Fat Face launches first premium line

Lifestyle and fashion brand, Fat Face are launching their first

premium line, The Fat Face British Heritage Collection this month. The line features luxurious but practical outerwear and cosy knits for men and women, and all the pieces have been designed with the great British outdoors in mind, both rural and coastal.

Designed by husband and wife duo Dean and Lisa Batty, who have their own label Cro’Jack, the collection uses deluxe fabrics and British craftsmanship. The collection features vintage military inspired styling, fisherman’s knits and functional waxed cotton jackets and capes.

Dean comments that the line is designed to be, “stylish yet snug while exploring the great outdoors, or enjoying a warm beer and some British humour down the pub.”

Key highlights of the womenswear line is the Darcy Wax Jacket, in chestnut with corduroy trims, lined with soft red plaid moleskin for extra warmth; as well as the hooded Dorothy Duffel Jacket in cream or old navy, with striped lining, boasts feminine cute with an old-school twist.

Men have a choice of two jackets to keep them warm and dry while out in the elements: the 4-pocket waxed Captain Jacket, created when Dean took apart an old American M. 1943 uniform and a British Second World War jacket, and is produced in a 6oz British Millerain Wax Cotton in brown or chestnut, lined with soft moleskin; the second is a hooded Shackleton jacket made from waxed cotton with moleskin lining and is available in khaki and olive plus statement brights yellow, blue and red.

The Fat Face British Heritage Collection will be available online and at 15 selected Fat Face stores nationwide including, Aberdeen, Bluewater, Cambridge, Covent Garden, Manchester, Norwich and Southampton, from October 19.
