years, supported by technical expertise and fine craftsmanship across a range of shell jackets, shell pants, and long sleeve tops that are crafted with inspiration from sky apparel. The collection spotlights a shell setup created using [GORE-TEX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trekking-collection) PRO fabric and fuses this with the signature organic cutting styles of _J.L-A.L_.
